The CK Daily – Change of Scenery
Happy Monday! And Happy MLK Day! This weekend we experienced a once in a year event in the part of Georgia where I live… snow! We had a pretty nice couple of inches of powdery snowfall in our neck of the woods. My family was very fortunate that we didn’t lose power or have any downed trees nearby, which is always something of concern during these rare events. My children had fun building snowmen, throwing snowballs, and eating snow. We also did a lot of bird watching out of our living room window. Our feeder had lots of different visitors from chickadees, bluebirds, cardinals, and even a woodpecker (A Yellow-bellied sapsucker).
I am grateful for the change of scenery and grateful for time spent together with my family. If you had snow over the weekend, I hope you enjoyed it, especially if you are in the South where snow isn’t too common. I’m sure our Northern readers who’ve had snow all winter are probably over it by now haha! Anyways, I hope you have a great day and a great week!

Learning Center Article – What does 5G mean for business networks?
There is a lot of technology generating excitement for more applications than we could hope to name. One central theme to virtually all of that technology is an increased demand for data and a need of higher bandwidth for connectivity. More devices than ever are actively communicating, and they are placing massive burdens on existing infrastructure.
Copper networks and 4G wireless have a shelf life. Within the next couple of years, they will no longer be able to service standard demands — much less cutting-edge applications. Ultimately, we all need a network that is built for the new age of connectivity. That network will run on 5G.
