As the first quarter of 2025 wraps up, more businesses are shifting away from relying solely on the cloud and turning to edge computing. In edge computing, data gets processed closer to where it’s created – rather than in faraway cloud servers – which helps reduce lag and improve security. Peer-to-peer (P2P) communication is often […]

The rise of smart technology has transformed the way devices communicate. But at the core of this transformation are IoT networks – communication systems that allow Internet of Things (IoT) devices to collect and exchange data. These networks can either facilitate device-to-device communication (aka peer-to-peer, or P2P) or they can establish lines of communication between […]
