The convergence of the industrial and interconnect edge: strategies for infrastructure providers

The expansion of carrier-neutral data centres into regional locations has de-centralised interconnect and taken it to the metro edge. However, emerging edge use cases will require deeper interconnect at the industrial edge because they are distributed and mobile, and have requirements that cannot be met by centralised interconnect. This convergence presents new opportunities for operators and edge node builders.
