Forum Markets, Edge Node AI Form Joint Venture to Deploy AI Compute Across U.S.
The partnership targets roughly 11 MW of energized AI inference capacity at data sites and mobile towers, with 2027 revenue guidance of $125M–$175M.
Forum Markets has announced a joint venture with Edge Node AI to deploy inference artificial intelligence compute infrastructure at existing powered data centers and mobile communications towers across the United States, the companies said.
