Edge and 5G in Spain and Europe State of Play

and Future Trends

Discover How Edge Computing and 5G Are Transforming Digital Services in Europe

This white paper dives into how edge computing and 5G/5G-Advanced work together to deliver low-latency, secure, and energy-efficient services. Based on desk research and interviews with experts across Europe, it maps the cloud–edge continuum, private 5G capabilities, and key operational enablers such as automation, observability, security, and energy monitoring.

With a detailed look at Spain, it highlights real-world pilots in manufacturing, transport, healthcare, and logistics, and examines challenges around interoperability, portability, skills, and energy efficiency. You’ll also find practical outputs like a capability map for 5G edge, recommendations for stakeholders, a 36-month roadmap, and KPI frameworks for scaling operations safely and efficiently.

Dive into the full white paper to see the detailed findings, practical guidance, and roadmap for edge and 5G adoption in Europe.
