ABSTRACT

The number of commercial devices that can run fully-featured operating systems has expanded dramatically as a consequence of impressive developments in embedded ‘systems-on-a-chip’. The potential of the Internet of Things has expanded as a result of this change. Several earlier Internet of Things devices were essentially data collectors and transmitters, with no ability to carry out analysis. When it comes to edge computing, the ability to do sophisticated calculations at the location where they are being performed is facilitated by the rising processing power of today’s gadgets. By moving cloud computing services closer to the network’s border, edge computing allows for the creation of new services and products. This allows for a wide range of new possibilities. On the basis of a comparison between cloud computing and edge computing technologies, we evaluate, highlight, and report on recent advancements in edge computing technologies in this study. We also consider the field of maintenance and the benefits of edge computing. This presentation also includes a few illustrations and photographs. This investigation also considers the importance of this phenomenon in the functioning of 5G technologies.
