"Telecommuting's great strides are being driven by several parallel advances. A key is the near ubiquity of 5G networks. This enhances bandwidth, reduces latency, and provides smoother video conferencing. Other advances include edge computing and Wi-Fi 6. The report also mentions virtual private networks and zero trust access frameworks that support telecommuting workers in a far wider variety of settings and more remote areas than in the past. Cloud networks are also expanding the areas where folks can live without relying on antiquated telecommunications tools"
"The advanced telecommunications networks, which rely largely on fiber, are driving a parallel rise in advanced cybersecurity. The inherent danger is that sensitive and mission-critical data is being accessed in far more settings, many of which were not designed with security built in. Companies therefore are investing in endpoint protection, identity authentication protocols, encrypted communication channels, and zero-trust network architecture,"
Global telecommuting reached $200 billion last year and is projected to double by 2033, with a CAGR of 8.5% through the report period. Growth is driven by near-ubiquitous 5G, improved bandwidth and latency, edge computing, and Wi‑Fi 6. Virtual private networks, zero-trust access frameworks, and expanding cloud networks enable remote work in more settings and remote areas. State and federal programs have broadened availability of advanced connectivity. Fiber-based networks are spurring increased cybersecurity investment, including endpoint protection, identity authentication, encrypted channels, zero-trust architectures, multi-factor authentication, biometric checks, and AI-driven threat detection.
