The Impact of 5G on Enterprise Network Monitoring

Kentik

To offer just one example, the scalable connection density and low-latency response from 5G will play a key role in driving IoT device monitoring and control across industries. Many enterprises are replacing their fixed MPLS wide area networks (WANs) with virtualized software-defined WANs (SD-WANs) to reduce costs.
