Description: Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) is a network architecture that enables the integration of cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of the network. This technology is characterized by its ability to manage and process data close to the source of generation, reducing latency and improving efficiency in information transmission. By allowing multiple access technologies, such as Wi-Fi, 5G, and other network connections, it facilitates the interconnection of IoT (Internet of Things) devices and real-time applications. Edge computing has become essential in a world where the demand for real-time data processing is constantly growing, especially in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and automotive. Its relevance lies in the ability to provide faster and more reliable services, optimizing resource use and enhancing the end-user experience. Additionally, by decentralizing data processing, it contributes to greater security and privacy, as sensitive information can be managed locally rather than sent to distant servers.
