Telecom towers are taking on a new and unexpected role as a foundation for data center deployment. What were once passive radio access sites are increasingly being reconsidered as ready-made infrastructure assets, offering physical locations, connectivity, and often existing access to power. This creates a faster route to distributed compute, but introduces challenges around integration and operational responsibility. What comes next will determine whether towers can evolve into viable platforms for future distributed compute. In this session, we address:

• Speed and cost advantages of reusing existing tower assets
• Ownership and operational models between tower companies and data center providers
• Connectivity requirements for linking tower sites to core networks
• The long-term viability of telecom towers as Edge compute hubs
