5G networks take heavy bet on the future of edge computing.

5G's secret weapon against other wireless technologies is reliable ultra low latency (up to 1 ms, at a low failure rate). It's enough for network automation in factories and factory robotics.

For customer applications it would make a sense to but graphics processors that can do VR, AR, games and machine learning inference very close to customers. It's and more practical for mobile users cheaper to get computing power as service than carry it around.
