Microsoft’s annual Spanish holiday in Barcelona will include a revamped partnership agreement with Madrid-based telecom provider Telefonica, the companies plan to announce Monday at Mobile World Congress.
It’s not exactly a new HoloLens, but the partnership is an evolving part of Microsoft’s edge computing strategy, which aims to position the company’s cloud division for a future in which an increasing amount of application processing is done closer to the end user on networks such as Telefonica’s. Under the new agreement, Telefonica will expand its use of Azure Cognitive Services to customer service and supplier channels and work with Microsoft to develop connected home services based around Microsoft’s cloud.
