Key Features

  • Interoperable – Seamlessly and quickly translate protocols so new and legacy equipment can communicate with each other
  • Fast – Because data processing happens locally, speed increases as latency and bandwidth bottlenecks become non-issues.
  • Reliable – Because edge processing operates in conditions with intermittent or limited connectivity, operations can continue without the worry of data loss.
  • Cost-effective – With more processing done at the edge, organizations can save significant bandwidth and cloud server resources.
  • Robust – Support real-time decision making without concern non-local processes will expose mission-critical data to unreliable connections.
