NBN's role in today's core business functions
March 24, 2015 11:59 pmToday, there are still plenty of businesses across Australia that are experiencing difficulties with their core business operations due to inadequate Internet connectivity.
The lack of a decent broadband connection has hindered many businesses from achieving their true potential. Along with having the right infrastructure, enough manpower and resources to grow, high-speed Internet connectivity is necessary in keeping up with today’s highly competitive market.
Furthermore, speeds of 2 to 3 Mbps downloads that were considered to be fast before, are now insufficient to support a business’ operations. Now, fast speeds means at least 25Mbps download and at least 3 Mbps upload. Speeds like this enable users to work remotely through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), stream HD videos, and hold videoconferences among team members or with customers in remote areas.
NBN wireless plans come at a time when it is needed the most. Businesses with sufficient internet connectivity have a greater likelihood of being more profitable than the ones that don’t have it simply because they have a greater ability to perform key business functions. NBN’s high-speed Internet helps Australian home and business owners keep up with the rest of the world in terms of Internet speed.
The power of good broadband connection must not be underestimated, not only in terms of personal use at home, but businesses as well, be it home-based or office-based. The National Broadband Network paves the way for future jobs in the technology sector, communications firms, manufacturing plants, and a whole lot more.
