Five years after the release of fifth generation (5G) wireless technology, its growth steadily continues and is expected to increase. Read on to learn about how your company can harness this technology’s advantages for a positive user experience.
A Brief History of 5G Technology
In 2020, the fifth generation of Internet technology arrived and has been growing ever since. By April of that year, some providers had expanded to more than 7000 cities. A few years later, 5G mobile subscriptions were expected to increase to 2.3 billion; subscriptions are expected to more than double by 2030. Some forecasts are more ambitious than others, but your company will need to look past the hype and consider what advantages 5G can bring to your telecommunications.
Advantages of 5G for Telecommunications
Business telecommunications require strong connectivity to run without interruption. Wireless 5G offers enhanced bandwidth hand-in-hand with low latency to provide a seamless telecommunications experience. Files can be shared easily, supporting file sharing which in turn can facilitate collaboration in the office and remotely. Scalability allows companies to add more devices and bandwidth as business needs grow. Private 5G in particular can provide security by using encryption to keep data safe.
5G and SD-WAN Together
According to a CompTIA article, the combination of the 5G technology and Software-Defined Wide Area Networking can provide speed (5G) and reliability at the same time, reducing costs while maximizing uptime. Companies can simply pay for 5G coverage and use the provider’s circuits. Network slicing enhances security by isolating cyberthreats from the rest of the network.
