Seven out of 10 businesses plan to invest in edge computing in the next 12 months, and eight out of 10 believe that 5G is “indispensable” to reaping benefits from edge, according to a new report from Google Cloud and Omdia.
The report is based on surveys of nearly 500 business and IT/tech leaders; Google Cloud gave a preview of the findings last fall, but is now releasing more detailed results.
Around 70% of the surveyed firms plan to spend $100,000 or more on edge during the first 24 months of deploying it, the report found — and nearly a quarter of them have plans to spend a million dollars or more.
