“China’s Three-Body Computing Constellation marks a radical evolution in edge computing — demonstrating a ‘hyper-edge’ model: autonomous, localized processing under extreme latency and bandwidth constraints,” explained Deepti Sekhri, practice director at Everest Group. “This leap forces enterprise edge strategies to move beyond basic edge nodes toward resilient, AI-infused micro-infrastructures. We can expect the biggest impact in industries like manufacturing, defense, and logistics, where decisions must happen instantly and locally.”
Traditional satellites face a significant data transmission bottleneck, with a significant amount of data loss during transmission to Earth due to bandwidth constraints. This parallels challenges many enterprises encounter in remote operations with bandwidth-intensive applications.
“We are now entering a post-centralisation era — where compute is pulled toward the edge not by ideology, but by necessity,” noted Gogia. “Whether it’s orbital satellites, smart grids, or in-field robotics, AI workloads are becoming heavier, more inference-driven, and intolerant to network-induced drag. Centralised clouds won’t disappear — but for many classes of applications, they will no longer be the first stop.”
