I heard on the radio that yesterday was the day most people gave up on their new year’s resolutions? Did you make any? Are you sticking to them? What resolutions did you make for your business?
Looking back
In January, we tend to look back over the last 12 months and analyse our performance before making plans for the future. What will your business look like in 12 months, 3 years or even 5 years’ time? What do you need to do to get you there? Will you need more staff? New premises? New revenue streams?
Looking forwards
Jola is a wholesale supplier of voice and data solutions servicing SMEs via a channel of IT and Telecommunications partners. One of our resolutions is to help our partners capitalise from the rising demand for 4G data from SMEs.
According to a recent report by Ofcom, 90% of all UK premises (almost 26 million) can access up to 24Mb/s fixed line broadband, however there are at least 190,000 premises that can’t get 2Mb/s and 2.2 million premises that can’t get 10Mb/s. Where the LTE signal is strong, 4G data is a great solution.
In addition to laptops, mobiles and tablets it is predicted that 28 billion other smart devices will be connected globally over the next three years with the worldwide market for IoT solutions worth £5.6 trillion.
Overindulgence
For companies looking to use 4G from remote or temporary sites or within IoT devices, the first challenge they face is how to manage their data usage.
4G data usage is not unlimited like many fibre broadband services. Companies need to predict how much data they will use each month and be prepared for huge overage bills if they exceed their allowance.
Mobile Manager is a complete end-to-end management portal for estates of mobile SIMs. Partners can activate SIMs, monitor usage, set-up alerts and add bolt-ons or bar SIMs to prevent bill shock. Overage charges can be completely eliminated.
