Edge computing and IoT standardization unlock resilience and adoption across sectors

Murray argues that distributed edge computing—not centralized cloud infrastructure—is essential for real-time emergency response and critical infrastructure protection in vulnerable communities. He further contends that federal standardization of IoT devices, particularly in healthcare, is the prerequisite condition for accelerating technology adoption across the entire U.S. economy.
