The past year was a time of rapid change for government technology. While bolstering information technology infrastructure that could sustain remote work was a major priority, there's also been an ongoing revolution at the more remote network edge. By bringing computational data storage and connectivity resources closer to where it's being gathered, edge computing saves bandwidth and accelerates response times. The approach has been around since the 1990s but has gained traction in recent years thanks to advances in data processing and computing and emerging technologies such as virtual reality and 5G.
