Keywords:
5G, Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, scalability, network efficiency, latency reductionAbstract
The advent of 5G telecommunication networks has revolutionized the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape by significantly enhancing device connectivity and data transmission speeds. This paper examines the impact of 5G on IoT scalability and the efficiency of edge computing. Through a comprehensive literature review, we explore how 5G's features—such as reduced latency, increased bandwidth, and improved reliability—facilitate the expansion of IoT ecosystems and bolster edge computing capabilities. The analysis highlights the synergistic relationship between 5G and edge computing, addressing current challenges and proposing future research directions to optimize this integration
