Six Business Benefits of Symmetrical ONE GIG Fiber

If you’re a business owner or manager in the Mid-Willamette Valley, Central Oregon, Eastern Oregon or Washington State,
you may have immediate access to the only direct-to-business fiber optic network in the Pacific Northwest.

Minimize Costly Downtime

Network downtime costs a small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) thousand of dollars an hour, according to IDC. Few mid-sized businesses can survive leaking this kind of cash. Because fiber uses light for transmission, it is not vulnerable to electromagnetic frequencies associated with things like high-power lines and lightning. Copper, which uses electrical signals, is susceptible to bad conditions that can slow down or even destroy data in transmissions. If you are seeking a highly reliable Internet connection, choose fiber.

Universal Bandwidth Access

With the growing opportunity to use productivity tools like unified communications or UCaaS your business needs premium bandwidth for all users, Of equal importance is symmetrical bandwidth; equally fast upload and download speeds available only with true ONE GIG fiber. With a fiber connection, you can give all of your employees, regardless of application or load demand, the bandwidth they need to operate at peek efficiency, even as more (profit enhancing) users join the network.

Enhanced Access to the Cloud

More than half (51%) of businesses in the US with less than 50 employees use some kind of cloud service in their business. This includes software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools as well as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms. With real-time, latency-sensitive applications like voice residing in the cloud, a fast and reliable connection is imperative. The more applications and data you move to the cloud, the more you need symmetrical fiber bandwidth.

Reduce Latency

Latency describes the delays that can happen when processing data over a network connection. Traditional cable Internet is rife with latency, which can result in employee frustration and diminished productivity. With the huge amounts of bandwidth supported by fiber, you minimize latency, which is especially important with videoconferencing, streaming video and uploading or downloading large files.

Eliminate Electromagnetic Interference

As discussed, copper cables are sensitive to electromagnetic interference. This interference is caused by nearby machinery—either your own, or those belonging to your neighbors. If you share a building with other businesses, you need to be especially careful that there is no interference with your signals. Fiber resiliency will eliminate this concern, providing greater and more consistent Internet availability.

Increase Productivity & Profitability

The benefits already mentioned will significantly reduce your cost of downtime and interference, while significantly increasing employee productivity, collaboration and customer service. You can also safely move more applications to the cloud, which is a huge money saver—both of CAPEX and OPEX. Perhaps most importantly, your business will be much more flexible and scalable when you switch to fiber, opening up more possibilities to cut costs and enhance revenues across all aspects of your operation.
