Now more than ever, the need for gigabit capable internet access is imperative to both our business and personal lives. As deployments of IoT, 5G, AI and analytics applications become more frequent, businesses will require IT infrastructure that supports higher speeds and increased reliability to keep pace with the digital transformation. Bringing fiber and 5G to a town puts them in the fast lane, changing the way a community does business and elevating their economic landscape. However, smaller cities often don’t have the fiber & IT infrastructure needed to help them make this transformation. EdgePresence & Schneider Electric joined forces to help level the connectivity playing field for Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities by designing and deploying highly secure multitenant Edge Data Centers to serve all use cases within a city. Together they share how their creative business partnership delivered fast, repeatable, and highly resilient, efficient edge data centers and helping to bridge the nation’s digital divide. This joint presentation will explore how their unique partnership has developed unmanned, modular data centers at the edge to give customers in various markets across the U.S. the network access and connectivity they need.
