The types available.
WHAT FIBRE PROVIDES
High speed both ways Low latency Stability Capacity for growth
WHAT IT REQUIRES
Physical cable to the premises, which is not available everywhere.
WHAT FIXED WIRELESS PROVIDES
Service without laying cable Reasonable speeds Faster installation
WHAT IT COSTS
Sensitivity to weather, obstruction and line of sight, and shared capacity at the base station.
WHAT SATELLITE PROVIDES
Coverage anywhere with a clear view of the sky Independence from local infrastructure
WHAT IT COSTS
Higher price, hardware cost, and dependence on weather.
WHY LOW-ORBIT SATELLITE CHANGED THIS
Latency is far lower than older satellite services, which makes calls and interactive use practical.
WHAT MOBILE DATA PROVIDES
Immediate availability Portability Low commitment
WHAT IT COSTS
Data caps, variable speed, and congestion.
WHAT LEASED LINES AND DEDICATED CIRCUITS PROVIDE
Guaranteed capacity, not shared Contractual service commitments Symmetric speeds
WHAT THEY COST
Substantially more.
WHO THEY SUIT
Businesses where downtime is expensive.
WHAT MOST BUSINESSES END UP WITH
A primary connection and a different-technology backup.
WHY DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY
Failures frequently affect a whole technology or provider at once.
