Low Latency: What is the Need and How Does Edge Computing Play a Role?

CSPs are making significant investments into the edge opportunity and reducing network latency is a key driving factor behind this. But what is the demand for low latency from enterprises, and how low is “low”? Spirent teamed with STL Partners to interview more than 150 end users on app deployment plans and anticipated network requirements. This infographic examines the background behind these key findings:

• The majority of enterprises’ latency needs can be met today
• As they continue to transform and adopt more advanced use cases, latency requirements will become more stringent
• New use cases (such as V2X) will require ultra-low latency, which edge computing will play a key role in delivering
