MEC in 5G stands for Multi-access Edge Computing, a technology that brings computation and storage resources closer to the user at the edge of the network. It aims to reduce latency, improve bandwidth utilization, and enhance the overall user experience by processing data locally instead of sending it back to a central server. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require real-time responses, such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, and live streaming.
