Q. Consider the following statements regarding Edge Computing:
1.It involves processing data closer to the source of data generation rather than relying solely on a centralized cloud-based data center.
2.By processing data locally, it significantly increases latency, making it unsuitable for real-time applications like autonomous vehicles.
3.It helps in reducing the volume of data that needs to be transmitted over the network to the central core.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

[A] 1 and 2 only

[B] 2 and 3 only

[C] 1 and 3 only

[D] 1, 2 and 3

Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation:

  • Statement 1 is correct: Edge computing moves compute to the edge of the network.
  • Statement 2 is incorrect: It decreases latency (delays) by avoiding the long trip to a central server, making it essential for real-time tech like self-driving cars.
  • Statement 3 is correct: It saves bandwidth by filtering or processing data at the source.
