Internet Access
Fiber Optic
SPEED
Fiber connections have many advantages. The first advantage is speed. With a fiber connection, you are able to support speeds from 1Mbps to 1Gbps depending on the equipment you have installed at each end. With this kind of speed, data can be sent out or received quickly with minimal delay. Data center nightly backups that take eight to ten hours using a T-1 line, can be completed in less than an hour with a 100Mbps fiber Internet connection.
CAPACITY
The next advantage is flexibility. Fiber can provide capacity to allow your Internet traffic to burst from 1Mbps to 100Mbps or more as your network demands require. The newest high speed fiber connections now are being expanded to 10GE connections(10Gbps). The same fiber optic connection can support all these speeds without the need to install new facilities. The only changes required are the router interfaces capable of supporting 100Mbps, 1Gbps or 10GE speeds.
FIBER vs. COPPER
Fiber is the most reliable transport medium for connecting to the Internet. Unlike copper- based internet solutions such as Business DSL , Bonded Copper T-1s or Coax Cable modem data services, fiber internet connections are not affected by the elements which can include rain, wind, heat, cold or electrical interference. This is why fiber optic Internet solutions are the most reliable in the industry. Fiber optic internet connections are generally also buried in rigid conduits that run underground along well marked paths. Fiber networks are installed with longer runs with minimal splice points insuring fewer points of failure compared to copper-based telco solutions. Since fiber equipment is also more advanced, it can be fixed remotely rather than requiring a truck roll, as with copper-based networks.BRI is now able to connect your business to our fiber network providing you with the most reliable, high-speed connection possible.
