The Evolution of Network Latency in 5G and IoT Ecosystems

Network latency, defined as the time delay between a data packet's transmission and reception, has emerged as the critical performance metric in modern electronic systems. While 4G networks achieved average latencies of 50ms, 5G Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) specifications mandate sub-1ms delays - a 50x improvement enabling revolutionary applications from tactile internet to autonomous systems.

How Edge Computing is Redefining the Future of IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) generates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily, yet traditional cloud computing struggles with latency and bandwidth. Edge computing—processing data locally at its source—is emerging as the solution. This article explores its technical architecture, real-world applications, and challenges.
