The New Space Age: IBM Develops A Unique, Custom Edge Computing Solution In Space
The rate at which data is produced in today’s world is huge and it is due to the abundance of sensors, devices, and wireless networks. A paradigm shift to edge computing is required to deal with latency and bandwidth. Edge computing can take data processing nearer to where the data can be generated to obtain near-real-time results and get value from acting on the data fast. IBM’s vision for the International Space Station (ISS) can be considered as an edge computing location in orbit, where the data that is produced can be processed by imaging sensors and several other experiments
