Indeed, due to the need for real time analytics and automation, edge computing is projected to blow up by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edge computing is different to traditional cloud computing as it can process data closer to where it\u2019s generated. That means that live streaming in the entertainment industry could benefit greatly from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cEOUeItHDdo?si=sNi5gUoq3Cm1jAot\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Edge Computing Can Reduce Latency in Live Streams<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best applications for edge computing is in making live streaming nigh on perfect with no noticeable latency. It has already been used to good effect in the online casino industry, where live streamed games are hugely popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/games.paddypower.com\/c\/blackjack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paddy Power blackjack games<\/a> use real world dealers and stream the content to players in their homes in real time. Judging by the fact that there are numerous offerings to choose from, it\u2019s clear that this format attracts a lot of players. There are diverse offerings on display, from Lightning Blackjack to All Bets Blackjack, all of which rely on a seamless connection between the studio and the player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edge computing is also useful for live streamed sports, as it allows viewers to see every minor aspect of the games in full detail. The technology is allowing sports viewing to become more interactive, with people able to watch together and comment in real time on events in the matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is So Much Focus Being Put Into Edge Computing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/councils\/forbestechcouncil\/2019\/12\/23\/13-ways-edge-computing-can-benefit-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/13-Ways-Edge-Computing-Can-Benefit-Businesses.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48349 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/13-Ways-Edge-Computing-Can-Benefit-Businesses.webp 960w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/13-Ways-Edge-Computing-Can-Benefit-Businesses-768x576.webp 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 960px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 960\/720;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>13 Ways Edge Computing Can Benefit Businesses<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS52587424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">latest reports from IDC<\/a>, edge computing is forecast to reach $378 billion in 2028. An enhanced customer experience in the entertainment industry is a leading factor towards this growth, but the technology will also benefit the development of other key industries thanks to its reduced bandwidth and improved reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The manufacturing industry is another sector that uses edge computing, as it allows for real-time monitoring of production processes. It can help with predictive maintenance and process optimization, meaning that there\u2019s much greater operational efficiency. Banking and retail also put edge computing to use in similar ways, with the technology helping fuel AI-powered analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Does the Future Look for Edge Computing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the rapid adoption of 5G networks around the world, the future is bright for edge computing \u2013 hence the bold projections for its value in the next few years. One of the most intriguing applications is in the development of autonomous vehicles. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrow.com\/en\/research-and-events\/articles\/sensors-and-edge-ai-how-they-work-together-to-provide-autonomous-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a piece in Arrow<\/a>, edge computing and AI will be key to self-driving cars being able to make quick decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/INMHO-mgSsU?si=QX8I-WydpUd--Xjt\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Going beyond the individual car, the technology could also be central to smart cities, where everything runs together like clockwork. It could help manage whole traffic systems to improve flow and may also play a part in improving public safety through streamlined security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edge computing is already being used in some great ways, especially in making things run smoothly in the entertainment industry. It\u2019s set for incredible growth throughout the rest of the decade, and it will help push development in a wide range of industries. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edge computing has been around since the early days of the internet, but it\u2019s set for huge expansion over the next few years as its uses become more widespread.
