An edge device may obtain, via a base station, one or more respective requests from one or more user devices to access content. The edge device may determine a total number of the one or more user devices and may determine that the total number of the one or more user devices satisfies a threshold. The edge device may determine, based on the total number of the one or more user devices satisfying the threshold, a latency requirement associated with the content and may determine whether the edge device can satisfy the latency requirement. The edge device may selectively cause, based on determining whether the edge device can satisfy the latency requirement, the edge device or a different edge device to send the content to the one or more user devices via the base station.
