5G and Edge Computing

It is hard to separate big new 5G use cases and revenue streams from edge computing. “It’s not just a new radio access network,” Dell EMC CTOJohn Roese said. “It’s an edge compute model; it’s an automation layer that we’ve never seen before; it’s data center modernization."

The edge computing layer "didn’t exist in 4G," he said. "It hasn’t existed in mobile before.”
