Hard to Separate Edge Computing from 5G and AI

Edge computing, 5G and artificial intelligence are fundamentally inseparable, many would argue. The reason is that the advantages of ultra-low latency and ultra-high bandwidth apps and use cases hinges ultimately on use of all three underlying technologies, plus use of the new 5G virtualized core networks. 

Though 3GPP Release 15 standards are aimed primarily at supporting consumer smartphone use cases, Release 16 and 17 will extend 5G frameworks to private networks, IIoT (industrial IoT), and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), according to Jim Thompson, Qualcomm CTO. 

Those new enterprise applications will often require AI and edge computing, he said.
