As we move into 2025, SMBs and service providers will likely face network infrastructure challenges resulting from adopting advanced applications and a shift in work processes that drive the requirement for more bandwidth, faster speeds, and increased reliability. Meeting and exceeding those ever-increasing network performance expectations while managing increasingly tight budgets will require a robust, future-proof infrastructure to eliminate network bottlenecks and maximize productivity.

Cloud-based Services will Drive Demand for Bandwidth and Speed

The demand for increased bandwidth and faster internet speeds in the SMB segment is largely being driven by the shift to cloud-based services and the adoption of 2.5G and 5G services to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming and transfer of large files.

To support their customers’ increased bandwidth and speed demands, ISPs will need to increase their core networks and offerings to deliver speeds beyond 10G to their customers. A high-speed switch to be released by Zyxel Networks this year will enable metro and rural connectivity over fiber at 2.5G, 5G, 10G, and 25G speeds to stay ahead of cable modem services and 5G type service providers.

Faster Network Speeds will Require High-Performance Security Solutions

As internet speeds surpass 1G to 2.5G, 5G, and 10G, in support of the adoption of cloud and remote work applications by SMBs, enhanced security firewalls will be required to maintain full security for the network. As internet speeds increase, the volume of data increases and security devices need to process this data at high speed to eliminate a data bottleneck. In this high-speed environment, a high-performance network security device is required to provide real-time threat detection, minimize latency, and support advanced technologies like cloud computing, IoT, and AI.

Zyxel H-series family of firewalls provides SMBs and solution providers with robust network protection solutions to support a variety of business sizes ranging from small offices of 25 users up to hundreds of users. These firewalls enable businesses to increase network speed and productivity and deliver robust network security while keeping costs down.

WiFi 7 Fixed Wireless Solutions will Enable Critical Communications in Congested Urban Environments

2.4GHz and 5GHz public WiFi networks in highly populated urban and suburban areas can become easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of connected devices accessing the network. This can become particularly problematic when natural disasters, such as flooding, tornadoes, severe storms, and wildfires, impact highly populated urban and suburban areas, making network use difficult or impossible for emergency responders and residents. WiFi 7 fixed wireless solutions deliver the bandwidth and speeds that can provide life-saving connectivity that increases the efficiency of rescue and recovery efforts.

Designed to provide higher density and performance in congested urban environments, the WiFi 7 6GHz band delivers 5x faster speeds than WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E and provides more than double the bandwidth of 2.4GHz and 5GHz combined. The ability to support more devices with consistently high speeds will make WiFi 7 fixed wireless solutions invaluable in congested urban environments and in the event of surge connectivity.

Increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance performance, security and manage networks will be a key trend over the next 12 months.
Zyxel Networks is predicting that AI and machine learning will play a much more significant role in managing the efficiency, performance and protection of networks in 2025. Other key trends will see the accelerated adoption of WiFi 7, further uptake of multi-gig switching, and the continued integration of security into the network.

 

The forecasts are made in a blog post by Kevin Drinkall, Director – Marketing and GTM Strategy, EMEA at Zyxel Networks, and a podcast featuring Kevin and other Zyxel Networks experts.

 

In the blog post, Kevin emphasises the influence that AI will have in driving advances and improving user experiences, stating: “AI is what everyone will be talking about (again) in 2025. But the underlying trends will be all about meeting higher bandwidth demand, future-proofing and protecting investment, and finding ways to manage networks more efficiently and effectively.”
Zyxel Networks has been using AI for some time to improve the self-diagnosis and healing capabilities of its products. It also gathers information from installed devices and analyses the data using AI tools, feeding this information directly into R&D and helping focus efforts on areas that will have the most positive impact. AI will also help improved network security and make it easier and faster to diagnose and troubleshoot issues.

 

Kevin sets out his expectations for strong growth in WiFi 7 uptake, predicting that it will become the dominant standard, leaving WiFi 6 as the budget-friendly option. “Customers will choose WiFi 7 for its superior bandwidth, low latency and the additional future-proofing and investment protection it provides.”
An acceleration in multi-gig switches is also on the cards, he says, largely driven by WiFi 7 adoption. Zyxel Networks is planning to launch its first switch that provides 25G on network ports and up to 100G on the uplink in 2025.

 

All of these developments will also fuel further growth of managed services and activation of Zyxel Networks’ Nebula cloud management platform. This allows administrators and managed services providers to remotely configure, monitor and manage Zyxel Networks devices. Nebula was the fastest-growing area of the company’s business last year and is expected to grow further in 2025.
The move to managed services – for both the network and security – makes sense both for the end user organisations using networks and for MSP partners, says Kevin. “It means that there is no need to have someone in-house who is responsible for network management and cybersecurity – it can be left to a dedicated expert to keep watch over the network from a distance.”

 

In the podcast, Kevin discusses all these trends with Michel Nicolai, EMEA Senior Regional Sales Engineer; Hugh Simpson, EMEA Marketing Development Manager – Wireless; and Luke Harley, EMEA Market Development Manager – Switch.
