Deloitte asked survey respondents about the network technologies they consider critical for business initiatives. 69 percent of survey-takers said that they consider 5G an essential networking technology today, with 76 percent considering it important within three years. For Wi-Fi 6, 58 percent and 65 percent of respondents said the same for the present and in three years, respectively.

Half of networking executives expect that their investments will be boosted due to the pandemic. 35 percent believe that they will invest “somewhat more” while 15 percent say they will invest “significantly more.” The chief reason behind the increase in wireless spending, with 59 percent of respondents answering it as a top-three reason, is to increase their ability to address current and future business disruptions.

In the company’s press release, Deloitte Consulting LLP’s principal Jack Fritz stated: “While innovation and digital transformation are desired business outcomes of advanced wireless networking adoption, there are also tremendous advantages for the people running the business – the employees, customers, and partners. The Deloitte survey found adopters are using 5G and Wi-Fi 6 both inside and outside the office for a variety of reasons, but the enhancement of workplace communication, collaboration, and productivity is particularly timely and relevant since connectivity is crucial for remote work and business continuity during a crisis like the current pandemic.”
