 Cloud-computing giants and phone companies have decided they need each other to drive the market for 5G business services. Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Corp. have all signed partnerships with telcos in recent months as they seek new opportunities amid slowing growth in demand for data storage. Telcos, including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., are also looking to revive flagging revenue while tapping into cloud computing's ability to make super-fast 5G networks more efficient and cheaper to run. "The cloud companies need to reinvent themselves," said Omdia analyst Vlad Galabov. "Communications service providers have the same thing — everyone has a mobile phone, a network — so both have saturation."  The parties are working together to bring computing functions such as data processing onto the 5G network, closer to where data is generated. This system, known as multi-access edge computing, or MEC, enables partners to offer enterprise services such as real-time analytics, manufacturing automation and live product tracking. Teaming up is a great strategy right now in all industries. If you're needing a solid telecommunications partner to work with in your business, we are excited to collaborate! 
There are 6 different types of internet. |
|
FASTER Fiber
Uses fiber optic cables to deliver the fastest speeds. Only available in areas that have invested in this costly infrastructure.
CableShares technology with the cables uses for cable TV. Fast and readily available in most communities.
DSL or copper
It looks like a phone line, but has slightly different technology running in the Digital Subscriber Line wires. Available through phone services, and offers medium speeds.
|
Fixed Wireless
Fixed wireless internet is a high-speed internet service for rural and underserved areas. Internet is sent from the main access point to individual receivers installed at businesses, farms, and homes.
LTE (Cellular)
LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. This service refers to a 4G wireless standard that provides the fastest internet speeds for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.
SatelliteSatellite internet is delivered wirelessly to the receiver, but requires wires to transport the signal. Satellite internet has bandwidth comparable to DSL and cable but can often feel slower due to latency.

To 5G or not to 5GRemember all the things we couldn't do with dial-up? We could see the potential for using the internet in many industries, but the slow speeds just put a damper on innovation. With wifi and faster speeds, our world has completely changed in almost every type of business and organization. As 5G is deployed globally, we are in for another grand shift in possibilities. Imagine smart surgeries and smart factories where machines and robots aren't at risk for glitching in the middle of key functions. With 5G, technology can take over more tasks and responsibilities previously dedicated to humans. Let's talk about what this means for your business! |  |
Every Cloud has its silver lining
Faster speeds and improved reliability, paired with the COVID culture shift, every possible industry will shift to full or partial remote work. The only way for businesses to function virtually is through Cloud Services. Simplified Communications recommends shifting to the Cloud for:

Mined Reading?
Have you noticed how it seems like your phone and online platforms are reading your mind? Every click and view is providing information to Artificial Intelligence, that's not really "mind" reading, but rather, it's reading through "mined" data to predict if you need food delivered to your office right now, or if you're ready to buy that new espresso maker.
Technology has barely scratched the surface of what is to come in intuiting what your customers need before they even know they need it.

"My computer is frozen" takes on a whole new meaning.
It is now winter in Antarctica, which means the sun won't rise until September. But those working at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole research station can't count on Netflix to keep them entertained during the six-month-long night.
That's because the internet is too slow to stream anything, Josiah Horneman, a physician assistant working at the station, told Insider.
Antarctica has not been connected to the network of underwater cables that carry data around the world. Instead, the remote station relies on satellites to get their internet, as Horneman explains in this TikTok post below:

Workplace rules and expectations have made a huge shift in the last few years. As your team ventures back into the workplace, now is a good time to review if a BYOD policy is the best option for your company!
Workplace rules and expectations have made a huge shift in the last few years. As your team ventures back into the workplace, now is a good time to review if BYOD is the best way to do it.
As we explore BYOD policies, keep in mind that Bring Your Own Device refers to laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Any wifi or cellular enabled device used for work will fall into this discussion.
Studies indicate that your team will see an increase in productivity when using their own devices on the job. There's something about having all the settings and preferences right at your fingertips, and even that friendly wallpaper of your cat, to speed up tedious tasks.
Employees also share that their job satisfaction increases, and that means they stick around at their favorite job for longer. Unifying communications into one phone (instead of a work phone, cell phone, home phone) reduces stress and increases productivity!
For Employers, enjoy a decrease in costs for providing hardware: computers, phones, etc. We recommend using apps like RingCentral, Teams or any other VOIP provider for employee work phone calls and communication.
Be prepared for the disadvantages of BYOD:

