There are approximately 31.7 million small businesses in the United States, each with its own connectivity needs. Luckily, 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) is becoming more common by the day, enabling businesses of all shapes and sizes to take advantage of the features offered by the service.

To help you find the right business connectivity solution let’s look at some of the most important factors to consider:

When working with small businesses, there usually isn’t an excess of disposable income. That’s to be expected, as many profits go back into the business to facilitate growth. We have good news though! 5G is often very inexpensive compared to traditional connectivity services like fiber or satellite. For example, our primary and failover plans start as low as $10 per month and include access to our cloud data management and monitoring software, the Cloud Data Platform. This is a significant cost-savings, as many business-level internet plans can easily reach into the hundreds of dollars per month. Our plans range from 50 MB to 1 TB with pricing guaranteed to fit any budget.

The RTech Cloud Data Platform makes it easy to monitor real-time data consumption, device status, SIM connectivity, and network activity. Better yet, it comes standard with every RTech data plan.

Our multi-carrier flexibility, advanced management platform, and API integrations mean that your projects and devices can be scaled from dozens to millions without compromising network performance or security.

The digital threat landscape is constantly evolving. Without the most up-to-date security standards, your business will be open to attack. Fortunately, 5G introduces a number of critical security updates that helps protect your network and all the devices connected to it. The biggest update, network slicing, enables operators to pick and choose what pieces of a network perform which actions, and fully encrypt them from end to end. Think of network slicing as taking a large network and laying several smaller networks on top of it. Those smaller networks are separate from each other, but still a part of the larger network underneath them. These smaller networks then each perform specific actions and are encrypted by providers to prohibit unauthorized access.

Every small business doesn’t have a dedicated I.T. staff or even a single I.T. person. The perfect solution would have to be turnkey and easy to install. Many of RTech’s 5G solutions are so easy to set up, that a professional install team won’t be needed. Depending on existing infrastructure and the needed solution, the setup could be as simple as pressing the power button.
