Nearly everything we do involves the use of a smart device. This reliance on constant communication and connectivity is boosting the amount of traffic being generated and moving us closer to 5G wireless technology—which makes bidirectional (send and receive) traffic a significant consideration.

Relying on one central location to send and receive all this data wastes valuable time and money. It can also create congestion and long transmission times that interrupt users and lead to downtime or failure—which aren’t options in mission-critical applications.

For this reason, more devices will start to send data to the “edge” and the cloud—and we’ll need to rely on more than one type of infrastructure (a “hybrid” approach) to make it happen.
