Anyone in the WAN business—from the carrier or end-user side—knows that local access can present some of the biggest challenges in corporate networks.

There's a physical geography problem that's not easy to overcome. We're talking about pulling and maintaining wires to all corporate sites, which is especially challenging when customers need physical diversity and protection.

Wireless has long been a backup of last resort for many users, but 5G has presented the promise of relieving this pain point. Let's talk about it. Greg welcomes Inseego Senior VP and GM of Enterprise, Ritesh Mukherjee, to the podcast. The pair chatted about 5G as a local access game-changer, got into some use cases, and looked to the future of wireless in the WAN. 

The WAN Manager Podcast is now TeleGeography Explains the Internet. Hosted by Greg Bryan.
