Fiber Network

When it comes to connectivity, the future is all about the fiber network.

Your business depends on connectivity to maximize productivity and revenue. From your business Internet connections to your local area network (LAN), the speed and performance of your fiber network can help you keep pace with day-to-day operations in a demanding and ever-changing marketplace. A fiber network not only provides faster speed and greater bandwidth, but greater reliability and lower total cost of ownership as well.

Fiber Internet services can deliver connectivity speeds of up to 100 Gbps. A superior fiber network solution will also allow you to start with the bandwidth you need and increase capacity as your business requirements change. A fiber network is likely to experience far fewer outages than traditional connections.

When you want to explore the benefits of a fiber network, Spectrum Enterprise can help. As a national provider of scalable fiber technology, we provide a variety of solutions that help America’s largest businesses improve connectivity for operations and business communication.
 

Unleashing potential of a fiber network

In today’s rapidly evolving IT landscape, your network must adapt quickly and scale easily to meet the growing needs and new opportunities. A fiber network can help by enhancing the performance of cloud platforms, supporting remote workforces, strengthening business continuity and improving connections between cloud applications and network users.

Enhancing cloud performance

Access to public and private cloud platforms is critical to competitiveness today. Fast network connections are essential to keeping users connected to the cloud services they rely on and to ensuring high performance for videoconferencing, streaming video and other technologies that rely on latency-free connectivity.

Supporting remote workforces

Fiber networks enable IT teams to overcome the challenges of supporting a distributed workforce. The increased bandwidth capacity of fiber accommodates growing demand for remote access while maintaining consistent performance for users and apps.

Strengthening business continuity

As cyber threats continue to proliferate and more mission-critical applications are run in the cloud, the ability to restore data from backup quickly is essential to ensuring business continuity. High-capacity circuits within a fiber network reinforce network resiliency and enable rapid off-site backup and restoration. Fiber connections also enable IT teams to quickly transport large traffic flows between locations and data centers after a natural disaster, disruption or outage.

Improving connections between users and applications

A fiber network provides the high-capacity circuits required to reliably transport large workloads of critical data between users in distributed locations and applications running in data centers and in the cloud. As more users connect to network resources from outside the corporate office, the high-capacity bandwidth provided by fiber networks enables fast and secure connectivity.

FAQs

What is a fiber network?

A fiber network is an IT network that uses fiber optic cable rather than copper cable or satellite signals to transmit data across networks and sent to the Internet.

How does a fiber network work?

A fiber network transmits data as pulses of light that travel through the glass strands within a fiber optic cable at velocity that approaches the speed of light.

How does a fiber network improve connectivity?

Delivering faster speed and higher bandwidth than other types of Internet connections, fiber networks enable businesses to move more data and run data-intensive applications while enjoying superior performance.
