SME Data Connectivity Solution – Why Fixed LTE Is For You

It’s sort of been accepted as a fact that fibre is the answer, no matter what the question is. We’d argue that this isn’t the case and that answer should only ever be “the Internet” because a reliable internet connection has become a staple necessity to life. Not necessarily the solution that provides you with said Internet connectivity.

Look, it doesn’t matter if you’re just a private person, merrily pottering along, a fledgling business, or a large company, we’re all in the same position of needing the Internet. 

We need it to connect, engage, share, store, assess, buy, sell, and so much more. Since the mid 2000s, that connection was provided by ADSL, however the challenges of copper theft and weather interference quickly made it clear that better solutions were needed. Thankfully different connectivity solutions have been introduced to the market – in the form of LTE and then a few years later, through fibre. 

The question is now whether fibre the right data connectivity solution for your small-to-medium (SME) business or are there more affordable and better options available?

Why Fibre Has Become The Go-To

Fibre, or FTTx (which stands for ‘Fibre To The x’ where ‘x’ is the designated infrastructure, like your home or office) has quite rightly been an excellent connectivity solution for homes and businesses. 

Essentially, fibre relies on cables of thin glass fibre threads bundled together, using light to carry digital data signals. For that reason, fibre isn’t affected by bad weather and isn’t dependent on how far you are from a network tower.

What this means is that you’ll enjoy a reliable connection with unlimited information at superspeed. It’s not surprising that fibre is touted as the latest and most advantageous connectivity method in the country.

3 Reasons To Look Beyond Fibre

Does it seem like fibre is your only reliable option? The short answer is that it isn’t. The long answer is that while fibre has definite benefits, it is not without its challenges.

For starters, coverage can be limited as many fibre network operators are still completing the roll out of their infrastructure all over the country. Additionally, fibre requires installation which is not only another thing that has to happen, but is also pricey. 

Third and lastly is the fact that there are other options out there. Options like fixed LTE, which offers wider coverage, faster speeds, and proven reliability. Moreover, while it’s all the speed and capacity that you get with fibre, you won’t have to suffer through the hassle of digging up your property. It’s the very definition of ‘plug and play’ Internet.

It’s also much cheaper, which in this economy is no small thing.

The Huge Connect Fixed LTE Solution

We can’t speak to other fixed LTE services, but our Huge Connect solution gives you the opportunity to pay for what you use and not make payments based on set bundles with an allotted rate per gigabyte (GB).

What this means is that you’ll only pay for what you use when you use it (at the best pricing possible) and you’ll avoid committing to higher bundles just to get better rates (unless you want to), as well as carry overs, top ups, or being penalised for using more data. 

Here’s a snapshot of how you’ll benefit from the Huge Connect Fixed LTE service:

• Only pay for data when you use it. 
• Proactive monitoring on the status of your Primary and Fixed LTE Backup Link. 
• Ability to aggregate backup data usage across your multiple sites. 
• Seamlessly connect over to the Huge Connects Fixed LTE network as a backup link when your Primary Broadband Access Link fails or is temporarily unavailable.

We also understand that the service you choose will ultimately depend on your needs, which is why our consultants take the time to ask the right questions and examine your needs. This allows us to offer you the right solution with the connection speed, the stability, reliability, and of course, the price that suits your business.
