Abstract
This IDC Survey Spotlight presents the growing adoption of 5G wireless WAN as primary and secondary connectivity for SD-WAN solution. It contains data from IDC’s May 2024 Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Survey, based on the response from 1,018 enterprises worldwide.
5G wireless WAN connectivity is emerging as the best primary and secondary access options for various deployment scenarios, applications, and business operations. Although 4G/LTE has a larger share of the wireless WAN connectivity deployment, in next two years, 5G wireless will become the dominant wireless access connectivity method for corporatewide WAN. Besides increased mobility, ease of setting up a cellular connection to a new branch location is becoming a key factor in selecting wireless connectivity for SD-WAN solution,” said Ajeet Das, research director — Telecom Infrastructure, IDC.
