Like the cloud, the edge is not only a physical location. As the industry has adopted the cloud, we are now beginning to embrace the edge. The telecom network services edge is the demarcation point between the end users of the telecom network and the telecom network itself. That demarcation point can take many forms, be in many different physical locations, and have different technical requirements depending on the services that are provided to end users and the workloads that are running on the network to deliver those services. Adding to the complexity of the edge, those requirements are expected to change and evolve as we identify new use cases for 5G. Telecom networks are adopting 5G architectures and using cloud and multicloud architectures to deliver services. However, the requirements of low-latency, high-speed 5G networks add complexity to service delivery because of the distributed nature of 5G and the edge itself.
