SD-WAN Technology for Work from Home

- by David Phelps

At a time of the Covid-19 pandemic like now, the Internet is needed by many people. Whether school children, office people, or society, in general, all need the internet to stay productive. Starting from there, the business opportunity as an internet connection provider during Work From Home is very promising.

Innovations in telecommunications technology have by no means slowed down, either. We are still finding even more ways to remotely interact with one another, sometimes at the cost of actual face-to-face communications. To some, this might be a hint to refocus our energies on other areas of human knowledge and technology that still need improvement. With all the applications, programs, websites, and gadgets that enable them, are we thrusting our online presence too closely towards each other?

I think the technology still has a ways to go, and what we …
