The main categories are device edge, where processing happens on the endpoint itself; on-premises edge, where dedicated compute sits in a customer location; metro edge, where regional micro data centers serve a city or area; and network edge, where compute sits at telecom infrastructure like 5G base stations. Each serves different latency and scale profiles, and most enterprise architectures use more than one. Understanding the differences is essential to making the right placement decisions.
