American Tower and Crown Castle exploring colocation of edge computing appliances at cell tower sites
Wireless infrastructure provider Crown Castle has some 40,000 cell towers in the U.S., with more than 70% in major markets, and American Tower has more than 45,000 domestic tower sites. With that kind of real estate reach, not to mention ready access to power and backhaul, it’s clear why both companies are looking for new opportunities related to edge computing.
