14. An Internet of Things (IoT) edge gateway device information handling system executing an IoT edge gateway device location optimization and carbon dioxide (CO2) minimization system comprising:
a network interface device of a first IoT edge gateway device information handling system operating at a current location to receive operational telemetry measurements from a plurality of Access Point (AP) IoT servers transceiving IoT data with the first IoT edge gateway device information handling system within an enterprise wide area network (WAN) indicating operation generates a current CO2 emissions value to be above a CO2 increase threshold value, where the operational telemetry measurements include power consumption analytics, IoT data rates, and AP IoT server geographic locations for the plurality of AP IoT servers, wherein the plurality of AP IoT servers serve NB-IoT wireless neighborhoods located at a plurality of enterprise facilities connected via the enterprise WAN administered by an enterprise to transfer IoT data;
a hardware processor executing code instructions of the IoT edge gateway device location optimization and CO2 minimization system to determine a first estimated CO2 emissions level for the enterprise WAN for moving the first IoT edge gateway device operating at the current location to a first optimal geographic location at a WAN hardware site location to reduce total CO2 emissions during IoT data transfer between the plurality of AP IoT servers and the first IoT edge gateway device in the enterprise WAN;
the hardware processor executing code instructions to determine a second estimated CO2 emissions level for the enterprise WAN for adding a second IoT edge gateway device operating at a second optimal geographic location to reduce total CO2 emissions during IoT data transfer in the enterprise WAN; and
transmitting an instruction, via the network interface device, to a user of the first IoT edge gateway device information handling system to physically move the first IoT edge gateway device information handling system to the first optimal geographic location if the first estimated CO2 emissions level is less than the second estimated CO2 emissions level.
