5G Network Engineering

Wherever there is a requirement for highly available service levels, a 5G architecture should be considered. With the additional capacity, speed, and low latency nature of 5G, the traditional expectation of a slower and delayed failover to a redundant link is no longer the case. Enterprises and institutions can expect an architecture that provides a business-as-usual experience in the event a 5G backup is invoked.

Rural Broadband Networks

Demand for bandwidth continues to grow exponentially and now more than ever, customers are demanding access to new services and technologies. While this trend holds true in urban and rural areas alike, it is significantly more difficult for smaller, rurally-located CSPs to meet this new demand than it is for larger operators. To further complicate matters, major CSPs continue to invest where the money is – in dense urban and suburban areas. The result is both a challenge and an opportunity in building out access to high-quality rural communications.
