5G will enhance the power and capacity of mobile networks to better support an end-to-end environment designed to enable our fully mobile and connected society. Data and compute requests that once traveled back and forth from the core for execution can now beprocessed and executed at the edge of the mobile network. 5G’s high speed, low latency features also mean “always on” business models can be implemented without geographic limitations – far from enterprise data centers or cloud platforms. The “flat” packet-based architecture of 5G potentially increase a mobile infrastructures exposure to cyberattacks. This will drive the demand for embedding security features and functions directly into the edge as well, far beyond its typical state of being bolted on”]
