"MEC" and "Telco."
- MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing):
- Definition: Multi-access Edge Computing is a network architecture concept that involves processing data at the edge of the network, closer to the end-users or devices, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers.
- Technical Details:
- Edge Computing: MEC extends the capabilities of cloud computing to the edge of the network, allowing for faster data processing and reduced latency.
- Proximity: By placing computing resources closer to the point of data generation or consumption, MEC aims to reduce the time it takes for data to travel between devices and centralized data centers.
- Applications: MEC is particularly relevant for applications that require low latency, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
- Telco (Telecommunications):
- Definition: Telecommunications refer to the transmission of information over a distance, typically using electronic signals or electromagnetic waves.
- Technical Details:
- Network Infrastructure: Telecommunications networks include various components such as switches, routers, transmission lines, and communication satellites, forming the infrastructure for voice, data, and multimedia communication.
- Protocols: Telecommunication networks use various protocols for data transmission, including TCP/IP for the internet, GSM/CDMA for mobile communications, and PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) for landline telephony.
- Wireless and Wired: Telecommunications can be wired (e.g., fiber-optic cables) or wireless (e.g., radio waves, microwaves), and it encompasses a wide range of services, including voice calls, data transmission, video conferencing, and internet connectivity.
