Living on the Edge

I have been writing this blog for more than a decade. Over that time, I found I was doing enough work specifically on mobility and wireless to add Spectrum Matters and Spectrum Futures, looking at mobility/wireless on the former site, and spectrum issues on the latter site. 

With the emergence of 5G, it seems clear enough to me that other topics, including core network virtualization, ultra-low latency use cases and edge computing are going to be intertwined. 




In that regard, I am adding a new site dealing with "infrastructure edge" computing, defined as edge computing capabilities operated by connectivity providers. The reason is that enterprise use cases and revenues enabled by infrastructure edge computing are ultimately going to emerge as the key new revenue opportunity 5G enables. 

While 5G is quite useful for consumer mobility (representing the next platform to boost bandwidth and download speeds), I do not see big new industry revenue opportunities emerging from 5G in the consumer arena. 


Most of that will come from use cases related broadly to internet of things, and most of that will come from the enterprise applications. From a connectivity provider perspective, it seems obvious enough that much of the important new industry revenue upside comes from roles as suppliers of the edge computing functions. 


So Living on the Edge is where you will find content on infrastructure edge computing (edge computing capabilities supplied by mobile and fixed service providers).
