No Metaverse Without Edge Computing

It is possible to predict that edge data centers and edge data processing will be foundational for support of metaverse applications and use cases. But it also is possible to predict that much more orchestration also will be required. 


In fact, improvements seem likely almost everywhere, from chips and algorithms to devices to connectivity and computing infrastructures.

Much as today’s web pages are essentially assembled in real time, so too metaverse experiences and other immersive applications will require assembling elements from many sources, in real time. That will require much more real-time communication and computing, and likely more server denstiy as well


Architectures that are more open also are likely. Edge computing, hybrid local and remote real-time rendering, video compression, cross-layer visibility, network optimizations and improved latency between devices and within radio access networks all seem necessary.
