Irvine Ethernet over Copper

If you are a new business owner starting out, or if you are a small business owner experiencing rapid growth you may want to pause and take some time to consider your IT services. Surely you have a lot on your plate, but the truth is that business IT options are constantly evolving. If you don't step back and take the time to assess your current Internet solutions and consider new options you may be missing out. One of the most recent developments in IT solutions is Ethernet over Copper. In this article we would like to give you a brief overview of this solution since it is commonly an effective solution for small and medium sized businesses.

If you are currently working with or considering a T1 circuit or a bonded T1 circuit for your business, you should note that Ethernet over Copper is priced much lower. Additionally, the amount of service, or circuit speed, is much easier to upgrade with Ethernet over Copper than with Internet Bonded T1. While both are scalable, T1 requires the phone company to come in and install an additional loop. As you know scheduling of installations typically results in wait time. With Ethernet over Copper you can truly increase the circuit speed instantly through online management. This ensures that you are only paying for the service that you need at all times, rather than paying for extraneous service that you do not have the capacity to make use of. Another cost saving benefit of Ethernet over Copper comes from the fact that it runs over simple, traditional copper lines. By using these basic telephone wires you save yourself the cost of building out a fiber system. The use of Copper wires instead of fiber is also beneficial because it promises increased reliability. The copper wires are run in multiple pairs. Because of this, if one pair shorts or malfunctions your data will continue to travel at the same rate by utilizing the other wires in the copper connection. This reliability not only gives you confidence as a business owner, but it also reflects well on your business.

Although Ethernet over Copper is a wonderful new solution for business IT connections, it does have some limitation. The most significant limitation is availability. Currently Ethernet over Copper is available exclusively in metropolitan area. The reach of this service is expanding every day and businesses in Irvine are currently covered by Ethernet over Copper. If you are a business owner starting out or if your business is expanding, or if you are simply comparing options and considering updating your IT service you should take some time to look into the benefits of Ethernet over Copper.
