Reliability Is Now Where Wireless Is Making Its Name
As Ollie Randall explains during the show, “Connectivity is critical,” when it comes to business continuity.
In a world that is ever-evolving, the demands on staying connected to customers and staff is a goal that is always moving, so making sure your business is keeping up with those demands is a constant challenge.
“There’s such a higher demand on constant and reliable connections that you can ill afford anything to drop off and not work” Ollie expresses that, “… it has to be reliable and it has to be constant, otherwise wireless doesn’t and wouldn’t have a future. And I think wireless Is going to continue to grow and continue to offer the flexibility for customers to grow in accordance with their business.”
Delivering Flexibility and Continuity to both Homes and Businesses
Those changing demands for small businesses means that they need a provider that is best placed to help them stay connected, as Gary Newson explains, NETGEAR is at the forefront of helping both businesses and consumers, “We aim to provide people with the best possible connection to the internet they possibly can get, whether that is for a consumer purpose or whether that’s for a business purpose, that is the ultimate outcome of what we’re trying to achieve at NETGEAR.”
Episode 7 explores all of this and much more, touching on remote learning, how businesses who previously didn’t require a consistent connection like personal trainers are now understanding its value and why the landscape of how we work for the rest of the year and beyond will consistently change.
