Enabling fast connectivity and data rates
To provide instant access to data and vital applications , organisations need an infrastructure that can bring high bandwidth and low latency to buildings and other premises . Slow Internet speeds and high latency can cause a drop in productivity and efficiency for workers . This importance of dependable connectivity has been highlighted in the UK government ’ s targets to deliver gigabit broadband to a minimum of 85 % of premises by 2025 and its promise of allocating £ 5 billion to subsidise the roll-out to the ‘ hardest to reach ’ premises as part of Project Gigabit .
Fibre has become the foundation and standard for digital networks thanks to its high gigabit speeds and reliability , as well as its ability to integrate with new wireless communication technology . However , the ‘ last mile ’ is becoming increasingly mobile and requires greater flexibility . While fibre is outstanding for connecting fixed assets in the last mile – such as routers and computers – and providing high speed broadband to homes and businesses , ‘ on-the-move ’ technology users , IoT and robotics demand a wireless connectivity to unlock their full potential .
The importance of mobility
Businesses are changing and looking to adapt the footprint of their offices and buildings to become less wired , allow for greater creativity and facilitate agile working . They are becoming more dynamic and advanced in terms of technology as they seek to attract new candidates to the workplace and industry experts all whilst striving to meet their client needs .
As technology advances and its demand for data does too , organisations will need to consider the next generation of wireless networking to become even more agile .
Wireless connectivity can accommodate the flexible nature of the modern workspace and ensure that workers are not just bound to a desk . Enterprises and businesses have used Wi-Fi networks for many years to support their wireless activities within their premises , as the technology provides secure connectivity and sufficient bandwidth and latency .
As technology advances and its demand for data does too , organisations will need to consider the
