The characteristic function of any edge data center should be
speed. The whole aim of pushing data processing to the edge of the
network is by reducing latency to speed up response times.
Since edge data centers are closer to end-users, their output
in nearly any case should be faster. This increased efficiency does
not also cost more.
Through laying improved cables or improving electricity, edge
computing does not have better coverage (although it can help
increase the efficiency of 5 G networks as they are completely
implemented); it is actually a more effective data transmission and
delivery architecture so it can provide information with reduced
latency easily to local users.
