As the rise of data users continues alongside the rapid proliferation of devices connected to enterprise networks, organizations are seeking ways to modernize their networks. Although advances with Wi-Fi have helped to support more demanding requirements in recent years, organizations are increasingly deploying private 5G networks alongside—or even in place of—traditional Wi-Fi installations.
