A Study of Edge Computing and its Impact on Network Services in Nigeria

Abstract

Abstract: Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm where client data is processed as close as feasible to the source at the network's edge in the twenty first century, Due to the rapid growth in the amount of data exchanged globally especially in smart city applications like autonomous vehicles. In Nigeria a lot might have experienced a slight lag now and then when watching a sporting event live in Nigeria, It can be a little unpleasant when a player's video freezes right before he is about to shoot and then resumes to show him celebrating with his teammates and also most of the Nigerians pictures themself driving a self driving vehicle through a hill's winding curves. they most likely would feel much more than just dissatisfaction if the car turned away from a cliff's edge a second too slowly, They may feel a little on edge in each situation to varied degrees. However, both of these scenarios are possible due to a phenomenon known as "latency," which to that advancements in this area can hasten the economic progress of a country. In this case, this review article is focused on highlighting the study of edge computing and the key attributes of Edge computing that can be used to address emerging markets use cases, the impact, the crises of network service on businesses in Nigeria, and most recent trends on edge computing in the research field.
