Network edge data centre forecast: Building the base

£4,000.00 excl VAT

Our latest iteration of the Network edge data centre forecast points to slow, but steady, growth in worldwide network edge capacity, as operators prioritise monetising existing sites rather than building new capacity. However, the deployment landscape is set to accelerate as government funding and 5G SA deployment unlock greater network edge capacity. The role of the network edge in the AI era remains less defined and it will take some time before AI becomes a key driver of deployment.
