MEC Edge Computing is designed to provide low-latency and high-bandwidth connectivity to devices at the edge of the network, reduce the load on core networks by offloading certain tasks to the edge, and improve the security of data and applications by keeping them closer to the edge.

MEC Edge Computing can provide reduced latency, increased bandwidth, and improved security, but it does not typically reduce cost.

Edge deployment refers to the deployment of MEC Edge Computing infrastructure at the edge of the network, closer to end users and devices.

MEC Edge Computing is typically used for applications that require low latency and high bandwidth, such as AR/VR, self-driving cars, and smart cities. Cloud gaming, on the other hand, is typically not latency-sensitive and can be served from traditional cloud data centers.
