‘Edge Computing: Telco Positioning Strategies and Monetization Opportunities in Europe,’ a new Telecom Insider Report by the publisher, provides an executive-level overview of the emerging edge computing market in Europe. It delivers quantitative and qualitative insights into the edge computing market, analyzing key trends and growth drivers in the region.

'Edge computing enables new use cases with low-latency, real-time data processing, cost savings, and privacy and security. The emerging market presents opportunities for telecom operators to monetize edge computing solutions. Telecom operators provide the connectivity for the edge computing network, and can leverage their distributed infrastructure network footprint (e.g. base stations, switching facilities, and other access locations) to deploy edge computing capabilities in distributed edge locations. Edge computing helps telcos support new use cases, optimize workloads, and enhance support for real-time, low-latency applications over their 4G, 5G, and fiber networks.

Telecom operators in Europe are partnering with telcos, deploying multi-access edge services, creating independent edge computing companies and divisions, and deploying edge services alongside 4G/5G private networks.

It provides an in-depth analysis of the following -
  • Section 1: Edge Computing - Context and Definitions: This section defines edge computing, highlights the market drivers, and key players. This sections also discusses the global edge computing market opportunity and vertical market opportunities.
