Inferencing and the Rise of the Edge Sponsorship
At NextGenInfra.io, a collaboration between ConvergeDigest and AvidThink, our mission is to provide incisive, practitioner-grade analysis of the infrastructure powering the next era of connectivity and AI.
This special research series launching in Q3/Q4 2026 examines the evolution of the Edge and Distributed Cloud — from AI inferencing at the network edge to Physical AI, AI-RAN, and the race to monetize 5G SA infrastructure.
The edge is being reborn; less around latency as a product like the early MEC efforts, but around AI as a workload. CSPs, hyperscalers, CDNs, silicon vendors, and orchestration platforms are all repositioning for what comes next. If your company is shaping this transformation, our audience wants to hear from you.
📡 The Infrastructure Stack and Business Model of the Next-Gen Edge
- The Edge Reborn: From MEC hype to AI-first distributed infrastructure — what is changing and why it matters now
- Hyperscaler Retrenchment & the Rise of Private Edge: Why AWS Wavelength and other Edge efforts retreated — and who might fill the void
- Hyperscaler, CDNs, Telcos and MoreWhat are the category strengths of each potential edge player? What about blind spots and weaknesses?
- AI-RAN & Physical AI: NVIDIA's role in reshaping the radio stack, and why CSPs are racing to become the "physical execution layer" for AI
- Inference Economics at the Edge: The business case for edge inference — who captures the margin and who becomes a commodity provider
- Network APIs & Edge Monetization:Do Network APIs intersect with the Edge? If so, how?
- Enterprise Edge Workloads: AI vision inference, private 5G, industrial OT, drones, and autonomous systems on the factory floor
- Orchestration & Sovereignty:Kubernetes-native platforms, intelligent routing decisions, data sovereignty, and the federation-vs-fragmentation tension
- The Road to 6G & Agentic AI: What role could the edge play in 6G and what CSP architectural bets make sense?
