For modern businesses in the throes of migrating critical business applications to the cloud and needing more bandwidth for high-speed communications to remote offices and workforces, solving traditional WAN bandwidth limitations is now critical. In this world, the traditional way of building WANs has become something of a misfit.

Delivering immediate benefits to businesses, software-defined wide-area networking, known as SD-WAN, improves network performance, reduces downtime, and offers greater visibility and control over network traffic.

As we enter the festive season and bid farewell to 2020, we’d like to thank our partners, vendors, and clients for their ongoing support this year. We’re looking forward to an exciting start to 2021 with accelerated business transformation and planning around 5G and SD-WAN intensifying as long-planned changes and transitions to remote working becoming a reality.

As we move into the tail end of 2020 and reflect on the year that was, the word “unprecedented” rings out, loud and clear – from the raging bushfires on a scale hitherto unknown, to the social, political, and economical ravages of the pandemic. If lessons from the bushfires and COVID-19 have taught us anything in the business world, it’s the need for preparedness for the unprecedented and the flexibility to adapt.

5G is expected to shape this decade and play a critical role in the digital economy for decades to come. And while it’s easy to get excited about breakneck download speeds and killer apps, 5G offers so much more for the corporate world. The 5G network being rolled out in a location near you ­and right across Australia is giving every business the opportunity to undergo wholesale digital transformation and adopt end-to-end digital capabilities.
