AI workloads are redefining the edge from a network endpoint to a distributed compute platform. Service providers like Verizon are exploring how to deploy infrastructure at thousands of locations to support AI inference, localized data processing, and low-latency enterprise services. Cisco Unified Edge, managed via Cisco Intersight, enables automated provisioning, fleet-level lifecycle management, and centralized monitoring across highly distributed footprints. The opportunity for service providers is to bundle edge compute capabilities into connectivity offerings, positioning themselves as end-to-end AI service delivery partners.
