The New WAN Environment of Clouds, Things, and Mobility
Cloud services, IoT devices, and greater mobility are pushing businesses beyond the architectural constraints of wired networks. Each of these are driving demand for broader reach, increased diversity, and better operational flexibility to serve new use cases that drive competitive advantage. Together they are putting a strain on wired network capabilities and having a powerful impact on wide-area network (WAN) architectures. Wireless WANs, based on the capabilities of 4G LTE and more powerful 5G technology, are becoming an essential part of any organization’s digital transformation.
