Advanced LTE and emerging 5G services are set to become bigger substitutes for fixed network access over the next three years, a survey conducted by IDC of 505 mid-size and larger enterprises with 500 to 10,000 employees suggests.
Mobile network access is increasing as enterprises connect more IoT devices, vehicles and temporary network endpoints.
On average, enterprises connect 2.7 different type of endpoints, including branch locations (77 percent), IoT devices (68 percent), fleet vehicles (51 percent) and pop-up networks (50 percent). Nearly a quarter of respondents (22 percent) are connecting all of these different endpoints.
About 62 percent of the respondents plan to increase LTE usage within their WAN in the next three years.
Gigabit LTE and 5G will increase usage, the survey suggests. Fully 90 percent of respondents say gigabit LTE and 5G would lead to increased usage.
