While a single device producing data can transmit it across a network quite easily, problems arise when the number of devices transmitting data at the same time grows
Not only will quality suffer due to latency, but the costs in bandwidth can be tremendous.
Edge-computing hardware and services help solve this problem by being a local source of processing and storage for many of these systems. An edge gateway, for example, can process data from an edge device, and then send only the relevant data back through the cloud, reducing bandwidth needs. Or it can send data back to the edge device in the case of real-time application needs.
These edge devices can include many different things
Edge gateways themselves are considered edge devices within an edge-computing infrastructure.