Be prepared for the disadvantages of BYOD:
- personal devices being lost or stolen, and losing company data or exposing company information in the process: use cloud-based platforms to retain and protect data
- insufficient anti-virus software
- decreased control
- potential increase in IT costs, should you provide support and repairs: be clear on what repairs and solutions your company will provide, reduce complex software and switch to cloud-based platforms where possible
At Simplified Communications, we strive to find ways to simplify your workplace. BYOD is one solution to consider! Need help implementing a BYOD culture?
Remember when every business phone system looked like this?
Simplified Communications offers Cloud-Based Phone Systems to simplify your business and amplify communications.
As the technology fades for On Premise phone systems and servers, your business may be ready to invest in a new way of communicating.
Traditional phone systems may make for a huge tax write-off, but they're a depreciating asset that quickly degrades with the growth of newer, lighter, more efficient cloud-based systems.

Internet outage brings down major news outlets.
For an hour.
At Simplified Communications we tout the benefits of using cloud-based services. Today, we saw one of the major benefits of technology that operates in the ethers. It can be fixed quickly.
Unlike the days when a service technician needed to be called, an appointment scheduled, and a series of guesses tested and tried in-person, with cloud-computing, problems can be identified from the comfort of one's pajamas, from anywhere in the world. That makes for speedy recoveries.

| CNET: Today will be remembered as the day the internet broke -- before swiftly being fixed again. On Tuesday morning, websites including Amazon, Reddit, Spotify, Ebay, Twitch, Pinterest and, unfortunately, CNET went offline due to a major outage at a service called Fastly. Everywhere you looked, there were 503 errors and people complaining they couldn't access key services and news outlets, demonstrating just how much of the internet relies on this largely unheard-of cloud computing service. At around 2:58 a.m. PT, Fastly's status update page noted an error, saying "we're currently investigating potential impact to performance with our CDN [content delivery network] services." Shortly thereafter, reports emerged on Twitter of major news publications including the BBC, CNN and The New York Times being offline. Twitter itself was still running, although the server that hosted its emojis went down, leading to some odd-looking tweets. |  Ready to simplify? |

Your employees need access to cloud applications and shared devices like printers, while your guests and customers expect fast connections to stream videos and access social media networks. To stay ahead of the competition, your business is going to need more than just fast, reliable WiFi – you’ll need an advanced solution that’s smart, scalable and flexible. Enter WiFi Pro.
SecurityEdge
Hackers and malware developers don’t take a day off. Which is why in the last 12 months1, 67% of small businesses have experienced a cyber attack. Your business needs to protect all connected devices with an advanced, affordable cybersecurity tool that actively checks your network for new threats, such as malware, every 10 minutes.

Telecommunications is often seen as a serious business, so we love running into stories that show the fun inner workings of a very complex industry!
Well, dam. A group of eager beavers shut down internet service in a western Canadian town over the weekend after they chewed through fiber cables and used them to build their home.
The outage wreaked havoc on the internet, cable television and local cell phone service of about 1,000 Telus customers in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia — a town with only about 2,000 people total. The service provider described the 36-hour outage as a "very rare and uniquely Canadian disruption."
"Our team immediately worked to identify the location of the damage and discovered that the cause of this fiber cut is fairly unique — beavers have chewed through our fiber cable at multiple points, causing extensive damage," Telus spokesperson Liz Sauvé told CBS News on Monday. "Our team located a nearby dam, and it appears the beavers dug underground alongside the creek to reach our cable, which is buried about three feet underground and protected by a 4.5-inch thick conduit."

