EDGE

Communication Service Providers (CSP) need infrastructure that delivers more value with fewer resources. They require higher performance, reliable networking, straightforward deployment, and room to grow — all without replacing existing platforms. The Dell PowerEdge XR8720t meets these needs, offering a …

As satellite constellations reshape global connectivity, attention is shifting beyond internet access toward compute in orbit. The challenge now is understanding how space-based infrastructure will integrate with terrestrial networks to support resilient, distributed digital services. Satellite constellations are already transforming …

Connect (X) industry panel covers the transition to AI inferencing and infrastructure scaling The edge has been a conference talking point for the better part of a decade, but a panel at Connect (X) made a pretty convincing case that …

Theme of the week: edge computing and private networks for physical AI and AI inference in industrial and military zones. HPE has released a new AI server platform, ruggedized and optimized for difficult edge deployments; the release follows this week’s …

Most factory-floor ‘physical AI’ runs on lightweight (non-GPU) edge compute, reckons NTT Data – but 5G sensing, in the form of ISAC via SRS, could unlock a new wave of demand for private 5G, tying edge IoT and AI into …

T-Mobile US signed off another good quarter with some fighting talk about acquisition strategies and accounting habits at rivals AT&T and Verizon, and said its 5G network and compute build-out will be the best in the business to support enterprise …

Strong growth and raised guidance sit alongside major AI work at Verizon, about to be unveiled with a brand new AI tech stack to drive further network automation and customer (micro-) segmentation to cut costs, improve service, and drive “industrial-scale” …

AT&T is positioning private 5G as a necessary enterprise capability rather than a breakout revenue engine, tying its future instead to edge AI, spectrum pragmatism, and a broader “AI grid” vision with partners like Cisco and Nvidia. In sum – …

AT&T has clarified its emerging AI “grid” and IoT strategy, combining regional inference, cloud platforms, and private 5G to target enterprise use cases while testing where edge AI delivers most value. In sum – what to know: Regional edge – …

Final word on this fascinating Nokia narrative, this time from the independent analyst community – about how the Finnish firm is losing a little to Ericsson in its 5G heartlands, but also switching it up with clever short- and long-term …

Final word on this fascinating Nokia narrative, this time from the independent analyst community – about how the Finnish firm is losing a little to Ericsson in its 5G heartlands, but also switching it up with clever short- and long-term …

HPE reinforced the telco shift at MWC: the urgent mid-gen upgrade of fiber interconnect and longhaul networks for the AI era, plus the edge inference agenda just coming on-stream – as served by its PTX and MX portfolios, respectively, as …

Nvidia’s trillion-dollar AI infrastructure forecast set the tone at GTC yesterday, framing its AI-RAN partnerships with Nokia and T-Mobile (part of a $2tn industry) as a new frontier for low-latency inference at the edge. In sum – what to know: …

As AI workloads splinter across the fragmented cloud-infrastructure landspace, enterprises are scrambling to keep performance, governance, and costs in check. Equinix reckons the answer is in neutral interconnection hubs that simplify last-mile access, orchestrate distributed infrastructure, and bring inference closer …

Ericsson has new tie-ups with system integrators Future Technologies and NTT Data to combine private 5G and physical AI in Industry 4.0. Ericsson appears to be picking up where Nokia has dropped off; Future Technologies is growing 35% per year.  …

Global, porgrammable, and dense – from cloud to edge; Verizon Business talked at MWC about how its sees the new AI stack evolving for telcos, and why its investments in backbone fiber, metro access, and private network will link cloud …

While most of the big talk at MWC is about 5G and 6G, the most urgent AI infrastructure work is with fibre-heavy data centre interconnects. Cisco, and certain others, are capitalising on this east-west traffic surge, with mobile and edge …

Europe’s five biggest mobile operators – Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, TIM, and Vodafone Group – are building a pan-European “federated edge continuum”, stitching together their national edge assets into a single regional platform. But what is a federated edge – …

Europe’s digital sovereignty ambitions extend beyond cloud and data policy into the nuts and bolts of Industry 4.0 network orchestration. Through initiatives like IPCEI-CIS and 8RA, organisations including Adeptic Reply are building a federated cloud-edge continuum that can orchestrate multi-vendor, …

MNOs are moving beyond traditional circuit transport to offer managed overlays and consumption-based models. As the lines blur between MPLS, SD-WAN, MPN, and NaaS, the question for enterprises and MNOs is how these models fit together in a hybrid WAN …

Beyond high-profile global consumer and consumer-enterprise disruptions, the AWS and Vodafone outages this month show how Industry 4.0 can fail without proper cloud and network redundancy. Fallible cloud – even highly redundant hyperscalers like AWS can fail, revealing hidden single …

McDonald’s is digitizing operations with Google Cloud through AI, IoT, and cloud platforms, enhancing restaurant efficiency, streamlining corporate systems, and boosting customer engagement with loyalty rewards and reduced wait times. In sum – what to know: Restaurant platform – new …

NXP has acquired Port GmbH to integrate industrial protocol software into its processors – as the Dutch firm seeks to assert control over the most critical point in the industrial IoT value chain: the edge. In sum – what to …
