Issue Zero Margin

Summary

Zero Margin asks whether mobile edge computing could make data centres obsolete. Mobile edge computing, also known as multi-access edge computing, would merge with the Internet of Things to speed up signal and data processing. That would strengthen real-time decision-making and allow digital services without noticeable latency across many sectors. In the end, centralised data centres would lose their purpose. Linked to the Boundless Multidimensional Data megatrend and to trends such as advanced computing and data protection, its keywords include 5G and 6G, data residency and sovereignty, edge AI, edge computing and low latency.
