On the other hadn cloud gained popularity as it allowed devices to connect over long distances. But the networks linked to cloud were centralized which made them poorly suited for IoT deployment. Edge computing pushed the core processing functions to the edge of the networks where most users actually access digital services. This allows devices to respond faster than they normally would.
