Future networks should provide access to cloud-based content to subscribers in mountainous region. This research proposes a network architecture incorporating mountain data centers that provide content access via caching in a capital-constrained context. It also discusses the aspects of the power system supporting the network architecture. The use of content caching reduces content access latency. The research recognizes that mountains can host computing platforms while ensuring low to moderate operational costs. Using the proposed approach also reduces the number of network hops and associated power consumption by (26–37)% and (17–25)% on average, respectively.
