5ms is the crucial number for IT leaders

96% of U.S. IT decision makers say they would be more likely to move critical workloads to the edge if their edge network could cover 95% of the U.S. within 5 milliseconds.1 Lumen® Edge Computing Solutions are part of an ecosystem including edge nodes designed for 5ms of latency or better.
