Drawing on insights from Ericsson’s Australia’s Enterprise State of Connectivity 2025 survey, we uncover why over 87% of enterprises see 5G as key to positioning Australia as a global technology leader — yet misconceptions around cost, complexity, and integration still hold many back. From enabling AI, machine learning, and edge computing to reducing downtime and unlocking faster, more reliable operations, we break down how 5G Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs) are opening doors to boundless business potential.
We also tackle the common roadblocks: perceived high costs, hardware complexity, and a lack of in-house skills. Discover how managed 5G solutions simplify deployment, integrate seamlessly with existing IT and OT systems, and work alongside satellite to deliver resilient, high-performance connectivity anywhere in the country. Whether you’re a business leader, IT decision-maker, or tech innovator, this conversation will help you separate the myths from the facts and see why the real risk is in not investing in 5G.
