As business's we rely on our networks to operate but to keep ahead of the competitors and ensure the best service to our customers we need to make sure that our network is not only reliable and fast but we are using it to the optimum.

We are five years into the 5G journey, as it becomes a ubiquitous product and people are not only just talking about it but they are implementing it, lets take a shallow dive into the world of 5G.

The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) has been at the heart of our business communications, providing reliable voice and data services for over a century. This traditional network, with its analogue technology and copper wires, has likely been a dependable part of your daily operations, too. However, with evolving technological demands, the PSTN is set to be switched off by early 2027.

In our daily lives we all expect to be able to access the internet whenever we need it.  Now let’s expand that concept from our personal lives into the business environment and using the tagline, anytime, anyplace, anywhere, think about having the ability to spin up business grade connectivity whenever and wherever you need it, for as long as you need it. Well, that is where Wireless WAN comes in.

In this fast-paced world of modern network infrastructure, where does SDWAN fit and has it already been superseded? We take a brief look at the ever changing world of Wide Area Networks where we came from and where we are at today.
