While they promise unmatched performance and security, their adoption faces hurdles like vendor limitations, legacy system compatibility, complex regulations, and security risks. Paul highlights the need for collaboration across the industry to overcome these challenges and unlock the full potential of private 5G.
Aiming to offer support to companies that plan to take advantage of the benefits of digital transformation and cloud-based services, NSC Global, the world’s largest independently owned IT services company, has launched YouCPETM.
The UK headquartered IT solutions provider believes that YouCPETM will offer a new level of user experience through inherent advantages such as enhanced security, automation and simplified management.
Traditional uCPE (Universal Customer Premise Equipment) promised huge transformational change in Enterprise Networking by removing the need to buy, install, operate and maintain racks full of specialised, single-purpose network devices and replacing it all with a single physical appliance, running multiple virtualised services.
However, while Enterprise adoption of uCPE is predicted to triple year-on-year, many of the uCPE solutions currently on the market don’t deliver fully on these promises, and instead act as a vehicle to introduce pre-defined managed services, rather than a platform to cater for businesses’ needs – ultimately preventing businesses realise all of the transformational benefits that are possible with uCPE.
Unlike other uCPE solutions, YouCPETMhas been designed specifically to break vendor lock-in, allowing businesses to shape the solution to fit its unique needs, giving unmatched choice and flexibility, enhanced security, enabling innovation and future-proofing the Enterprise Network.
“NSC Global recognises our customers want choice when it comes to deploying technology to achieve their goals. We are providing not only choice, but removing the complexity from their global network service deployments and delivering a greater user experience,” said Sascha Groeger, Chief Commercial Officer, NSC Global. “The range of associated applications for each vertical industry – from construction to transport, to financial services and marketing – is vast. Businesses need a platform for on-premises workloads that can deliver the required level of flexibility and customisation. NSC Global has developed YouCPETM to offer our customers greater choice, security, resilience, service and agility to help customers with their digital transformations.”

London – NSC Global, the world’s largest independently owned IT services company, is continuing to expand its managed technology solutions with the launch of Next Day WAN, a cloud managed cellular WAN service – designed to allow businesses to get up and running fast.
Using 5G or 4G LTE, Next Day WAN provides high speed broadband internet, enabling businesses to have secure network in less than 24 hours.
“Due to the huge shift in workplace environments in the last year, many businesses are now looking to equip teams in remote or temporary locations – while also ensuring secure access to a private or corporate network. In the past this has been a challenge for businesses due to long lead times for landline WAN/broadband circuit installations from last mile carriers.
“By allowing customers to scale their network up or down, businesses can tailor Next Day WAN to meet their specific business needs. Available globally, Next Day WAN can be tailored for any size business, in any location for any business need, making it is a great addition to our complete portfolio of managed technology solutions,” said NSC’s Chief Commercial Officer, Sascha Groeger.
Next Day WAN is suitable for both temporary and permanent cases, including smaller locations with a lower bandwidth demand – such as retail sites, removing the need to work around a rigid timeline and infrastructure for circuit installations, giving organisations flexible, secure WAN solutions at a low cost.
Using reliable enterprise-grade connections, customers can confidently maintain secure access to their back-end systems – keeping corporate data protected. Spare devices and SIMs are staged and set up at NSC Global’s logistics hubs so that they can be deployed, shipped out and turned up at speed.
The announcement follows the earlier expansion of NSC Global’s portfolio of edge technology products and services including Anytime, Anywhere, YouCPETM and Cableless Enterprise.

London – According to new research commissioned by NSC and conducted by YouGov, “as-a-Service” is the single most important solution driving digital transformation.
However, “it feels when reading industry content that offering product as-a-Service is something vendors have dreamt up recently,” said Alex Tatham, Global Head of Clients and Marketing, NSC, “but the reality is providing technology as a service is what Managed Workplace Service Providers (MWSPs) have been doing for years. And it’s more important than ever according to our research.”
The demand for access to new technology and faster deployment are all driving “as-a-Service” consumption. Alex went on to say, “cloud is turning everything into as-a-Service as a greater focus is being placed on what infrastructure can deliver, rather than infrastructure ownership. Increasingly we see our clients looking for operating expenditure (Opex) solutions supported by related transformation and maintenance services. They frequently don’t want a large capital outlay nor the resource in-house to manage on-premise.”
While the move to cloud-based software and services to streamline business and technology requirements is evident – half of the businesses surveyed view legacy technology as a barrier to successfully implementing a digital transformation strategy. Consequently, Service Desk support (64%) and Hardware Break/Fix services (76%), were seen by execs as key when selecting a MWSPs.
“With supply chain constraints and significant product shortages, legacy technology support will continue to be a huge part of NSC’s business. We are well positioned to bridge the current gap with a team of expert networking global engineers and a large pool of hardware – so as requirements of a project change, our customers can get the hardware and skills needed immediately. We have multiple logistics hubs across the world, 268 forward stock locations holding millions of spares and equipment to be delivered as a service,” added Alex.
The ongoing drive to improve operating business models and integrate digital technology into all areas of a business, presents a significant opportunity for MWSPs. However, there is still a need for MWSPs to provide ongoing support for legacy technology.
