S11|E24 Enhancing Digital Experiences in Remote Areas
Emerging forms of wireless connectivity are growing in popularity as a new way to reach people in highly remote, rural, and difficult-to-reach locations. They are particularly important in getting sites connected more quickly. 5G and satellite internet offer crucial connectivity to businesses to deliver their offerings to more people in more places, though they lack sophisticated technologies to secure and optimize end-user experiences against disruptions, packet loss, latency, jitter, and cybersecurity incidents.
Learn how Catalyst SD-WAN enhances satellite internet by using embedded threat defense, intelligent application prioritization, and packet management capabilities to protect and optimize connectivity for smooth, secure, and reliable end-user performance.
