5G Edge is our multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform that enables cloud servers to run closer to endpoints, reducing latency and speeding up local processing.

5G can offer high speed, high capacity and low latency. Edge computing technology helps to take its performance to new levels. And this reliable, high-speed connectivity and data processing is leading to new technological advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics and more.

Mobile edge clouds collect, store, and process information close to wireless devices within a cloud network. Proximity to devices, and by extension users, helps drive significant performance enhancements, including higher bandwidth, lower latency, and faster response times and decision-making.

Edge computing is a local source of processing and storage for the data and computing needs of IoT devices, which reduces the latency of communication between IoT devices and the central IT networks those devices are connected to.

Verizon Edge is a flexible equipment payment plan that spreads the retail price of a phone over 24 months. You can also upgrade to a new smartphone in as little as 30 days if 75 percent of the full retail price of the smartphone has been paid.

EDGE (also known as Enhanced GPRS or EGPRS) is a data system used on top of GSM networks. It provides nearly three times faster speeds than the outdated GPRS system.

Verizon EDGE is a program that provides the flexibility to upgrade early and pay for a device over 20 months rather than paying for it all up front. The Verizon EDGE program also provides lower up-front cost, no financing charge, no early termination fees, and discounts on monthly smartphone access.

An edge computing platform is a horizontal piece of software that enables the automated deployment, update and management of distributed applications. It is similar to a cloud platform, though there are some key differences that we explore in the article below.

Edge computing offers a more efficient alternative; data is processed and analyzed closer to the point where it's created. Because data does not traverse over a network to a cloud or data center to be processed, latency is significantly reduced.

Edge application services reduce the volumes of data that must be moved, the consequent traffic, and the distance that data must travel. That provides lower latency and reduces transmission costs.

5G increases speeds by up to ten times that of 4G, whereas mobile edge computing reduces latency by bringing compute capabilities into the network, closer to the end user.

5G increases the speed of data transfer, while edge computing reduces the back and forth between the data center and the cloud, thus reducing the amount of unnecessary traffic over the network.
