Modern businesses today realize they need reliable, secure connectivity across all locations, but their first thought when growing their business or establishing a new location might be to explore wired broadband options. That approach may be short-sighted considering the opportunities that wireless networks offer digital businesses.
Enterprises would be smart to add managed wireless network services to their list of primary and backup network connectivity options. There are several scenarios in which wireless connectivity would provide superior service, potentially with less labor and cost. These are just a few examples of use cases in which a wireless-first managed services approach will empower businesses to succeed.
Use Case #1: Existing Business Adding New Locations
For a business, adding new locations will mean gaining more customers, enabling more opportunities, adding more employees, and, hopefully, making more profits. Technology should not be what is holding the business back.
In some cases, wireless connectivity is not just the best option, it could be the only option. Many areas in the world are without internet connectivity, and millions of businesses in the United States do not have high-speed broadband available to them. Wireless could be the only option for businesses looking to add new locations in these areas without wired broadband. And it could be the best option for areas in which it is not possible to pull cable to every location.
Use Case #2: New Businesses Getting Up and Running Quickly
A wireless-first strategy for new businesses would reduce the time it takes to establish connectivity in a new location and potentially reduce the costs often associated with broadband buildouts. Depending on the exact location, wired broadband connectivity might not be available. There can be geographical and physical constraints to installing wired broadband, such as in rural or remote areas.
Wireless offers cost-effective and rapid deployment options for businesses, and when coupled with managed services, businesses gain connectivity options and a robust network infrastructure on which to run their business.
Use Case #3: Poor Performance with Wired Broadband Connectivity
Wired broadband connectivity doesn’t necessarily guarantee a positive experience or superior performance. Businesses can often experience poor performance with their wired networks that cannot be easily remedied.
For instance, network cabling can be older and in need of upgrades that might not be possible depending on the physical location. Upgrading network cable can be time-consuming and costly, which could mitigate the benefits of investing in the aging infrastructure. Wired network connections are also susceptible to unforeseen physical damage, which increases the risk of multiple days or even weeks of outages.
Choosing wireless broadband connectivity could eliminate the challenges of outdated networks and enable a business to not only have a backup wireless network, but to also invest in wireless for primary network capabilities.
Use Case #4: Poor Performance with Existing Wireless Network
For businesses that have already invested in wireless networks, choosing to partner with a managed wireless services provider will bolster performance and prevent network issues from impacting customer experiences.
Wireless network managed services providers improve wireless performance by using proactive monitoring to enable a reliable network connection, identifying potential issues, and resolving them quickly—before they cause downtime or negatively impact productivity.
Use Case #5: Lack of Wireless Expertise In-House
For many businesses, finding and retaining the right set of technology skills in-house can be challenging. The problem grows more challenging when businesses are supporting distributed locations with varying degrees of broadband coverage. By partnering with a managed services provider, wireless network connectivity can become less cumbersome to maintain and operate for technical staff in-house. In fact, when customers choose Hughes Managed Wireless Services, all aspects of the wireless environment will be managed by Hughes.
