What is Edge?

Everywhere

Universal Demand for Edge Solutions

From regional Australia to downtown Jakarta, the world is moving further and further into an increasingly digital age. But, outside of the heart of communications networks, digital inequality is skyrocketing.

Hyperscale data centres focused in one or two cities leave the rest of their regions underserved; in rural areas, unreliable and incomplete coverage harms businesses and public safety; and those trapped on the wrong side of the digital divide are left farther behind every day.

The Edge is not in competition with hyperscalers; the Edge creates a seamless, low-latency bridge between the hyperscale cloud at the heart of the network and the end users. Hyperscale complements the Edge. Together, we create an ecosystem that feeds hyperscale (and non-hyperscale) customers back into the hyperscale network core.

The Edge brings connectivity where it’s needed, reduces strain on the network, and creates a seamless bridge between the end user and the heart of the modern cloud.

The Edge is Like Water

The Edge has as many forms as there are problems to solve, and it flows to fill the spaces where it’s needed. The Edge is a way to solve problems, no matter where you are, no matter what you need.

Growing Fast

The Foundation of a Data-Driven Future

The number of connected devices worldwide is set to more than double in the next five years. Advances in artificial intelligence, automation, 5G adoption, and big data analytics all point to one thing: the future is built on data.

Our hub and spoke networks are already struggling to handle the process of backhauling and transmitting data to and from the hyperscale cores of our networks today, and the problem is only going to get worse. If a truly data-driven future is going to become a reality, that future needs to be built right now at the network edge.
