Edge computing startup EDJX and telecommunications carrier 6×7 Networks recently announced a partnership to add 6×7 Networks locations for use by developers. EDJX has one issued patent in the edge computing space and 6×7 Networks currently has none, although this may signal a shift towards greater investment in the space.

In November, EDJX announced a public beta of the EDJX Serverless Edge, which allows developers to write, test, and deploy IOT and mobile edge applications. 6×7 Networks has over 500 Points-of-Presence and over 100,000 edge locations worldwide, meaning this partnership will help make EDJX Serverless Edge one of the most expansive networks available for developers. The partnership further increases 6×7 Networks’ capabilities on the edge as well, including computing and distributed ledger opportunities.
