What can you do to turn things around for your business and field service teams? And how can you reduce network downtime, escalations and the number of calls to your technical support center?
The new decade has begun on an unsettling note. It’s not only the impact of the pandemic which has overturned expectations. Disruptive technological innovation has presented a set of profound challenges to the way we live, work and play. This has unsettled communities as well as industries, ushering in the beginnings of a new economy.
With the advent of 4G and 5G technologies, wireless networks can now use IP-based protocols for delivery of all services. Some data-driven services (such as SIM-based IoT and 5G messaging), still rely on services and technologies originally developed for earlier network generations.
In rural U.S. and Canada, fixed broadband Internet connectivity – particularly fiber – is uncommon. This is for two main reasons: networks are expensive to build, and rural areas are typically more geographically distant and less populous than urban areas.
Fibre is essential to realising the potential of massive IoT and how 5G is critical for your business. With 5G, a minimum connectivity of a million devices for the same coverage area can be achieved. Also new 5G networks are designed to support this truly ‘Massive IoT’ deployment and new applications.
Expected within two years at most and set to enable thousands of low latency applications, particularly for industrial purposes, Multi-Edge Access Computing (MEC) is emerging as a key requirement to support 5G SA (Standalone). Cloud computing and IT service power at the edge of a network offers many benefits, but to deliver on MEC’s enormous commercial promise, fibre has to play a central role.
Private 5G industrial IoT networks are about to become big. Probably, very big, because there’s a huge range of potential use cases, and stakeholders (across many sectors) are eagerly planning to capitalise on new, high-performance mobile capabilities to run wireless operations in factories, broadcasting, sports, smart cities and more.
