EDGE
2.75G network standard
The core meaning of edge is a boundary line that marks the end of something: We sat on the edge of the cliff and watched the sunset.
From this comes the idea of edge being a boundary between two abstract things, like an edge between dreams and reality.
The edge of a tool is the part that cuts.
If something has an edge, it is sharp and dangerous.
If an edge is figurative, it is an advantage: Getting to the site early gave us an edge over our competitors.
If you edge something, you provide it with an edge.
