Mobile edge computing (now called multi-access computing, but we’ll get to that later) is all about putting computing power as close to the end user as possible. Basically, the concept of mobile edge computing is getting data processed in near real time by doing it close to where the data is captured, to begin with. When defining mobile edge computing, it helps to think about the difference between mobile edge computing and edge computing.

Mobile edge computing (MEC) takes this principle of edge computing and pushes it out even further to the very edge of the edge, even closer to end users.

Mobile edge computing encompasses mobile devices, applications, and all the data that your mobile devices produce and consume.
