Why Edge Computing Is the Missing Layer for 5G Networks
Episode 112 of The Edge Computing Podcast unpacks a tension rarely discussed: 5G promised single-digit millisecond latency, but the core network architecture hasn't kept up. Lucas and Luna drill into a real-world bottleneck — backhaul from the cell tower to the regional data center. In metro areas, that round trip can add 20 to 30 milliseconds, negating the radio-level gain. The fix? Distributed edge nodes at the tower base or aggregation point. We walk through a specific deployment by a Tier 1 carrier in Chicago using off-the-shelf servers running Kubernetes to handle low-latency video…
