In the current digital transformation scenario, the performance of corporate networks has become a strategic factor for companies seeking efficiency, security, and competitiveness. The expansion of 5G in Brazil and Latin America, the advancement of Artificial Intelligence applied to connectivity, and the consolidation of solutions such as SD-WAN and edge computing are redefining the way in which organizations from all sectors structure their digital operations.
Companies face the challenge of ensuring high availability, lower cost, and simplified management of their network infrastructures, while having to deal with the growth of corporate IoT and the growing demand for digital security.
In this article, we explore key trends and innovations in corporate networks, highlighting how emerging technologies are transforming business connectivity.
Innovations and Trends in Corporate Networks.
1. 5G connectivity and network expansion
By 2026, 5G is expected to reach about 75% of the Brazilian population, expanding coverage to more than 3,000 municipalities. Adoption is also expected to grow: it is estimated that 35% of mobile lines will be in 5G, driven by the drop in the price of compatible devices. For businesses, this means even lower latency, greater reliability in critical applications, and expanded support for IoT and cloud services.
2. Artificial Intelligence applied to performance
Global reports indicate that by 2026 more than 80% of companies will use AI in automation and network analysis processes. The technology will enable proactive monitoring, predictive analysis, and intelligent traffic balancing, reducing costs by up to 25% and ensuring continuous availability.
3. Edge Computing
The global market for Edge Computing It is expected to exceed US$ 25 billion in 2026, with accelerated growth in sectors such as industry, health and fintechs. In Brazil and Latin America, the expansion of 5G will boost the use of edge computing for real-time processing and latency reduction, especially in regions remote from large centers.
4. Evolutionary SD-WAN
The global SD-WAN market is expected to reach US$ 10 billion in 2026, consolidating itself as the standard for managing corporate networks. The trend is to integrate SD-WAN with AI and real-time dashboards, offering complete visibility and simplified management of multiple links (fiber, cellular, radio and satellite)
5. Integration with IoT
It is estimated that by 2026 there will be more than 80 billion connected IoT devices in the world, representing a market in excess of US$ 1.5 trillion. In Brazil, adoption is expected to exceed 30% of companies, especially logistics, health, and agribusiness. This will require scalable and secure network infrastructures capable of supporting millions of simultaneous connections.
6. Digital Security and Resilience
In 2026, more than 65% of Latin American companies are expected to face incidents of cybersecurity, according to regional projections. Globally, the attacks of Ransomware should grow by more than 35%. This reinforces the need for cybersecurity integrated, with solutions such as end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication and continuous monitoring, ensuring operational continuity and protection against threats.
Comparison of Trends
Companies that anticipate these trends in 2026 will be better prepared to reduce costs, increase availability, and strengthen digital security. The true performance of corporate networks goes beyond speed: it depends on intelligence, efficient integration, and continuous protection.
