Advantages of Fiber Networks

The advantages of a Fiber Network can be substantial for businesses small to large. In most industries, businesses search for the best technology, learn what’s available, and implement it in an efficient and inexpensive way. Fiber Optics technology has been improving the way we live and do business for many years now. For example, it is used in both medical and mechanical imaging, from plumbing to space shuttles. Most significantly, it has changed the way we communicate.

With a Fiber Network, a business can save money, just in the way it takes less fiber optic wires than copper wires to do the same job. Because they take up less space, more can be used to cover more distance and capabilities. And because they use less power with a better signal, you get better services, clearer, less interrupted signals, and still save money.

Where safety is concerned, Fiber Networks are unbeatable. Not only are less wires needed, they do not transmit electricity and therefore do not cause fires. There are no tangled, fringed, or overly complicated and bundled up wires taking up space on the ground. Cable wires are also much heavier and bulky compared to the fiber optic wires. If the message isn’t clear here; Fiber Networks are something every business should be looking into. You can’t afford not to.

Fiber Networks; High Capacity and Affordability

Why Fiber networks for your business? Fiber optical networks address issues with  increases in bandwidth usage and affordability for today’s competitive business’ needs. This technology provides substantially greater bandwidth  to carry more data while being less effected by interference, and data is transferred digitally. If your business demands high speed and reliable voice and data technology, then a supported fiber network is in your future, if you haven’t already employed this useful technology.

Fiber is the future. Someday in the near future almost all communications will involve fiber optics.  Traditional metal cable and telephone lines are steadily being replaced by fiber networks. In order for a business to thrive, they must have consistent access to data and accountable connectivity to access information constantly. Communications play a key role in business success, whether it be web conferencing or transmission of data, the speed and reliability of fiber networks can’t be beat.

If you haven’t already run into speed, connectivity, interference, or reliability issues with your current LAN or WAN, then it’s still a terrific idea to check out how you can save on overall costs and never have to experience performance issues. NWMAP agents can assist your business with your fiber network needs.

Telecom Agents~ Confusion About Integra Telecom Fiber Lit Buildings

Integra Telecom would like to clear up some confusion concerning the expression, “lit building”. Integra has its own fiber in that building. Agents may be under the impression that, because a building is ‘lit’, you can automatically sell access via that fiber without further ado.

 That is not always the case. Just because a building is lit, does not mean they can provide the service to sell. Sometimes gear can be added to accommodate other tenants, but that change requires a Build Cost Justification (iCert) and it is a significant cost. The iCert can take days or weeks to gather information.

 When you inquire whether a building has Integra fiber in it, Integra can give you a yes or a no. They will not investigate which equipment it has. Because Integra gets several requests with the question (‘is it lit?’), it can take a lot of time to do checks on each building. So, the moral of the story here is you don’t sell fiber access the way you sell DSL. If you have a serious lead in a building, and you want to know if they can provide services via Integra fiber, you must provide following details;

  • How much bandwidth is being requested?
  • Is the hand-off electrical or optical?
  • Does the circuit need any form of ‘protection’?
  • Is the customer willing to cover the cost of the demark extension (this is frequently needed, and Integra does not cover it)?

*A capacity check can take a day or so and ask for ICB price (all fiber builds/augments are ICBs – there is no ‘standard’ price to augment a fiber install). Thank you in advance to all our Agents.
