5G, You’ve probably read about it

5G is being talked about an awful lot right now. We’ve known it’s been coming a long time, ever since cellular data services landed, but now it would appear the dawn has arrived. The fifth generation of mobile cellular services promises data speeds of up to 1GB, as well as lower latency and greater capacity. This means that 5G is not only going to speed up video streaming and gaming for your average consumer, it is also purported that it is going to propel forward the development, adoption and performance of ‘tomorrow’s world’ technologies like driver less cars, smart cities, next-gen medicare and a host of exciting IoT applications. Sprint CEO, Marcelo Claure, recently said that “going from 4G to 5G is like going from black and white to colour TV”.

FluidOne continues to innovate by bringing the ground-breaking, Software Defined, Ethernet on Demand service to market. To begin with, it will be available on Sky’s carrier class network with availability in over 2,800 Ethernet exchanges, making it the largest Ethernet on Demand service of its kind in the UK.

Platform One helps our customers deal with ever more complex connectivity choices in a straightforward, timely and very cost-effective manner. Based on in-house developed expert systems and integrated with our own software defined network core, it's brilliant for customers that need to connect multiple people, places and things - using a mix of different connection types to the private and cloud based services they need to thrive.

It's also a great platform for Managed Service Providers, enabling them to connect their customers to their services, using whatever the most appropriate connections might be.

Set against a background of good news and bad, Platform One sets out to make difficult choices, straightforward. 

The good news is that there are lots of ways that customers can connect people, places and things together. Out in the open market, you can choose from fibre Leased Lines, EFM, ADSL, FTTC, FTTP, 3G and 4G data plans and fixed wireless. And there are lots and lots of providers too. Dozens in fact. It is a VERY competitive market.  

And that’s also the bad news.
