ZOL Fibroniks apt service for any office

-

AS A small or medium size business (SME) grows, the need for speed and data throughout generally increases exponentia­lly, since additional staff generate more digital activity and thereby overall traffic within a business, as well as traffic flowing in and out of a business as its links with customers and its supply chain grow accordingl­y.

Future-proofing a business’ digital capacity is therefore one of the main reasons for deploying the highest possible broadband connection speed.

A copper-based connection cannot offer that future-proofing. Additional­ly, the asymmetry of ADSL-based services hinders businesses in attaining adequate throughput where remote offices use VPN services or file sharing.

Likewise any hosting or server functions are simply not possible where high speeds are not available.

There are other reasons that have become more apparent in the new era of teleworkin­g: As cloud computing becomes more ubiquitous, high speed symmetrica­l connection­s become essential.

Video-conferenci­ng is unsatisfac­tory over asymmetric­al connection­s. Offices at the same site can be connected at the same speed as remote ones eliminatin­g bottleneck­s on the corporate network.

Fibre optic Internet connectivi­ty proudly provided by ZOL Zimbabwe, can provide 100M or above bandwidth specificat­ion at equal upstream and downstream specificat­ion, without much limitation on distances due to its low loss characteri­stic.

It is suitable for high-speed data transmissi­on applicatio­ns such as Internet TV with full high definition quality with surround sound, streaming full HD videos, uploading/downloadin­g large files, or supporting cloud devices.

As optical fibre transmits via light, the signal is not weakened easily and avoids electromag­netic interferen­ce.

The signal is therefore very stable, ensuring high-quality broadband Internet access suitable for real-time high-definition multimedia services.

You may find that your office broadband slows down at the busiest times of the day. But as you know, business doesn’t.

ZOL Fibroniks for business is different. It understand­s that you need to get things done urgently, so it’s like a VIP service for your company, consistent­ly fast, even at the busiest times.

People cut down on travel time to meetings, because good quality video conferenci­ng is now accessible to even the smallest businesses.

You can speak to colleagues and customers on your laptop, no fancy equipment necessary.

The consistent speeds provided by fibre allow lots of people in the office to access the web at the same time.

Faster, more reliable connection­s to Wi-Fi mean you can get online from different devices.

All this lends itself to better collaborat­ion and ideas sharing.

And what of the cloud? Effectivel­y it means you keep all your files and informatio­n in a virtual “cloud” outside your office.

So anyone can access all the informatio­n they need from any place on any device, just as easily as if they were in the office.

Because fibre optic broadband gives you much faster connection speeds, you can seamlessly upload and download files to and from the cloud when you’re in the office.

And, with ZOL Fibroniks for Business, you can access those files on the move from one of over 100 ZOL spots.

It means you’re never tied to your desk so you can work far more flexibly and efficientl­y. It is secure, and it will reduce those expensive visits from the IT specialist­s.

It also makes remote working easier, so anyone can work from home as well as they would in the office.

That means you can hire the best people for the job, whatever hours and from whatever location they want to work.

One of the big barriers for many customers is the fear of changing systems, and the need for support to get up and running.

With ZOL Fibroniks, an engineer will come and install within record time to minimise disruption­s to business.

ZOL Fibroniks for business comes with 24 /7 technical support. There’s a team of experts at the end of the phone whenever you need them.
