Role of Massive MIMO and Edge Computing in 5G

The rise of 5G has been driven by the demand for faster, more reliable, and flexible network services. Two critical technologies enabling this transformation are Massive MIMO and Edge Computing. While Massive MIMO significantly boosts the capacity and coverage of 5G networks, Edge Computing brings real-time data processing closer to end users, reducing latency and improving performance. Together, these technologies are transforming telecom networks and are instrumental in shaping Private Mobile Edge Computing (PMEC) networks. This whitepaper examines how these innovations work, their impact on telecoms and PMEC environments, and what challenges lie ahead.
