Business Internet Access

Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) is a high-speed, high-performance internet connection typically reserved for a single business or organization. Unlike shared broadband, DIA provides symmetric upload and download speeds over private fiber-optic lines or leased circuits.

Fiber Optic Internet, sometimes called Fiber Optic Cable Internet, is the transmission of data by light signals that travel on a fiber encased in a cable. The signal is known for being extremely fast and especially strong over large distances – up to 40 miles, without having to boost the signal.

Fiber optic cables send data at a rate that is only 31% slower than the speed of light. This equates to a capacity of about 250-1000 megabytes per second. Cable broadband connections have a maximum of only 50 megabytes per second.

Unlike copper telephone lines used for broadband internet services, fiber optic cables can carry large bundles of information at one time. Telephone lines were only meant to transfer audio (phone conversations), whereas optic cables were designed to handle all types of data including video, text, and multimedia.

Fiber optic and cable broadband internet systems both use fiber optic cables to transfer data from one location to another. It’s actually the means of covering the distance between your nearest local street cabinet and your office building that separates a fiber optic connect from a cable one.

With a cable broadband system, the fiber optic cables end at your street cabinet. From there they are sent to your office building via copper telephone line.

With a fiber optic system, data is sent from the street cabinet to your office via coaxial cable – a thick type of electrical cable that transmits signals more effectively.

Compare Fiber to DSL and Cable technologies that transmit data over copper wires, which are sensitive to electrical disruptions, and can only travel up to about 300 meters without needing a signal boost.

Fixed Wireless is the operation of wireless devices to connect two fixed locations with a radio or other wireless link. It’s point-to-point “line of sight.” A Fixed Wireless solution is often a cost-effective alternative to leasing fiber or installing cables between buildings. Businesses use Fixed Wireless as transport bandwidth or dedicated Internet access. Bandwidth speeds reach 10x10 Gbps.

Radio frequencies range from 900 mhz to 80 ghz using licensed, light licensed and unlicensed bands. Fixed Wireless customers work with property owners, and abide by zoning and municipal ordinances, to get approval before installation can begin.

While many organizations only consider a fixed wireless solution when no physical wired network is available, there are several good reasons to look at fixed wireless. One reason is that companies may have a wired, but unreliable connection. Another is that the physical wired connection only provides limited bandwidth. Fixed Wireless is also a contender as a redundant or managed failover solution to existing internet service.

Most Fixed Wireless solutions require a clear line of sight between the customer location and the service provider's radio equipment. During the site survey, technicians evaluate factors such as building placement, terrain, and potential obstructions to determine service availability and optimal performance.

Fully managed and secure, Wireless Broadband delivers high-speed wireless Internet service to any location in the United States. Fusion Connect provides all the necessary equipment with Wireless Broadband service. When it is part of a failover solution, Fusion Connect manages and monitors the network for optimal performance.

There are six reasons why businesses elect to implement a wireless broadband solution.

1. Only minimal equipment and wiring is required.
2. It allows for 100% coverage of locations.
3. It is an affordable backup to existing primary wireline services.
4. Available in a multi-carrier eSIM configuration
5. It supports multiple users per site.
6. Affordable pricing plans depending on your business needs: pooled, non-pooled, and failover plans.

Satellite internet is a wireless internet service that uses satellites orbiting Earth to transmit data between a user’s satellite dish and a network operations center. It provides connectivity in remote locations where wired options like DSL or fiber are unavailable. This makes it a viable solution for businesses in rural areas with limited internet options.

Performance depends on satellite provider, service plan, and hardware. Newer services like Starlink satellite internet offer faster internet speeds and lower latency than earlier generations. A typical setup includes a Starlink kit or similar hardware with a satellite dish, modem, and Wi-Fi router. While satellite internet may experience slower speeds or signal delays in poor weather, it supports business needs like video conferencing, cloud access, and hotspot connectivity.

The satellites Fusion Connect services use are approximately 341 miles from earth (Low Earth Orbit or LEO) vs the 621 miles and higher for older satellite internet providers.
