As a business grows the need for speed and data throughput generally increases exponentially, since additional staff generates more digital activity and thereby overall traffic within a business, as well as traffic flowing into and out of a business as its links with customers and its supply chain grow accordingly.
Future-proofing a business’ digital capacity is therefore one of the main reasons for deploying the highest possible broadband connection speed. A copper-based connection cannot offer that future-proofing.
Additionally, the asymmetry of ADSL-based services hinders businesses in attaining adequate throughput where remote offices use VPN services or file sharing.
Likewise any hosting or server functions are simply not possible where high speeds are not available.
There are other reasons that have become more apparent in the new era of teleworking:
As cloud computing becomes more ubiquitous, high speed symmetrical connections become essential
Video-conferencing is unsatisfactory over asymmetrical connections
Offices at the same site can be connected at the same speed as remote ones eliminating bottlenecks on the corporate network.
Fibre optic Internet connectivity proudly provided by ZOL, can provide 100M or above bandwidth specification at equal upstream and downstream specification, without much limitation on distances due to its low loss characteristic. It is suitable for high-speed data transmission applications such as Internet TV with full high definition quality with surround sound, streaming full HD videos, uploading/downloading large files, or supporting cloud devices.
As optical fibre transmits via light, the signal is not weakened easily and avoids electromagnetic interference. The signal is therefore very stable, ensuring high-quality broadband Internet access suitable for real-time high-definition multimedia services.
You may find that your office broadband slows down at the busiest times of the day. But as you know, business doesn’t. ZOL Fibroniks for business is different. It understands that you need to get things done urgently, so it’s like a VIP service for your company, consistently fast, even at the busiest times. People cut down on travel time to meetings, because good quality video conferencing is now accessible to even the smallest businesses.
You can speak to colleagues and customers on your laptop, no fancy equipment necessary. The consistent speeds provided by fibre allow lots of people in the office to access the web at the same time.
Faster, more reliable connections to wi-fi mean you can get online from different devices. All this lends itself to better collaboration and ideas sharing. Some businesses have even used this to extend their offering – with ZOL Fibroniks, with ZOL Spot being used to offer wi-fi access not only to employees, but also to customers visiting the office.
And what of the cloud? Effectively it means you keep all your files and information in a virtual “cloud” outside your office. So anyone can access all the information they need from any place on any device, just as easily as if they were in the office. Because fibre optic broadband gives you much faster connection speeds, you can seamlessly upload and download files to and from the cloud when you’re in the office. And, with ZOL Fibroniksfor Business, you can access those files on the move from one of over 200 ZOL spots.
