Modern mobile applications are very complex and increasingly integrated with AI/ML and IoT technologies. Therefore, they require a lot of computing resources and storage capacity. However, mobile devices cannot have large storage capacities - they are too small and it would be too expensive.
The solution? Mobile cloud applications. These modern solutions can use cloud resources and storage remotely via the Internet. The advantages of cloud mobile applications are as follows:
economic efficiency;
reliability and high performance;
safety;
the ability to work with large volumes of data;
high computing power;
the possibility of using AI/ML and IoT technologies.
4. Mobile Edge Computing
Multi-access edge computing (MEC) is also known as mobile edge computing. MEC can be simply defined as the intersection where the mobile network (wireless edge) and the Internet (infrastructure edge) meet and carry traffic.
With the introduction of 5G networks, MEC applications will rapidly evolve and improve end-user experience. MEC can be applied in scenarios such as:
augmented, virtual and mixed reality applications;
gaming applications;
drone monitoring and detection;
real-timeanalytics.
5. Networking via 5G
5G networks are rapidly spreading across the globe. They enable mobile applications to work much better with advanced technologies such as AI/ML and IoT. The increased speed of 5G networks, which are 100 times faster than 4G networks, is also leading to a revolution in mobile cloud computing.
The 5G network has the following advantages:
high speed wireless communication;
real-time streaming data processing;
low latency;
increased bandwidth;
support for AI/ML, IoT and benin mobile database cloud applications.
6. AR/VR Mobile Applications
Augmented reality (AR) mobile applications are essentially the integration of digital visual components with real objects. On the other hand, virtual reality (VR) can be defined as an artificial world that appears real to end users.
The mobile app industry is increasingly focusing on AR/VR apps to enhance user experience. In the past, these technologies were mainly used for mobile game development. But now, AR/VR apps are being used for practical tasks such as:
architectural/interior design;
preparation of user manuals and recommendations;
navigation in software;
