Edge computing brings a number of benefits to the Internet of Things. Reduced latency, improved resiliency and availability, lower costs, and local data storage (to assist with regulatory compliance) to name a few. In my last blog post I examined some of these benefits as a means of defining exactly where is the edge. Now let’s take a closer look at how edge computing benefits play out in real-world IoT use cases.
Benefit No. 1: Reduced latency
Many applications have strict latency requirements, but when it comes to safety and security applications, latency can be a matter of life or death.
