Edge computing fundamentals and its benefits for IoT

As mentioned previously in the chapter, there are a great many benefits that are derived from edge computing. However, its nature of implementation is different than the paradigms of implementation based on the IoT networks we’ve seen thus far.

In this section, we will be examining the architecture and the benefits of edge computing, understanding more about how components within an edge network perform and where it sits within the overall picture of IoT.

Edge computing architecture

Edge computing architecture is generally composed of four different layers that play a role in the successful deployment of the network. There are two types of processing: near edge and far edge. Near edge refers to processing and data handling that occurs close to the IoT devices, often within the same local network or facility, optimizing for low latency and immediate response. Conversely, far edge involves processing done at more distant...
