As more and more consumers use the internet for shopping, information and donations, it’s important that your organisation remains competitive, innovative and agile. Your systems and platforms must be fast, secure, and reliable to allow you to stay ahead of the competition, while offering the best customer experience possible. After all, it only takes one slow, inconsistent, frustrating experience for a customer to shut down your page and search for a new store or service offering.
For this reason, your organisation, whether it’s big or small, needs a high performance, reliable fibre network, such as business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet. This will ensure the experience you offer your customers is consistent and fast, so they return over and over again… And isn’t that what we want?
What is business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet and why do you need it?
business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet is a premium fibre product that is fast, adaptable and designed specifically for organisations – regardless of their size and industry.
When an organisation is running applications that are time sensitive and require consistent bandwidth, those that run on the cloud, or that rely on upload speed as much as download speed, they need a fast and adaptable fibre network. This is where business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet enters stage left.
Data over business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet comes with a symmetrical profile, which means it has the same upload and download speeds. For applications such as cloud computing and video conferencing, uploads can be just as important as downloads to ensure you have consistent connectivity and zero latency.
business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet also offers you the ability to adapt if your business changes – such as an increased number of employees, or more bandwidth-heavy applications – as it can be scaled based on business needs. This allows you to continue being productive, collaborative, and innovative, regardless of changes or disruptions.
How does business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet differ from residential internet services?
Unlike the Internet at home, where the biggest downloads usually involve a blockbuster movie or the latest binge-worthy series, business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet has the ability to support a wide range of business needs and applications. Enterprise Ethernet can:
- Scale up or down, to match increasing employee numbers or the need for more bandwidth-heavy applications
- Prioritise your business applications ahead of residential and other businesses using the same network
- Prioritise data for your business so there’s less congestion and downtime
- Offer superior speeds for more productivity and innovation
Why is it important for your organisation to connect to a fast, reliable network?
Put simply, a premium, reliable network can improve your productivity levels across your entire organisation. Traditional broadband cable or DSL services offer typical speeds between 10 and 30 Mbps (Megabits per second). business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet is much, much faster. And more reliable by a country mile. It runs on a complete fibre network, including dedicated fibre between premises and the Fibre Access Node (FAN).
So, what does this actually mean? business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet is a premium-grade solution that’s designed to optimise performance, help minimise downtime, and boost productivity.
- Fast Internet access ensures employees are more productive and satisfied. Time wasted on slow Internet speeds is frustrating as well as a waste of time.
- A fast, reliable network can reduce costs through better, streamlined processes and by reducing costly redundancies.
- Poor Internet performance can act as a barrier to cloud applications. business nbn® Ethernet Enterprise ensures organisations can access new products to support business success.
- Remote working opportunities are increased with a fast, reliable network. This means clients, customers, staff and partners can collaborate more efficiently, no matter where they are.
- Traditional Internet services can suffer from latency issues, especially during peak times. Enterprise Ethernet can handle large uninterrupted data transfers and offers more efficient use of cloud-based applications.
