Within the telecommunications segment, access sites have the largest edge computing footprint, which accounted for 95 percent of the overall telecom edge footprint in 2019. Aggregation and central office sites, however, will have growing demand for edge IT power over the years. Overall, the IT power footprint for edge infrastructure deployed by communication network operators (CNOs) is expected to reach 16,938 megawatts (MW) by 2028.
According to the source, the edge footprint is measured by the aggregate IT power rating of the edge infrastructure equipment and the edge data center facilities that are deployed.
