  What is a High Capacity Data Solution? |
An Ethernet connection that is 5 Mbps or greater burstable bandwidth Ethernet/Internet service that is delivered via fiber optic and 10/100 Ethernet cable, terminates on the router at the customer premise, and having static IP addresses and 15 e-mail accounts. |
| What is Ethernet? |
Ethernet is a type of local area network, a way of connecting computers, printers, terminals, and/or servers. It operates over twisted wire, coaxial cable, and fiber. |
| What would be considered burstable data traffic? |
Burstable data traffic would mean that information is not being sent constantly 24x7. |
| What is an IP address? |
An IP address is to the Internet what your home address is to the US postal service; assigned typically to your router. |
| What is a router used for? |
A router is a piece of hardware that connects an internal LAN (local area network) to the Internet. |
| What is a LAN (local area network)? |
A local area network consists of computers, printers, and other devices connected together on one network. |
| What is bandwidth? |
Bandwidth is the capacity for transmitting data over a communications network. |
| What is bps (bits per second)? |
Measure of the speed of a data communication. |
| What is Mbps (megabits per second)? |
A measurement indicating that one million bits of information travel a certain distance in one second. |
| What is a 10/100 Ethernet? |
A network having either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps on the port. |
| What is a port? |
The physical interface between a device and a circuit. |
| What is a circuit? |
A physical connection of channels, conductors, and equipment between two given points over which an electrical current can be established. |
| What could I compare this to? |
It is about 15 times the speed of a cable modem. |
| What are fiber optic cables? |
Cables made from pure glass. |
| What are the advantages of fiber over copper cable? |
Fiber carries much more information over a longer distance without loss of a signal. |
| What is SONET (Synchronized Optical Network)? |
A self healing network using fiber optic cable for transmitting data and telecommunications. |
| What happens if an accident occurs and there is a break in the fiber? |
SONET technology is installed on our network to cause the data to be redirected (redundancy) to an alternate route if the fiber breaks. |
| What type of extra equipment is necessary to install? |
Our Ethernet data product will plug directly into your router! |
When would you need a High Capacity Data Solution?
- If you have 10 or more users.
- If you send CAD (computer aided design) files or other large files.
- If you are running an FTP, World Wide Web server.
|
If your current high-speed connection is too slow. |
| How will this help my business? |
a) More efficient, saves you money.
b) No extra equipment, connection plugs directly into your router. |
| How long would it take before the High Capacity connection is installed? |
Typically it is between 3 to 6 weeks. |
| What does this cost? |
Pricing starts at $950.00 for a 36 month contract for a 5 Mbps connection. |
