Decentralization of computing is a growing trend, which implies a distributed IT infrastructure for processing and storing large volumes of data, which is known as Edge Computing. In the next few years, more than half of companies' IT infrastructures will be deployed on the periphery of the network. On the other hand, the benefits of 5G will allow effective communication between different edge locations and between the edge and the cloud, thus providing high connectivity with low latency, reliability and high bandwidth. Edge Computing in conjunction with 5G will make Industry 4.0 a reality. Medical applications, power distribution and the autonomous driving industry, among others, will benefit and the use cases will be limitless.
