Enterprise-Class 5G Wireless for Business
The Top 5 Things You Should Consider in Introducing 5G for Your Business
Many businesses are eager to get their hands on 5G broadband. And why shouldn’t they be?
5G will bring increased bandwidth and speeds that will help businesses grow their bottom line. With up to 100x the speed of 4G LTE, 5G promises to be nothing short of a revolution for many businesses and industry verticals.
At the same time, it’s important to acknowledge that obtaining 5G will be more complicated than plugging a 5G adapter into your existing modem.
You’ll require devices capable of handling all that bandwidth. You’ll also need software specifically designed to manage the traffic on your wireless platform.
Below, we list the top 5 things you should consider as you begin to make the transition to 5G.
1) You Need a Full Range of Cellular Technologies
We know it sounds ridiculous, but no one is going to flip a switch and turn 5G on one day. The rollout of 5G is occurring in phases. This means that 4G LTE, Gigabit-Class LTE, and 5G will all exist simultaneously.
Your enterprise-grade wireless broadband platform must be able to quickly deploy across your entire organization. You need one solution that captures all of the various cellular generations—not just 5G.
As a practical matter, you need to talk to an expert in 5G network deployment. If your business has complicated M2M and IoT connectivity needs, or if you operate at multiple locations, we can optimize your business’s connectivity.
2) You Need a Solution that Takes Advantage of the Entire 5G Spectrum
Network operators are deploying 5G across multiple bands in the spectrum. They’re using the low bands of sub-1GHz and the high bands of mmWave.
Using different spectrum frequencies to deliver 5G coverage makes sense. It gives network operators the flexibility they need to deliver faster broadband.
When you’re upgrading your business’s wireless platform, you need a solution for all three spectrum bands (low, mid, and high). You also need a solution that manages thousands of endpoints with a modern point-and-click interface.
3) You Need a Solution that Offers Lifecycle Management
There’s a world of difference between residential 5G coverage for households and what businesses will need.
With the coming of 5G, now is the time to ditch the patchwork of spotty coverage solutions that have been slowing down the speed of your business.
An enterprise-class wireless WAN platform should offer full lifecycle management capabilities that includes such features as a mobile installation application, “captive modem” capability, 5G analytics and other tools, and Out-of-Band Management for optimized operation.
4) You Need Carrier-Class Connectivity
As we said earlier, businesses will need to do more to obtain the high performance of 5G and the security and reliability of carrier-class connectivity than simply plugging a 5G adapter into modems.
Enterprise-class wireless platforms need to be built by experts who understand the importance of customizing your modems for each individual carrier's requirements.
They also need to deliver pre-programmed endpoints, and conduct multi-level integrity tests to determine if your network has any vulnerabilities.
5) You Need Intelligent Connectivity Solutions
The business continuity and SD-WAN solutions that modern enterprises have embraced demonstrate the value of having wireless broadband links. The emergence of 5G has only accelerated the possibilities of SD-WAN.
Your wireless WAN platform needs to deliver effortless wireless endpoint management in both a wired-first SD-WAN environment and all-on-one capabilities (routing, embedded wireless, and foundational SD-WAN) in all your wireless-first SD-WAN deployments.
