How Fiber Meets Modern Networking Needs With businesses pushing more data through the cloud and interacting with customers through mobile apps online, the need for fast, reliable and robust connectivity is changing network requirements for many businesses. For transmitting large amounts of data in the fastest time possible, fiber optic networks have the advantage. Fiber-optic cables not only stand light-years ahead of copper lines and DSL, but offer distinct benefits over coaxial cable in terms of speed and reliability. Fiber has scalable capacity and the ability to support synchronous transfer—with upload speeds as fast as downloads. Fiber can be valuable for larger enterprises, the financial sector, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and more. What Exactly Is Fiber-Optic Cable? The fiber cable consists of bundled glass fibers inside of multiple protective layers. Data moves along a silica core(s) instead of metal wires. The cable’s inner core can actually accommodate many silica cores, which transmit data in the form of light. This allows fiber to move data at extreme speeds (as much as 10 Gbps for both download and upload) and at high capacity, even for long distances. Unlike metal conductors, silica does not cause interference. Other kinds of cable naturally emit small levels of electromagnetic waves that hinder performance. With fiber, data enjoys smooth sailing—without losing speed and quality as distance increases, unlike other network types. Flexible, Reliable, Fast: How Fiber Delivers Fiber provides a top-notch service that delivers its greatest value to businesses that greatly depend on network performance. The key benefits of fiber include: • Large capacity. Businesses are running more applications in the cloud, with file sizes getting larger. Big data needs big bandwidth. • Synchronous transfers. Internal and external applications run better when upload and download speeds are the same. • Scalable for your needs. Businesses have the choice to receive speeds anywhere from 100Mbps up to 10Gbps, getting the performance level that fits the needs of their business. • Reliable uptime. Providers can work with fiber users to understand and meet needs. Spectrum Business even guarantees uptime as part of service agreements. The Right Choice for a Growing Number of Businesses Fiber services typically cost more than other options, and installation may be necessary in many locations. However, depending on size and computing needs, fiber makes the most sense for many businesses. With increased demand for better and faster networks, the number and variety of businesses that benefit from fiber will grow. In short, fiber presents the best solution for industries with demand for large bandwidth capacity, lengthy uptimes, and the power to transfer at high speeds for both upload and download.
