Cloud applications need internet access. Networking and connectivity is not one technology category among six—it’s the foundation that makes every other category possible.

WHAT IS DRIVING DEMAND
SD-WAN is replacing traditional MPLS in branch networks, giving IT teams centralized control at a fraction of the legacy cost. Multi-location customers are the direct target. Wi-Fi 6 and 6E are rapidly replacing legacy wireless in education, healthcare, and retail environments where density and throughput requirements have outpaced older technology. Private 5G is emerging in manufacturing and warehousing environments where wired infrastructure is impractical and standard Wi-Fi cannot meet uptime requirements
