In today's rapidly evolving business environment, having an agile and reliable internet connection is crucial. For small businesses, the average cost of downtime ranges from $137 to $427 per minute1 – an expense many companies simply cannot afford. Temporary connectivity solutions, especially in situations where traditional installations face delays, are becoming increasingly important for businesses to maintain continuity and efficiency. Fixed wireless technology stands out as a go-to option for these scenarios, offering both speed and flexibility.
Whether due to inclement weather, permitting issues, or labor shortages, delays in fiber installations can be a significant setback for businesses – especially those in rural areas. In such situations, finding a rapid and dependable backup solution is essential to ensure uninterrupted service delivery and maintain customer satisfaction.
Fixed wireless emerges as an essential backup solution for businesses in the process of implementing fiber – particularly when a new build is required in an area with no existing fiber infrastructure. There are two key reasons smart businesses utilize fixed wireless as a temporary connectivity solution:
Fixed wireless technology shines in its ability to be deployed quickly. Unlike traditional wired solutions, which require extensive infrastructure work, fixed wireless can be set up in a fraction of the time, providing businesses with an immediate internet connection.
Another significant advantage of fixed wireless is its adaptability to various business scenarios. Whether it’s for a short-term event, a temporary office, or anything in between, fixed wireless can be tailored to meet specific business needs without the long-term commitment or extensive setup required by traditional methods.
