What is Fiber to the Edge (FTTE)? | Corning

FTTE is an architecture for LANs that uses optical fiber to bring data to the edge of the network where the network interfaces via ports or wirelessly through cellular or Wi-Fi with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, like cell phones, laptops, security cameras, machine-to-machine controls, building management systems, automated guided vehicles, etc. and the applications that support them.
FTTE is ideal for businesses that need high capacity and flexibility in their network. Optical fiber delivers the high bandwidth, low latency, reach, and flexibility required to meet the demands of developing applications, like next-gen Wi-Fi, high-availability A/V, and 5G within a single building or across a large campus.

Edge computing spending set to skyrocket as AI takes hold

New figures from IDC have predicted a potentially colossal growth in edge computing spend over the coming years in light of increasing AI adoption. Edge computing is quickly emerging as an important element in an evolving technological landscape, and the integration of AI applications into edge infrastructure is said to be the primary driver behind the projected growth. IDC’s projections suggest that edge computing spending could reach $350 billion by 2027, surpassing earlier estimates.
