The Telco Edge Opportunity: Diverse Approaches and Expectations
“Telefónica is currently trialling edge computing services that leverage AI to customers in several verticals, including automotive (with vehicle-to-everything communications), eHealth, manufacturing, transport, and logistics. Video analytics is a key area where the CSP is using AI to extract more information from streamed video to address specific use cases.

Telefónica is also developing and deploying uses cases to identify customer needs and determine other edge configurations to support multi-vertical AI applications”.
Enabling CSPs to Maximize AI at the Edge
"Telefonica is very strong in the global collaboration market, as it offers a broad portfolio combining service provider-hosted and vendor-hosted options with strong global reach and resilience. Telefonica’s strong presence in markets such as Spain, the UK, Germany, and Brazil helps it to differentiate versus other global competitors. The provider can also point to strong momentum in the UC market, with multiple large customer wins and an overall double-digit growth rate for 2019-2020. This momentum has only increased following the impact of COVID-19".
