Sprint said Monday that it will offer Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to enterprise customers guaranteeing performance of its cellular data network.
Sprint claimed it is the first wireless operators to offer SLAs for data. It already offers SLAs for its cellular voice service.
"By making businesses as comfortable with the performance of their wireless (data) networks as they are on the wireline side, we can deliver the predictability and control they need for their wireless communications," Kathy Walker, Sprint's executive vice president for network services, said in a statement.
Sprint said it will use specific performance metrics and will provide credits to enterprise customers if those metrics aren't met. Specifically the company said it will provide the a 10 percent credit if:
Network slicing could be the answer to 5G rollout – but it's not easy to implement. Automation provides a way forward.
Wi-Fi 7 products, due out in 2024, will offer significantly more performance for enterprise users and can support more users in denser environments compared to Wi-Fi 6.
6G will leverage many different bands and tools to meet the ever-growing demands and expectations for cellular communications.
