SD-WAN is showing its age. Sure it’s less than a decade old, depending on how you date it, but it was still developed in a different time to solve different problems – problems that many networks and businesses no longer face. And 5G is accelerating that change. Along with technologies such as cloud, SASE, and edge compute, and external changes to applications and workplaces, 5G is upending networks as we know them. 
 
For SD-WAN to remain relevant, it has to evolve or be left on the scrapheap of great technologies that are no longer used. 

Join this event as we discuss:
-  5 things that SD-WAN vendors are selling that you may not need
-  3 critical things to look for as you move toward a 5G era

5G Will Make These 5 SD-WAN Capabilities Obsolete

According to Gartner, 74% of surveyed CFOs plan to keep part of their workforce permanently remote after the COVID-19 crisis. Given remote work is here to stay for most some percent of a company’s workforce, it’s time to evaluate the long-term implications of supporting remote work on IT and the need for IT-friendly approaches.

Mixing business and personal devices on a home network not only introduces significant security risks, it increases the cost of managing an at-home employee from an IT perspective. Controlling IT security risks and support cost starts with the network.

Join Lee Doyle and Todd Krautkremer from Cradlepoint as we discuss the IT challenges associated with remote work and an IT-friendly approach to networking that will improve security, availability and the cost of supporting at-home users.

In this webinar you’ll learn:
•How IT requirements shift as work-from-home goes from temporary to permanent
•Examine the various network approaches to enabling remote work
•Discuss the benefits of a dedicated wireless network across the IT lifecycle

Now is the Time to Consider the IT Implications of Remote Work

Although network operators have offered fixed wireless access (FWA) for some time, it has been treated as a corner use case. With significant growth in wireless WANs and with the advent of 5G, enterprises are now considering FWA as a viable alternative to wired connections. Learn why some operators have become proactive in offering FWA and why it may make sense for all operators to initiate a full-blown FWA business.

Will Fixed Wireless Access Finally Offer an ROI?

The shift to remote work has enabled continuity of government during these challenging times but also has expanded the cybersecurity threat surface that federal IT and infosec professionals must monitor and protect. According to a recent SAIC survey, 82% of the federal executives polled expect telework to continue post pandemic. This means federal agencies must continue to build upon their Defense-in-Depth (DiD) security strategies by not only securing government-furnished equipment (GFE), but by gaining control, visibility, and resiliency in the remote network solutions they deploy.

Why Wireless WAN Works for Mission-Critical Federal Teleworkers

Private Networking with OnGo/CBRS has the opportunity to deliver significant benefits for vehicle fleets and the transportation sector. This virtual session will highlight multiple in-vehicle use cases, including a variety of applications for Private LTE through routers in airports, shipping ports, distribution, public transit, and transportation infrastructure.

Exploring Vehicle Use Cases for CBRS/OnGo and Private LTE and 5G

For decades, traditional MPLS was the only option to connect corporate branch environments. With those legacy networks comes a lack of choice in wired connectivity, speed and availability based on service provider metrics, and time-consuming, expensive truck rolls whenever something needs fixed.

Today, branch networks are undergoing dramatic change that require organisations to rethink their legacy networks. Many IT professionals are currently asking themselves if 4G LTE is a viable option for branch networks, and whether or not they can trust wireless technology to keep their businesses connected and thriving.

In this webinar, we will address a few misconceptions about wireless WAN in the enterprise, and discuss why 4G LTE is not only a practical option for your branch networks, but the most flexible, secure and reliable solution. Whether using cellular for primary, secondary, or hybrid WAN connectivity, 4G LTE plays a significant role in the modern branch network.

What we’ll cover:
- Traditional wired networks vs. USB modems vs. wireless 4G LTE connectivity
- Current state of the WAN and trends in the market
- Capabilities of 4G LTE & SD-WAN
- Success stories from organisations in banking/finance, retail, and construction outlining use cases in pop-up networking, parallel networking, and failover.
