How Much "Edge Revenue" Will Telcos Get?

By 2022, IDC predicts that 60 percent of all Asia/Pacific network resources will be deployed at remote edge or service provider locations, up from 20 percent in 2020.


The issue for many connectivity service providers is how much of that edge activity will occur at the “telco edge,” implying some amount of revenue generation from edge computing.

As IDC outlines the various “network edges,” telcos might not have direct roles for industrial edge or enterprise edge applications, which might be driven by enterprise-owned private networks. 


there are temporary “tactical edges” deployed to support disaster recovery, as well as “device” edges that might have direct or indirect revenue for connectivity providers. 


IDC also predicts that, globally, by 2023, over 50 percent of new enterprise IT infrastructure deployed will be at the edge rather than corporate data centers, up from less than 10 percent today.
