Edge Computing has transformative potential and its implementation should meet the demands for computing resources for the decentralization of 5G communication
Much more than a technological solution, Edge Computing is an architectural solution. The idea behind this computing model is to decentralize information, bringing data processing closer to where it is needed.
Edge Computing is a term that is on the rise in the technology market, especially at a time when there is a lot of discussion about the implementation of autonomous cars, smart cities, metaverse and 5G technology.
This feature works by installing small data centers spread across several different locations, bringing information that used to be stored only in large data centers to urban centers.
The information that arrives in these small decentralized data centers is processed, stored and classified so that it can be accessed quickly by the user, reducing processing and waiting times.
The key point in Edge Computing's relationship with the aforementioned technological terms is precisely related to instant access and can be summed up in a well-known term: low latency.

Edge Computing and 5G in Brazil
The closeness that Edge Computing offers in relation to data processing and the location where it is needed generates a considerable reduction in connection latency.
Low latency is one of the key factors in the effective implementation of 5G in Brazil. This new connection that is being implemented in the country enables not only a much faster connection than its previous version. The high quality of 5G enables the creation of smart cities, autonomous cars, metaverse scenarios, among other innovations.
Like Edge Computing, Internet 3.0, related to the 5G network, is based on the decentralization of the connection, bringing quality, speed and instant access to users.
The challenges of implementing new 5G technologies
Edge Computing is a prerequisite for implementing 5G in Brazil. This is because, in order to be able to put into practice all the innovative projects that 5G proposes, it is necessary to have low latency.
The idea of 5G already includes this low latency, but for it to become a reality, the implementation of edge computing solutions is essential. With this, telephone and internet operators will be able to bring connection points ever closer to the user.
The architecture proposed by Edge Computing is based on the distribution of small data centers spread across decentralized regions, creating a kind of data storage cloud.
This decentralization will bring the 5G connection, previously centralized in large urban and technological hubs, to cities in different areas of the country. In this way, data processing will be brought ever closer to the user, so that companies and end users will be able to access the 5G network regardless of where they are in the country.
SBA Edge solutions for 5G
Currently, large data centers are located in urban centers and technological hubs, such as the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. When the necessary information and data is accessed from these locations, the connection is good and flawless.
However, when access is made from regions that do not have an adequate data center structure, the connection starts to have latency problems and the computing resources are not functional, as they are centralized in the hubs.
We believe that 5G is a technology that will bring many benefits to both companies and end consumers. And we also believe that the idea of decentralized 5G will only move from theory to practice when it is able to serve users in all regions of the country.
Edge Computing, a computing service offered by SBA Edge, will transform the idea of innovation for the implementation of 5G as a technological solution in favor of connectivity.
