Telefonica launches Edge computing network across Spain
Telefonica has started rolling out a nationwide edge computing network in Spain, using old copper exchanges as small data centres. The company plans to convert these legacy fixed network sites into edge nodes that bring cloud processing closer to users and businesses.
By reusing existing buildings and infrastructure, Telefonica aims to cut latency and support services that need faster, local data processing. The project is part of the operator’s broader shift away from copper networks toward fibre and cloud-based services, while trying to make use of assets that would otherwise sit idle.
