Mobility can look like…
- Hybrid workplace — Having workplace flexibility to balance in-office and remote work experiences as needed per business, health and safety requirements.
- Remote work — Flexible scheduling, or work-from-home employees are able to connect to business systems and information with mobile technologies.
- Connected environments — Using mobile devices in retail, manufacturing, office or other workplaces to detect and prevent, and drive integrations, efficiency and revenue.
Full speed at 5G
- 5G is 10X faster than previous broadband speeds with latency at <1 millisecond.
