Los Angeles, California | July 18, 2024 | Society22 PR The U.S. witnessed a rapid expansion in 5G adoption in 2022, with nearly 45% of all mobile connections utilizing the technology, a significant increase from just 15% in 2021. Projections indicate that by 2030, more than 90% of U.S. mobile connections will be 5G-based, aligning the U.S. with nations like Canada and South Korea and surpassing Germany, the UK, and Japan. This growth has also spurred interest in 5G for home broadband through fixed wireless access (FWA), with most new home broadband subscriptions in 2022 opting for 5G connections over traditional fiber or DSL.

With the increasing number of internet-reliant devices in homes and businesses, the need for high-speed, low-latency internet is more crucial than ever. According to recent data, the average American household has over 25 internet-reliant devices, while businesses in industries such as healthcare and hospitality have more than 100 devices per location.

“Transitioning from 3G to 5G is a critical step for businesses looking to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced digital landscape,” says David Idle, CPO of Bigleaf. “With the US 5G market projected to reach $153 billion in the next four years, the rapid adoption and demand for advanced wireless technologies underscore the necessity for companies to upgrade their infrastructure and harness the benefits of increased speed and connectivity. 5G has the potential of download speeds between 10 and 20 Gbps, which is 100x faster than 4G, and our early internal tests have been showing much faster speeds than 4G from the same testing locations.” 

Reliable Connectivity for Businesses

Businesses today increasingly rely on high-speed internet connectivity to support a range of applications, from streaming video and VoIP to IoT devices. However, finding a 5G wireless service that meets their needs can be challenging, especially since some providers’ 5G waves often struggle with obstacles like buildings and trees in the surroundings, which translates to a smaller coverage area and a more challenging endeavor for enterprises whose offices are either made of concrete or located in heavily wooded suburbs.

To serve a growing customer base and make it more convenient for businesses to take advantage of the faster speeds and reduced latency of 5G technology, Bigleaf Wireless Connect provides 5G service plans that provide reliable connectivity and continue to support 4G LTE connectivity where 5G might not be available. Alongside Bigleaf’s network optimization solution, organizations can use Wireless Connect to enhance network resiliency and minimize downtime with a cohesive, plug-and-play solution designed to provide businesses with robust and reliable network connectivity from a single, trusted vendor. Unified billing and 24×7 support for both services also make Bigleaf a good option for Cradlepoint users and third-party vendors who are currently bundling wireless circuits from multiple sources.

Danielle Sabrina, CEO and founder of Society22 PR, makes an interesting point regarding the importance of video conferencing in relation to the need for more stable connectivity for businesses and workers alike, especially now that most jobs have started to adopt the remote set-up: “The video conferencing market projection by 2030 reflects the permanent shift towards remote work and global collaboration. As businesses continue to embrace this technology, the demand for reliable, high-speed internet solutions like Bigleaf Wireless Connect will become even more critical. Companies must ensure seamless, high-quality connectivity to support video conferencing and other bandwidth-intensive applications, capitalizing on the necessity of investing in advanced wireless technologies.”
