The 20th edition of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona will serve as a stage to assess strength not only in technological terms but also geopolitically. Europe, in particular, will showcase to the world its progress in satellite footprint, regulation, and terrestrial connectivity. On the latter, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, TIM, and Vodafone said this week that at the event they will demonstrate how they federated their Edge environments so applications can be deployed across all their regional networks. This required using components developed under the Important Project of Common European Interest: Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS), funded by the European Union (EU).
