Summary

MEC is primarily about lowering latency to deliver faster service to end-users, with a focus on three dimensions: network latency, computation latency, and data processing latency at the edge. The global MEC market is expected to experience significant growth, driven by increasing IoT adoption and the need for faster decision-making in various industries. Telcos can capitalize on this trend by moving up the value chain and capturing revenues from edge platforms and applications. Aerospike's real-time data platform offers a key value proposition for MEC use cases such as multiplayer cloud gaming, image/video analytics, content management at edge, and IoT at any scale, providing low latency, real-time performance, and efficient data processing capabilities.
