As more companies require networks that can process data near its source, the transformative power of edge computing is already being realized. By deploying data centers and servers near the point of transmission—where people live and work—edge solutions make it easier for businesses to support customers and accommodate new technologies without increasing network congestion and latency.
If you’re thinking about getting started, download our Edge Essentials Kit to learn how edge solutions are transforming industries like yours. With an all-in-one partner like Crown Castle, you’ll have access to the experience, flexibility and resources you need to bring your edge vision to life.

Greater speed equals less latency. When data has less distance to travel, it gets there much quicker. Seconds become milliseconds, which means better response times for anything connected to your network.
When computing happens locally, less data is sent out over large cloud networks—reducing traffic and allowing more devices and data-intensive applications to function properly without slowing down everyday network use.
Reduce risk with decentralization. When networks are no longer reliant on large data hubs, the impact of a cyberattack is greatly reduced.
Get the capabilities of cloud computing with the benefits of a privately positioned data center. And since edge solutions provide their own data collection, there’s less need to invest heavily in data storage.
When data centers become a part of local infrastructure, additional location-specific data can be incorporated into applications operating on the edge. This will especially be critical for AI and machine-learning technologies, where every data point matters.
