(StatePoint) For businesses, even minutes of internet connectivity downtime can carry a steep price, with losses averaging more than $100,000 per hour across industries, according to the International Data Corporation.
To protect against this, many organizations have been forced to add a second internet service provider for redundancy. But that strategy only works if there is one available. Businesses in remote and rural areas are often underserved by legacy ISPs operating as regional monopolies, leaving gaps where entire ZIP codes are beyond the reach of traditional or wired providers. And for organizations with multiple locations, finding and managing primary and backup providers introduces a lot of complexity. One study found that enterprise businesses could have more than 20 different ISPs servicing all their locations.
American businesses have long been burdened with the logistical headache of stitching together regional and local internet providers, incompatible hardware, and disparate management tools from multiple vendors – each with separate contracts, rate plans and support models. And for small and medium-sized businesses without the time or IT capacity to manage this complexity, reliable connectivity can feel out of reach.
Fortunately, that’s changing, thanks to technological advancements promising to provide virtually unbreakable connectivity to every ZIP code in the United States. A new business internet solution called SuperBroadband integrates America’s largest 5G network with Starlink, the world’s largest low-Earth orbit satellite fleet, to help businesses stay online through virtually all outages and disruptions. With built-in redundancy and reliable performance with little to no manual intervention, IT teams can focus on more strategic projects. And because it’s delivered with one contract and one bill, it also offers businesses unprecedented simplicity.
Ready to power everything from single-site businesses to complex, multi-location organizations, industry leaders across hospitality, retail, healthcare and oil and gas sectors are already using SuperBroadband to simplify and strengthen the resiliency of their operations.
