Abstract-Edge computing represents a shift from traditional centralized data processing to a distributed architecture, allowing for data processing at the network edge, closer to the devices and sensors generating the data. This approach offers reduced latency, improved scalability, and enhanced security. Edge computing is a strategic opportunity for telcos. Its most significant advantage in telecom is the drastic reduction in latency. Adopting edge computing is a high priority for many telecommunications service providers as they modernize their networks. The integration of edge computing into telecom networks represents a paradigm shift that promises to revolutionize the way we connect, communicate, and collaborate in the digital age. Edge computing is poised to shape the future of telecommunications and usher in a new era of connectivity and innovation. In this paper, we explore the evolution and applications of edge computing in the telecommunications industry.
