How to build and operate at the edge
Edge computing is an evolution of public cloud that is happening regardless of how, where, when or whether communications service providers (CSPs) find a place in the value chain. The telecoms industry has an important role to play in edge computing because CSPs provide the connectivity that edge computing requires. The powerful combination of 5G connectivity and edge computing can unlock new latency-sensitive consumer and B2B services, such as gaming and telemedicine. Operators also own passive infrastructure such as telephone exchanges that could be suitable for housing edge computing equipment in some cases. Our research for this report includes interviews with more than 20 CSPs, public cloud providers, technology vendors and startups in the edge computing ecosystem plus an online survey of 55 CSPs from North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the AsiaPacific region, about 65% of them mobile operators. Nearly half of CSP respondents were from Europe and North America where edge activity is greatest. Read this report to understand:
