How Fiber Internet Connectivity Enhances Business Functions

Organizations can significantly benefit from enhanced signal strength across the business as the fiber-optic internet's signal strength does not deteriorate quickly over distance.

Fremont, CA: Fiber-optic connectivity offers significant benefits to organizations, especially those that use the cloud for apps or data storage. Although fiber-optic connectivity is fairly new compared to broadband internet on copper cable, many companies have had higher returns on their investment in fiber-optic internet connectivity.

Here are six benefits of fiber internet connectivity for businesses:

Cloud Access

The cloud is a vital business tool for apps and hosting, among others. Fiber internet's speed and bandwidth can allow faster access to data and applications stored in the cloud.

Businesses will have fewer delays in accessing cloud-hosted information through SaaS tools and other platforms, thus sales and customer service representatives will not face delays in communication with customers.

Signal Strength

Organizations can significantly benefit from enhanced signal strength across the business as the fiber-optic internet's signal strength does not deteriorate quickly over distance.

Bandwidth

Fiber-optic internet's bandwidth availability is relatively higher, and the speed does not decrease when high demands are put on the network such as SIP trunking, web Conferencing, streaming high definition videos, file sharing, and cloud applications.

Security

The only method to get through fiber-optic internet is to physically cut the fibers, which will make the signal disappear, thus making it a strong way to optimize a company's security against cyber-crime.

Reliability

Fiber-optic internet is not vulnerable to weather conditions, which can ruin or delay data transmission through copper cabling. It is also resistant to human or electrical interference as long as the fibers are not physically cut.

Speed

Fiber-optic internet connectivity is faster than the highest-speed copper internet connection, and it has options that range from 5Mbps to 100 Gbps. Companies will notice that the internet does not slow down during periods of high demand for internet access.
