ITPEC IP October 2025 Question 34
ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 34 of 100
Edge computing processes data close to the IoT devices that produce it — doing work near the network edge reduces the amount sent to a central server and can shorten response time.
For example, a gateway beside factory sensors can filter or analyze readings locally and forward only necessary results. This reduces server and communication load as the number of devices grows.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) describes blockchain, where hash-linked records make tampering difficult
- (c) describes cloud computing, which centralizes shared resources in data centers
- (d) describes machine learning, which derives rules or knowledge from data
Key rule: Edge means computation near the data source; cloud means centralized remote computation.
