Telefonica bolsters edge rollout in Spain
Telefonica is expanding its edge computing network in Spain, adding seven new nodes this year to the ten already running in cities including Barcelona, Madrid and Bilbao. The new sites sit inside the company’s existing telecom exchanges, which it is turning into small edge data centres built to higher security and uptime standards.
By processing and storing data closer to where it is generated, the operator aims to cut latency, keep more data within national and EU borders and support AI workloads without customers having to buy their own hardware. Telefonica plans to offer GPUs as a service, targeting businesses and public bodies that want to run digital and AI services while keeping infrastructure and data inside the European Union, in line with regional cloud-edge and sovereignty objectives.
