4 Reasons Your Business Needs to Switch to 5G - Finnegan Pierson - ContactCenterWorld.com Blog

4 Reasons Your Business Needs to Switch to 5G

While it might seem like a rumor, for the time being, 5G is quickly becoming a reality for many businesses. When a business trend is still in its early days, you might have hesitations about jumping on board. But thinking ahead and being innovative is all about taking risks and going all-in on the newest technological advances. Here are some concrete reasons why it's a good idea for your business to make the switch to using 5G networks.

 

  1. Handling More Devices

As more and more of your business moves online, the more devices your employees are going to need to do their jobs. Not only that, but automated machines will also become a bigger part of business operations. Current network options can't handle the volume of devices that are currently online, and that's where 5G comes in. While a 4G network wouldn't be able to handle the sheer number of devices that need to be constantly sending data in the current business environment, a 5G network with OSS solutions can handle up to five times more and does so with ease. Simultaneous data transfers can now be done quickly and without any concern for overloading the network, which means big businesses can scale in nearly unlimited ways.

 

  1. Faster Speeds

Not only is the sheer volume of data that businesses need to deal with rising every day, but the speed they need to be able to share and receive data is rapidly rising, as well. Current 4G networks max out at 100 Mbits per second, while 5G has the potential to achieve 10 Gbits per second, which is a massive jump in speed. A business that switches from 4G to 5G won't just experience faster connection speeds - it'll be like an entirely new definition of the word "connection". When your business needs to move large amounts of data, it won't be a massive time sink, meaning that you can plan large projects without worrying about waste.

 

  1. Less Lag-Time

When talking about networks, the word "latency" refers to the lag between when data is sent and when it's received. Anyone who has experienced buffering when watching a live event has witnessed latency and can testify to how irritating it can be. In business, latency isn't just irritating - it can waste time and makes collaborating with remote workers or clients very difficult. Using 5G eliminates any significant latency your business might be experiencing, making a lot more interaction with the Internet of Things a possibility. 

 

  1. Change From the Ground Up

Making the switch to 5G isn't like installing software or getting a new piece of technology for the office. To be 5G compatible, your business is going to have to lay groundwork and operations will change at a fundamental level to accommodate the higher speed and capacity. Your business's budget will need to change, as well, to reflect the cost of 5G compatible hardware. Your entire business's staff will need to be trained to use the new network, as using it incorrectly or inefficiently can be a waste of valuable resources.

 

It's an investment and one that comes with some risks and inconvenient consequences. But change isn't a bad thing, and in business, it is often a good sign. To become compatible with 5G, your business will be taking the necessary steps to become prepared for the future. The rise of AI and machine learning technology will make 5G a necessity for many businesses, and preparing for it now will put you ahead of the curve.

Plus, you'll be equipped with the ability to scale your business and start laying the groundwork for massive leaps in growth. Making the switch to 5G isn't the right move for every business. But, for the ones who want to be prepared for what's ahead in their industry, it could be the smartest possible move to put you in the right position for success.
