Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) made a major move to boost its fledgling edge compute service, striking a fresh deal with T-Mobile US that will allow it to tap the operator's 5G network to reach more enterprise customers.

David Shacochis, Lumen VP of Enterprise Technology and Field CTO, told Fierce the partnership aims to leverage "the best of what both companies have to offer," combining its own business-grade fiber and edge computing capabilities with "the massive geographic and spectrum reach of T-Mobile."