Simplified Communications invites qualified individuals to work with us as an independent telecom agent or referral partner. The telecom industry is a growing market as businesses navigate the changes in technology.
Benefits of being a Telecom Agent:
- Telecom agents can work remotely from anywhere in the country
- Flexible hours
- Choose your own customers and market segment
- Growing demand for telecom agents
- Two styles of working with two different levels of commissions
- Recurring commissions
How to get started:
There are two different ways to work with Simplified Communications as a telecom agent.
AGENT MODELSimplified is your resource to provide carrier-pricing and quoting information for clients – but the agent runs the play and controls client communication and the entire sale. This model offers higher commissions to the agent. This Agent Model is ideal for an experienced salesperson or a motivated individual who has worked in the telecommunications industry. Be your own boss, build your own client base, and enjoy the commissions! |
REFERRAL MODELFrom quoting to installation, Simplified will manage the entire sales process: sourcing carriers, pricing and quoting, client communications, and installation. This model offers a simple hands-off approach for the referral agent. This option requires no expertise, referral agents don’t need to be an expert in telecom, they can rely on the experts to provide a high quality experience for their clients and earn recurring commissions. In many cases, referral agents are IT providers, low voltage contractors, phone vendors, and building developers. |
Partner with Simplified Communications:
Not all partnerships are the same. Simplified Communications can customize our partnerships to create the best experience for our agents and clients.
Simplified Communications keeps businesses up to speed with the latest in Internet and Phone trends. We simplify your business by identifying which trends should be adopted, and which trends will quickly fade.
We will continue to see trends related to COVID-19 pushing office workers home, and consumers online.

Edge Computing
In an effort to keep pace with new demands on network infrastructure, Edge Computing will take precedence. Edge Computing relocates data closer to the point where it is needed to speed up transfers and communication. Public cloud spending will shift to edge computing spending--bringing data closer to home. 5GPrepare for massive improvements in cellphone technology as 5G coverage is scheduled to reach the whole nation by the end of 2021. T-Mobile is in the lead on the 5G race with AT&T and Verizon close behind. Internet of ThingsThe connection of devices, endpoints and assets that haven't been able to communicate with a network are considered the Internet of Things. COVID-19 introduced a myriad of reasons to utilize multiple devices in a seamless business operation. From curbside service to self-checkout kiosks to working remotely, a new connectivity is in demand. Ensure your business is up to speed: |
SD-WAN to SASESD-WAN (software-defined networking in a wide area network) is a software-based approach to building and managing networks that connect geographically dispersed offices. SASE (secure access service edge) simplifies wide-area networking and security by delivering both as a cloud service directly to the source of connection rather than the enterprise data center. As more and more business operations move to the digital realm, security will be paramount in protecting customers and employees, and reducing business liability. SASE brings a much-needed security element to previously used networks. |
| 2020 proved to be a good year to evaluate personal and business goals. Now, this new year offers us a chance to implement and grow. In our review of where we want to take Simplified Communications, and how we want to spend our free time, we ventured to Miami, Florida to open another location. We continue to provide services to businesses nationwide, and are excited for the opportunity to serve from two very different climates. We're bringing a little sun to Minneapolis, and lots of coffee to Miami! This is a great time of year to assess your services and make sure everything is set up for you to have a seamless 2021.

Inspiration for a baby name can strike anywhere at any time.
While most people browse the Internet for suggestions, one couple decided to name their child after their internet provider.
According to Fox News, the new parents made the decision in hopes of cutting down internet costs.
They responded to an advertisement from Twifi, a Swiss based internet provider, that was offering free internet for 18 years to families who named their child after the service.
The internet provider chose “Twifus” for a boy and “Twifia” for a girl.
