    Question

    Which of the following best exemplifies a critical

    advantage of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) over traditional cloud computing?
    A Reduced hardware costs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Increased data redundancy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Enhanced data processing speed through proximity to end-users Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Better integration with legacy systems Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Greater reliance on centralized data centers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) brings data processing and storage closer to the network’s edge, significantly reducing latency. By processing data near end-users, MEC enables real-time applications, such as augmented reality, autonomous driving, and industrial IoT, to function efficiently. This proximity reduces the need for data transmission to distant centralized cloud servers, cutting down on delays and bandwidth usage. MEC’s decentralized approach aligns with the increasing demand for low-latency, high-performance applications in mobile computing. Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

    • A) While MEC may reduce latency, it does not inherently lower hardware costs compared to traditional setups.
    • B) MEC prioritizes speed and efficiency, not redundancy, which is more characteristic of cloud-based systems.
    • D) MEC is forward-focused and does not necessarily improve integration with older legacy systems.
    • E) MEC reduces reliance on centralized data centers by distributing computing resources to the network edge.
