It's time to rethink edge computing based on its fundamentals, the movement and storage of real-world data. The application of data as codewords technology transforms edge computing, ensuring data efficiency and security for even short messages without increasing latency.

Atombeam supports the popular Docker container format for its Neurpac Storage & Retrieval reader functionality, which makes the reader compatible with any orchestration and hosting environment that's Docker-compatible, including Kubernetes. Specialized support for public cloud hosting, starting with Amazon's AWS, will be announced starting late in 1H24. Any mix of hosting options can be supported for edge applications, and any number of reader processes can be used where the message data must be analyzed. Because of the low latency associated with coding and reading, this approach is ideal where there is a strict latency budget associated with the application. IoT control-loop processing is a good example of the type of application where violating latency constraints can have major real-world consequences, and Atombeam ensures that data transmission, storage, and security constraints are met without compromising latency management.

A reader component can be combined with a coder if intermediate processing can alter data. In this case, the altered data is redcoded and downstream users would use that codebook instead of the original. Of course, any edge application can generate a new message for coding as well. The codeword approach is highly efficient for lot and telemetry events, but also for other short messages, even text and many transactions and responses.
