5G Branch Office

Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted thousands of companies worldwide to shift from an office-based business model to a remote work from home model. Analysts predict that remote work is here to stay, even after the corona virus threat dissipates, since many companies have established work from home capabilities and workflows which didn’t exist before. Fortunately, internet service providers and wireless carriers have started to offer much-anticipated 5G services. This couldn’t come at a better time, as our dependence upon the internet and our bandwidth usage has literally never been greater. So let’s take a look at the COVID-19 work from home trend and the 5G impact on business and beyond.

Challenge

Helping employees work from home is more important but challenging than ever. Sometimes sending mission-critical workers home with a laptop, printer, and teleconferencing app isn’t enough especially if they’re using a wired router. What they need is a reliable, high-bandwidth, secure, and easy-to-deploy solution. Meanwhile, IT requires centralized control of WAN and LAN connectivity, cyber security measures, and application management.
