Staying connected is essential business

This past year illuminated how vital cloud connectivity has become for safely maintaining critical  networks.

But what happens in locations where either a hardwired or Wi-Fi internet connection isn’t feasible or reliable?

This is why connectivity is essential business.

The pandemic has illuminated the importance of connectivity in our lives. We’ve had to adapt how our kids learn, how we socialize with friends and family and how we work. Technology has and continues to play a key role in bringing people together while we’re physically distant.

Sometimes we take for granted the infrastructure that makes this all possible.

But what happens in locations where either a hardwired or Wi-Fi internet connection isn’t feasible or reliable?

Networks that lack reliable internet connectivity are some of the most challenging to maintain, which is why we must continue to find new ways of bringing cloud connectivity to these hard-to-reach networks. Mobile (cellular) connectivity has traditionally been too expensive to serve as the primary (or even as the back-up) network connection.

But we’re beginning to see movement from the carriers to bring down the cost of connecting IoT-type devices.
