Master of The secret layers of our digital sky
007skaty Edge Computing and Smart Devices
No long trip to the cloud, we process data right where we stand.
007skaty Smart devices run local computation to secure personal data and maintain essential household functions during network outages.
007skaty Connect town nodes to learn how data flows through the three layered digital sky.
Speed of light lag: Sending data from Tokyo to Virginia and back takes 150 milliseconds, which is too slow for self-driving cars.
A distributed computing architecture that processes data near its source rather than in a centralized server. In this architecture, local microcontrollers process raw sensor data immediately to prevent network congestion at higher altitudes.
Approximately how long does it take for a data packet to travel from Tokyo to Virginia and back?
Compared to local microchip processing, how much more battery power does wireless data transmission drain?
007skaty Local smart devices process digital information directly at the network edge.
How much data is projected to be processed outside traditional data centers by 2026?
At 60 miles per hour, how far does a self-driving car travel during a 150-millisecond network delay?
