Small businesses need fibre connectivity to be within reach of their customers at all times. When it comes to fast, reliable communication lines, nothing beats fibre optic cable. After all, you don’t want to lose a client over dodgy phone service.
You also need to give your customers multiple options to contact you. Your teams need to collaborate continuously, and a high-speed internet connection is a necessity, not a luxury. Australia’s state-of-the-art fibre optic communication network gives you access to more than 90% of its population.
What is a Fibre Optic Network?
Fibre networks use threads of glass or plastic to transmit pulses of infrared light instead of running electric currents over traditional copper wires. By manipulating specific properties of light, this technology can send information across large distances at very high speeds. These are the speeds that most Australian residents expect to work efficiently.
How is Fibre Different from Other Business Internet Services?
The large number of different phone and internet alternatives available out there could easily confuse the business buyer. What you need to know about fibre, copper, and wireless networks is the bandwidth that each can provide.
Fibre bandwidths can go up to 1000 Mbps – perfect for data-heavy teleconferencing or using applications on the cloud. Copper internet cannot go past a few hundred Mbps. Wireless networks have speeds comparable to fibre, but wireless signal quality goes down with distance from the broadcasting tower.
Why Fibre is Your Best Internet for Business?
Increased Speeds with Fibre Optic Connections
The same fibre optic cable that connects you to the internet can be used to make simultaneous phone calls while sending documents along. Fibre optic cables support internet speed ranges between 5 Mbps and 1000 Mbps. Slow connectivity can be costly in terms of person-hours lost waiting for files to download.
Weather Doesn’t Affect Fibre Networks
Internet over fibre is inherently immune to inclement weather conditions. Fibre is stronger and lasts far longer than copper. Electrical and physical disturbances cannot dislodge fibre optic connections. Signal quality, too, remains stronger over a larger distance than on traditional copper cables. Copper cables are known to suffer from signal degradation with distance.
Reliability
Fibre lines are more reliable than copper or wireless internet because unless the lines are physically cut, virtually no interference will occur with the light signal. Maximize uptime with 99.99% availability.
Large Files Transferred Quickly
You can enjoy a range of services with a complete fibre optic telecom package, including high-quality audio-video streaming, file sharing, and cloud applications on a dedicated bandwidth.
By allowing your office personnel the ability to download large files at consistent speeds, you can push work faster, enable both sharing and operational transparency. This also helps you to increase collaboration and productivity.
Security
You can’t cable tap a fibre optic line or interfere with data that is being sent across by any simple method. If someone does manage to cut the cable, the signal will dissipate.
Data breaches need to be guarded against by law. You may face stiff penalties for such breaches. All companies, regardless of their size, are susceptible to security breaches, and one should safeguard against them with the best technology available.
Dedicated Bandwidth
By bandwidth, we mean the maximum rate at which information is transferred on the internet line. If there are many users on a single line contending for the same data demand, transfer rates get distributed among them.
