Latentsusnõuded

Latentsusnõuded refers to the latency requirements in Estonian technology and telecommunications contexts. Latency, in this sense, denotes the delay between a cause and its effect, or more specifically, the time it takes for data to travel from its source to its destination. High latency can negatively impact user experience, particularly in real-time applications.

These requirements are crucial for various sectors. For example, in online gaming, low latency is essential for smooth gameplay and responsiveness. In financial trading, milliseconds of delay can translate into significant financial losses or gains. The development of technologies like 5G mobile networks is partly driven by the need to meet increasingly stringent latency requirements for applications such as autonomous driving, remote surgery, and industrial automation.

Defining and measuring latentsusnõuded involves setting specific targets for maximum acceptable delay. These targets can vary greatly depending on the application and its criticality. For some services, a few milliseconds of latency might be considered acceptable, while for others, even microseconds can be a limiting factor. Standards and regulations in Estonia, mirroring international trends, often address these latency aspects to ensure service quality and promote technological advancement. Meeting these requirements involves optimizing network infrastructure, hardware, and software.
