Wireless WAN (WWAN) refers to the use of cellular networks, such as 5G and LTE, to provide connectivity for organizations. As businesses increasingly rely on cloud services, IoT devices, and mobile applications, traditional wired networks can limit operational flexibility and reach. WWAN allows organizations to rethink their network strategies, offering broader coverage and improved agility, which are crucial for digital transformation.
How does WWAN enhance network failover?
Wireless WAN enhances network failover by enabling seamless switching between different types of connections, such as wired and wireless links. This flexibility ensures that businesses maintain continuous operations, even during outages. With lower-bandwidth LTE connections, critical traffic can be prioritized on the wireless link, while higher-bandwidth 5G connections can handle all traffic, allowing for quick deployment and management of failover solutions.
Why use cellular as a primary link?
Using cellular connectivity as the primary link offers several benefits, including greater operational agility and reduced management complexity. It allows businesses to quickly establish networks in locations where wired connections are impractical, such as construction sites or temporary setups. Additionally, leveraging national contracts with multiple cellular carriers can simplify configurations and enhance network reliability, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional wired solutions.
