As enterprise businesses grapple with the new normal during and after the coronavirus pandemic and quarantine, considering whether to invest in a new technology may seem like too big of a risk to take.

However, 5G technology is not just any technology. The next generation of wireless connection is essentially an upgrade from previous iterations and takes advantage of the many innovations that have occurred recently. Here are some of the reasons to consider investing in 5G technology for your enterprise business.

Faster Speeds
5G technology provides faster connections and lower latency periods. Your employees can connect to your customers faster, providing them with the answers they need with little to no delay.

Better Coverage
Coverage will improve immensely with 5G technology without the need for more cell phone towers to make it happen. This can be an important advantage for freight and trucking companies, who will now be able to track deliveries through mountain passes and other previous “dead spots” in service. It also means there will be less of a chance that your salespeople will run into issues where they’re unable to contact customers if they’re running late or roadside assistance if they’re stranded on the side of the road between cities. It also means better connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which will help expand when and where connected items can be used.

Virtual Networks
With 5G technology comes the advent of truly virtual networks that depend less on cables and hardwiring to connect businesses, servers, email accounts and inventory tracking, among other uses.

Lower Frequency
There has been some discussion in the news on whether 5G technology is safe. In fact, it is safer than older generations of wireless connectivity because its frequency is lower. 2G, one of the first iterations of cell phone connectivity, operated at 900 MHz; 4G technology operates at 400 MHz. In contrast, 5G operates at 300 MHz.

A Variety of 5G Compatible Smartphone Options
According to NPD, the number of devices now compatible with 5G technology jumped nearly nine-fold between the beginning of 2019 and the second half of the same year. There’s no need to find a new operating system or smartphone unfamiliar to your employees or incompatible with your current software. All the major smartphone manufacturers now have a 5G compatible option available that can be adapted for your business.
