One Stop Communications : Data Services


	Ease of installation – Increasing transmission capacity on traditional wire cables generally makes them thicker and more rigid to install, hence fibre is much easier to install. They can also run along the same routes as electric cables without picking up excessive noise.

	Data Security - Fibre is the most secure medium available for carrying sensitive data.

	Non hazardous - In some cases, transmitting signals electrically can be extremely dangerous. Most electric potentials create small sparks. The sparks ordinarily pose no danger, but can be really bad in a chemical plant or oil refinery where the air is contaminated with potentially explosive vapours. Fibre optic cables do not produce sparks since they do not carry current.

Access to the internet can be provided via broadband or Fiber optic Broadband. With speeds of up to 16Mb to 80Mb and continuous connectivity to the internet, waiting for downloads will no longer be an issue. Through our selected ISP partners, Business customers will be able to receive the following benefits:

	Fixed rate monthly pricing – however much you use it.

	Always on – unlimited access.

	Speeds up to 80Mb (download).

	Use of business phone line whilst online.

Fibre-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fibre. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. First developed in the 1970s, fibre-optic communication systems have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major role in the advent of the Information Age.

Because of its advantages over electrical transmission, optical fibres have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world. Benefits of fibre are detailed below:

	High bandwidth over long distances – Supports speeds in excess of 100 Gigabits.

	Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fibre is less than in copper wire.
