Many organizations would like to implement edge computing, but its future will be determined, at least in part, by the cost of its hardware and the development of appropriate software. At present, edge computing is very expensive to install, and only large businesses and corporations can afford these systems. Two factors restrict the use of […]
Integrating Edge AI
Integrating edge artificial intelligence (AI) is not a simple process. Early forms of artificial intelligence relied on the computer power of data centers to perform their processor-demanding tasks. After some time, AI shifted into software, using predictive algorithms that changed how these systems support businesses. AI has now moved to the outer edges of networks. […]
A Brief History of the Internet of Things
Simply stated, the Internet of Things consists of any device with an on/off switch that is connected to the Internet. The Internet of Things (IoT) involves machines communicating information over the internet, and has not been around for very long. Machines have been providing direct communications since the telegraph (the first landline) was developed in […]
