AT&T Chief Technology Officer Jeremy Legg pointed out that the operator has currently up and running 10 such edge areas across the United States and plans to add at least two such "localized 5G network capabilities" by the end of this year. These edge areas near connection points that offer quick access to cloud provider data centers are powered by AT&T's regional 5G SA network core. Its independent network core and software-defined networking capabilities will be located in the network data center near cross-connected facilities that enable fast network connectivity with nearby cloud facilities operated by hyperscale cloud providers.

The operator uses the Equinix cross-connect facility to connect AT&T's data center to nearby cloud computing services, which come from hyperscale cloud computing companies such as Azure, AWS and GCP. AT&T is also building its own edge areas to meet specific project needs and further expanding the coverage of its SA core.
