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.

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.

Integrating Video Phones Into The Office

Despite significant return on investment increased worker productivity, how many office workers have this tool for their desk? Video phone technology is impressive to say the least and vendors have good cause to showcase these products, but where are they in the everyday lives of an office worker? The reasons many businesses have not adopted this useful technology range from cost concerns to reliability. There’s good news though.

Telecom vendors have taken huge strides in getting advanced technology in the price range of AFFORDABILITY. NWMAP Telecom Brokers have an additional advantage of being able to price multiple vendors’ solutions and find what businesses need for the price they want. Suddenly Video Phones are looking as good as desktop VoIP handsets, and better.

With the variety of Telecom service providers available, there are practical Video Phone options. In low-cost cases, some Video Phones have downsides such as only working with a vendor’s hosted IP service. You don’t have to settle though because many can be found to offer top-line features. Some features like Video Phones with Ethernet ports share a single cable with a desktop PC and IP phone, eliminating the need for additional cables. This advantage alone saves money. You can also opt for the Wi-Fi feature, eliminating the need for dedicated Ethernet altogether. Even small businesses would benefit from basic Video Phone capabilities.
