SD-LAN in your industry

Manufacturing

SD-LAN and WiFi-6 bring supply chain efficiencies by providing connectivity to streamline order preparations and track assets through location-based services. You can enable more agile, productive and efficient operations at reduced costs – and leverage the benefits of Industry 5.0.

Retail

SD-LAN’s higher resiliency and service uptime lets retailers integrate uninterrupted omnichannel experiences across all their sites. It minimises fault raises and enables better commercial efficiencies. Plus, guest WiFi improves customer engagement through push notifications and tracking of repeat visits.

Finance

SD-LAN allows hybrid workers to connect safely from anywhere and serve customers without putting personal financial data at risk. And CCTV over SD-LAN keeps a watchful eye in branches and at ATMs 24/7 to ensure physical safety measures are in place.

Energy & Utilities

SD-LAN provides a resilient and secure network that delivers deep insights and creates a platform for innovation, so utility organisations can leverage smart grids, policy changes and digital consumer relationships. Plus, AI-powered WiFi-6 supports the refinery to the rig.

Public sector

SD-LAN enables an agile infrastructure that removes any risk or delays on their critical operations, delivering cost and time-efficient service and keeping their data safe. This gives public sector organisations peace of mind so they can focus on improving services in other key areas.
