Metro connectivity solutions
Three ways to connect your business
Different locations and business needs call for different connectivity solutions. Here's a quick guide to what each option is best suited for.
A little more detail
Fibre
Fibre can suit offices and business parks with existing building infrastructure. Availability and installation depend on the address and building.
A little more detail
5G
5G can support new or temporary offices, backup needs, and locations waiting for a fibre installation. With a small UPS, a 5G router can stay online during power cuts. Performance varies by location and indoor conditions.
A little more detail
Fixed Wireless
Fixed wireless can be useful where fibre is unavailable or rapid deployment is needed. A site assessment can check signal and line-of-sight conditions.
