Network Resilience Market Overview

Understanding 5G Network Resilience

Using a 5G network resilience solution eliminates cabling effort and costs, yet it need not be disruptive. The Teldat-5Ge enabler can connect into an existing office network, irrespective of router, with a single cable – and act as a self-contained module with no need for configuration or management.

While offering this attractive alternative to cable, 5G wireless can also be more reliable. Dual cables, even from different service providers, often converge into one for the last mile, creating a single point of failure. Conversely, the 5G network resilience provides full channel redundancy right to the user’s internal network port.

5G uses much higher radio frequencies than 4G; while this benefits performance, it also means that 5G enablers must be small, portable, and easy to locate in good coverage areas, unimpeded by walls.

Use cases

Reliable communications are essential to IoT viability.

Healthcare networks

Challenge

On and between healthcare sites, reliable and secure network connectivity is vital for patient safety and clinician productivity. Yet, healthcare organizations often rely on restricted-budget, legacy networks that are expensive to run and often inefficient. Additionally, cloud services, Bring Your own Device (BYoD), IoT devices, network merges, and IT advances are continually expanding these environments and increasing complexity.

While this makes 5G network resilience more critical, healthcare networks are challenged, among other things, by unintentional downtime caused by issues like weather or accidental line cuts.

The Teldat 5Ge solves this with its cost-effective backup solution.

Solution

While earlier Network Resilience products using double cables were prohibitively expensive, the Teldat 5Ge provides a simpler, lower-cost approach by implementing a 5G backup channel. If the primary cable or fiber connection breaks, the Teldat-5Ge automatically fails over to the 5G channel, without user intervention or even knowledge.

Non-IT specialists can plug the device into an on-site network with a single cable, where it works with existing routers of any brand. Unlike most 5G antennas, it can be used immediately, due to its compliance with the very specific 5G network radio requirements of most major mobile service providers.

Why Teldat?

The Teldat-5Ge is easy to use, while solving the problems of achieving 5G radio coverage. Small, light, and unobtrusive, it can be sited on a windowsill where coverage is unimpeded by walls.

Hotel networks and online booking

Challenge

As hotels and restaurants work to overcome the uncertainties of the pandemic, they are using technology more heavily to improve their operating efficiencies and provide better customer experiences. Today’s hospitality industry is being transformed into a technology-based one, supported by artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and various mobile applications. Technology enables hotel operations to become adequately contactless, with social distancing between guests and staff.

However, increased technology, especially remote operations like online booking or self-check-in, call for optimal 5G network resilience to avoid staff productivity loss or stranded guests.

Solution

With multiple and sometimes large numbers of hotel sites, arranging for and installing a backup data cable to every location would be excessively time-consuming and expensive.

A better 5G network resilience solution comprises a Teldat-5Ge for each hotel. Non-specialist administrative staff can easily plug it into their existing router with a single cable and let it auto-configure.

After the Teldat-5Ge installation, the hotel network operates as before, using the fiber or cable landline. However, if this fails, the Teldat-5Ge automatically switches over to 5G to continue transactions, without the staff being aware or needing to intervene.

When the landline is restored, the device automatically returns to normal operation.

Why Teldat?

Teldat-5Ge is easy for hospitality staff to use; its plug’n’play setup includes compliance with service providers’ radio requirements. It is also a transparent solution, compatible with other brand routers.

Remote control and automation

Challenge

According to Statista, IoT global revenues are expected to reach USD520b in 2021 – and modern factories are typical IoT users. They comprise complex environments with advanced machines and robots hosting a wide array of sensors, connected to high-powered analytics engines in the cloud that assess performance, manage production schedules, maintain supplies, and orchestrate all factory floor activities.

IoT technology brings new levels of productivity – but it is also susceptible to any cloud/ factory communications loss, and no-one may be available to reset after a connection fault.

Solution

The Teldat-5Ge easily adds quality transparent backup and 5G Network resilience to IoT infrastructures, simply by plugging its single cable into an existing factory router of any brand. If the primary connection breaks, it automatically and without intervention fails over to 5G. And full 5G connectivity gives the IoT equipment the uncompromised high data rates and low latency often essential for real time machine operations.

The small, light Teldat-5Ge can readily be positioned in a location which is environmentally benign while offering good 5G radio coverage. And, unlike other 5G devices, it is fully compliant with many service providers’ radio requirements.

Why Teldat?

Small, unattended locations like hydropower plants, as well as large factories use IoT installations. Such sites need the simplicity of the Teldat-5Ge’s plug’n’play, no configuration setup.
