It typically takes 150 to 200 milliseconds for data to travel from where it’s generated to a cloud provider and back, says Don Duet, president and chief operating officer of Vapor IO, a startup working with mobile infrastructure providers to build and deploy edge servers at cell towers...Placing servers or gateways closer to devices could shorten that time to 2 to 5 milliseconds, significantly improving performance for critical applications in areas such as health care, connected cars and smart cities, he said.

Talks are turning to action has industry leaders set eyes on designing, implementing and regulating edge architectures for connected and driverless cars.Some of the world’s largest automakers and technology companies have come together to jointly launch the Automotive Edge Computing Consortium to develop the future ecosystem for connected cars.
Companies making part of the inaugural list of members include DENSO Corporation, Ericsson, Intel Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), NTT DOCOMO, INC., Toyota InfoTechnology Center Co., Ltd. and Toyota Motor Corporation.
In the coming months, the members will initiate activities to “invite relevant global technology leaders and expand the consortium”.
The consortium will work to generate new ideas and IT architectures to support emerging services such as intelligent driving, the creation of maps with real-time data and driving assistance based on cloud computing set to help revolutionise the car industry.
The consortium will focus on increasing network capacity to accommodate automotive big data in a reasonable fashion between vehicles and the cloud by means of edge computing and more efficient network design.
It will try to help define requirements and develop use cases for emerging mobile devices with a particular focus on the automotive industry, bringing them to standards bodies, industry consortiums and solution providers.
The consortium will also encourage the development of best practices for the distributed and layered computing approach recommended by the members.
The Automotive Edge Computing Consortium has been created at a time when it is estimated that the data volume between vehicles and the cloud will reach 10 exabytes per month around 2025, approximately 10,000 times larger than the present volume.
“This expected increase will trigger the need for new architectures of network and computing infrastructure to support distributed resources and topology-aware storage capacity,” members of the consortium said in a statement.
“The architectures will be compliant with applicable standards, which requires collaboration on a local and global scale.”
