The
impact of the COVID-19 health crisis has been felt across many industries,
including the telecommunications sector. Yesterday marked the anniversary of
the United Nations’
World Telecommunication and
Information Society Day (WTISD) which raises awareness of the
possibilities the Internet can bring to societies and economies. WTISD is a
fitting reminder of the importance of the Internet as people across the globe remain
at home and indoors. Communicating has never been more important for people to
stay in touch and connect with their loved ones. Network operators face a
fierce demand to reliably connect users to their families, teachers, colleagues,
clients, and businesses seamlessly.
From a child trying
to access an educational class online, to a family trying to stream and watch
the latest TV show, having reliable network connectivity is of paramount
importance. As this need increases and operators seek assistance from partners across
the industry, Iskratel is ready to help soften the impact of this period of
uncertainty and disruption by supporting operators to provide low-latency,
reliable connectivity.
The importance of networks
Staying
connected has become more critical now than ever before, so it's no surprise
that there is increasing pressure on operators to provide the best service
possible. In the United Kingdom alone,
70% said they are more dependent on a
good internet connection now than ever before due to the outbreak of COVID-19. This significant increase
is adding pressure on operators to meet the growing demands of customers for
connectivity.
However, operators
still face a number of challenges as any network issues will need to be dealt
with swiftly. Turning to support from local, regional partners and suppliers
can prove to be the best possible solution during the current climate.
