    To many, edge computing is about endpoints, but to smart cities, it is all about compute power at every street corner. The lack of decentralized compute power has been the death stroke for many projects, but EDJX and the Autonomy Institute have teamed to launch the Public Infrastructure Network Node to create an edge infrastructure for smart cities.

  • By Rich Karpinski May 26 2021 | Market Insight

    Even with continued pandemic uncertainty, IoT budgets and spending are holding up well. We expected many companies to change IoT spending plans in 2020, and that was indeed the case. Surprisingly, though, more enterprises increased spending over planned budgets in 2020 than decreased it. Growing focus on IoT as a critical component of digital transformation and the need to deploy additional infrastructure to support those efforts are major drivers of spending.
