ADVANCE TO INTERNET THAT OUTPACES DSL AND CABLE

Business internet demands are changing. Copper and cable connections don’t support today’s business connectivity needs for speed, cost, or reliability. Workloads have shifted from desktops to the cloud, and internet is now the backbone of business operations. As a result, internet access is mission-critical to workflows and downtime is synonymous with revenue loss.

SMBs are embracing internet-based tools to boost productivity and reduce operational costs. Microsoft and Google, for instance, offer cloud-based platforms that give employees remote access to Office 365, Google Docs, and video-based collaboration tools like Skype and Google Hangouts — all of which require high-speed, reliable internet access. Even cloud-based printers are tapping into internet capacity. And if the cloud isn’t eating away at corporate bandwidth, mobile devices are. More employees are accessing mobile applications using tablets and smartphones on the job and connecting to internet-based WiFi networks to do so.

Internet-based Workflows Becoming Commonplace

• As many as 90% of SMBs have adopted cloud services1

• SMBs use as many as eight cloud services or applications1

• BYOD is supported by 61% of SMBs2

Economy and Capacity: Internet Choices for SMBsThe affordability and convenience of existing copper lines makes it a tempting option for bootstrapped companies seeking short-term economy. Yet copper-based construction makes these connections more prone to disturbances and downtime. Any short-term deployment gains can be lost to the long-term business disruption and repair costs. Cable internet offers more stability than copper, but capacity is often shared, and signal strength deteriorates over long distances.

Unlike copper or cable internet lines, fiber optic internet can transfer data across long distances with speed and reliability. Reliability of data transfer is ensured because the glass wires cannot conduct electricity and thus is less prone to electrical or static disruptions — either made by humans or nature. For SMBs, the reliability and speed of fiber pays ongoing dividends in the form of increased productivity, less downtime, and reduced maintenance and repair.
