5G and SD-WAN: A Winning Combination for Modern Business Networks

As businesses continue to rely more heavily on cloud-based applications and services, the need for reliable and fast network connectivity has never been greater. The combination of 5G and SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Networking) has emerged as a powerful solution for businesses seeking to improve their network performance and stay competitive in the digital age. In this article, we will explore the benefits of 5G and SD-WAN and why they are a winning combination for modern business networks. What is 5G? 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology that promises faster data speeds, lower latency, and more reliable network connectivity. 5G networks operate on a higher frequency spectrum than previous generations of wireless technology, which allows for faster data transfer speeds and improved network performance. With 5G, businesses can enjoy faster and more reliable network connectivity, which can improve the performance of cloud-based applications and services. What is SD-WAN? SD-WAN is a software-defined networking technology that allows businesses to manage their network infrastructure more efficiently and securely. SD-WAN replaces traditional WAN (Wide Area Networking) technology, which can be complex and difficult to manage, with a software-based approach that provides businesses with more flexibility and control over their network infrastructure.

How SD-WAN Helps You Save Internet Cost

A Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a virtual WAN architecture that allows enterprises to dynamically route traffic across a hybrid-WAN based on the current network status by utilising multiple connections networks – including MPLS, LTE and broadband internet services. In short, the software determines the best way to route your traffic to your remote locations, which makes it much more efficient than traditional WAN routing. As a result, SD-WAN can help your business save on internet costs. Typically, WAN connections were built on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), a more expensive technology with limited bandwidth but excellent quality of service (QoS). Knowing that most WAN traffic is of low value such as web content, file sharing and email – instead of wasting expensive bandwidth on high volume traffic, SD-WAN can aggregate more than one internet connection such as the low-cost public internet with the more expensive IP VPN, users can get higher speed internet for lower cost. Think RM200 – RM300 for 100mbps compared to dedicated fixed-line broadband at RM2,000 – RM 4,000 for 2mbps of bandwidth. If that’s the case, why do we even need fixed-line broadband connections anyway? Fixed-line is still required because they are more reliable and

How 5G & SD-WAN Makes Branch Connectivity More Powerful

Things have changed a lot since the first generation of mobile technology. Globally, 5G is becoming widely available, with Malaysia moving towards that direction. As the fifth generation of cellular networks, 5G is up to 100 times faster than 4G, with a lower latency equivalent to fixed-lines, therefore, 5G will be able to create never-before-seen opportunities for people and businesses. One such opportunity is in Software-Defined Wide-Area-Network (SD-WAN) for businesses. SD-WAN is fast becoming a staple in organisations as it enables them to intelligently steer traffic over multiple WAN links including cellular public networks. This allows enterprises to have more options to connect their WAN and route their transactions to the cloud or central servers thus improving their network performance with higher bandwidth and lower costs. Many organizations already use 4G LTE at branch locations (e.g., retail stores and restaurants) but with limited appliactions due to lower bandwidth and slow latency. With 5G, real-world speeds can now go over 100 MB and latency dropping to below 1 milliseconds as compared to over 50 milliseconds with 4G. 5G radio deployments are also expected to drive bandwidth capabilities well beyond 1 GB over the next few years. This will provide plenty of

3 Reasons Why SMEs Need SD-WAN

SD-WAN stands for software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN). Before there was SD-WAN, there was WAN (wide-area network) – a traditional model that functions to connect users within an organisation to applications hosted on servers in the data center. Think of it as your dedicated campus or office server. However, in this cloud-centric world, the traffic becomes too much for the legacy WAN model. This causes management complexity, application-performance unpredictability and data vulnerability. Opening the enterprise to the Internet and cloud also creates major threat and compliance issues, since applications are accessed by employees, partners, contractors, vendors and guests. That’s where SD-WAN comes in – it answers the current technological challenges SMEs face and more: #1. SD-WAN Simplifies Management When expanding, modern organisations would have to deal with large file backups, video streaming, company communications, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and different cloud-based type applications. You’d have to think about how to connect to private data centres and to public cloud providers, not to mention deal with increased bandwidth consumption. With SD-WAN, you can have a single, centralised, cloud-based management dashboard for configuration and management of WAN, cloud and security. Your IT team can easily set up with one integrated hardware appliance that supports
