5G laptops are great, but can be a hassle to manage

Roll-out is manual and time-consuming

Currently, provisioning laptops and eSIMs is a manual and time-consuming task for IT admins, often requiring users to act. This process is both inefficient and frustrating.

Network usage and cost is not transparent

Many enterprise IT admins have a limited overview of network usage and costs, lacking the data and understanding needed to make impactful decisions and deliver support services.

Enterprises cannot control network performance

Most enterprises today have no way of configuring network performance based on unique user needs, consequently lacking the ability to get the most out of their connectivity.

Enterprise 5G Connect helps enterprises to

Boost employee convenience and productivity

Get constant access to connectivity for AI and Cloud applications, enabling employees to work productively from anywhere.

Securely manage a modern, mobile workforce

Tap into new 5G security and reduce risk exposure, while gaining transparency on network usage and cost.

Move towards a lean and more cost-efficient IT approach

Start the journey towards infrastructure light offices (including greenfield potential) – and cut costs on employee home BB subsidies.

Enterprise 5G Connect makes managing 5G laptops a breeze

Intelligent connectivity
Onboard, connect, and manage laptops at scale

Enterprise 5G Connect allows enterprises to procure and provision eSIMs, automate switching between network types (public, private and Wi-Fi), adjust data package and manage devices at scale (pause, terminate and locate).

Differentiated service configuration
Take control of your 5G connections

Enterprise 5G Connect lets enterprises adjust network performance based on specific needs (location, group or app), authenticate app access based on location and take advantage of new network functionality and use cases.

Analytics
Collect and leverage actionable insights

Enterprise 5G Connect boosts an enterprise’s analytical capabilities by cross-correlating device and network data, providing site specific data and insights, as well as predictively matching requirements to subscriptions - all to enhance employee experience and optimize data buckets.

Security
Ensure secure laptop usage anywhere, always

Enterprise 5G Connect allows an enterprise to tap into 5G as secure default connectivity, an end-to-end encrypted tunnel (from device to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in the public cloud), and set up eSIM authenticated VPN (without traditional certification) – with one single pane of glass to manage security policies and connectivity.
