I've seen people debating what an 'edge' even means, and wanted to chime in. Note that 'edge' is poorly defined in the industry right now. Consider the following • Remote Region Datacenter — It's certainly not this • Local Region Datacenter — It's not this • Local Municipality/County Datacenter/Co-lo/Central Office — Could it be this? • Local mini-datacenters attached to mobile towers or fiber digital loop carriers? — Could it also be this? • On-prem Datacenter — It's not this either A lot of people argue that an 'edge' has to be in the field — like a local mobile tower or a digital loop carrier. I'd argue that it could also be at a nearby co-lo facility or CO. Basically anything ≤300 km should be ≤1 ms latency. Within 75-100 km you're talking 0.25-0.33 ms latencies. And for most applications these days that seems "real-time" enough. YMMV.
