5G Wireless WAN
Wherever you connect, we give you an edge
What is 5G Wireless WAN?
5G is the 5th generation of mobile network. 5G Wireless WAN is the deployment of 5G cellular broadband as an essential part of the network infrastructure.
1980s: 1G delivered analog voice.
Early 1990s: 2G introduced digital voice
Early 2000s: 3G brought mobile data
2010s: 4G ushered in the era of mobile broadband.
2020s: 5G high speed, negligible latency, and 100x increase in traffic capacity will enable edge computing, autonomous operations, massive IOT, and immersive experiences.
What 5G Wireless WAN solutions are available?
MobileCorp has deployed many 5G Wireless WAN solutions which are typically achieving download speeds in excess of 1GB and upload of 70Mbps.
Business use cases include temporary sites, pop-up stores, branch offices; and links can be primary or failover or provide supplementary bandwidth to cope with traffic spikes or traffic prioritisation.
We have also used a 5G link to transmit video from underwater and aerial drones over the internet.
When should business consider a 5G Wireless WAN solution?
The key drivers for a 5G Wireless WAN deployment in Australia are typically:
- A network connection is needed quickly.
5G Wireless WAN can be spun up in a matter of days, rather than the months that is often needed for NBN connections at greenfield sites. - A network connection is needed for a temporary purpose.
A 5G Wireless WAN operates over a lightweight infrastructure which can often be carried around in a pelican case. Even if a more substantial antenna is required to augment signal strength, the infrastructure is relatively agile. - A secondary connection is required to provide network resilience.
A wireless WAN avoids the physical limitations of wires which can be compromised by physical interference, weather, and network outages. A 5G wireless WAN can be utilised as a failover or as the primary link. - A 5G link is more cost effective.
A 5G Wireless WAN can be significantly less expensive to deploy as a primary connection for branch sites.
