Connectivity gaps hinder Edge AI adoption for infrastructure

Edge AI's potential is being hampered by connectivity limitations, particularly for infrastructure systems that require reliable, persistent communication rather than just high speeds. Traditional wireless networks, optimized for human use in indoor spaces, struggle to provide consistent coverage for outdoor or hard-to-reach devices like smart meters and perimeter cameras. The crowded 2.4 GHz band further exacerbates this issue, creating a bottleneck for the growing number of connected infrastructure devices that need dependable, low-power communication to enable real-time decision-making at the edge.
