Setting up business mobile broadband for your team can improve flexibility, connectivity, and overall productivity—especially in remote and hybrid work environments. This guide outlines the steps Australian businesses should take to ensure a smooth and efficient setup.
Business mobile broadband allows your team to stay connected regardless of location. Unlike traditional fixed-line internet, mobile broadband uses the mobile network to provide fast internet access via SIM cards, modems, or mobile hotspots.

USB modems (dongles)

SIM-enabled tablets or laptops
Mobile phones with hotspot capability Ensure the devices are 4G/5G-compatible for best performance.
4. Set Up and Configure Devices
