Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a technology that brings data processing closer to where users and devices are, such as at cell towers or local data centers. Instead of sending all data to a distant cloud for analysis, MEC handles tasks locally, reducing latency and improving speed. This is especially beneficial for applications like augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, or real-time gaming, where quick response times are critical. By distributing computing resources to the network edge, MEC enhances performance, conserves bandwidth, and supports more efficient, responsive mobile services.
