We have all experienced the feeling that comes with losing the internet—it stinks. Internet loss seems to always happen at the most inopportune times, and while it can be frustrating for an individual, it can be devastating for a business. 

Today’s businesses are built atop sound internet connections. Historically, and still today, internet connections for most businesses are obtained directly through wired connectivity. These wired connections have allowed businesses to grow and take advantage of the internet to communicate and become a platform for distributing goods, taking orders, and so on.  However, the use of wired connections is limiting and expensive to deploy, and if damaged, it can result in long service outages that have a significant impact on a customer’s business. 

With every technology, there is a point where it becomes outdated and recognized as “older or mature” technology. As a company focused on helping companies succeed with the use of fast and reliable internet connectivity, MACH Networks is confident that LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology has begun to displace wired connectivity as the preferred internet solution for today’s businesses. LTE technology is already acting as a catalyst to the Internet of Things, new applications, and greater productivity.

LTE was first deployed as a failover solution but has quickly gained recognition as a viable solution for primary connectivity. 4G LTE offers speeds of up to 100Mbps that is secure and highly reliable connectivity. This flexibility can be deployed quickly and support a wide variety of applications.

To understand why LTE would be better than a traditional internet service, consider the following.

Advantages of LTE Over Traditional Internet

1. Range

No matter how strong your router may be, no Wi-Fi connection has the range of an LTE connection. Devices on the network are connected via cell towers, which means they can extend for miles. A traditional internet Wi-Fi connection is limited to less than 200 feet. For smaller companies, such as startups, this may not be much of an issue; but if you’re operating as an enterprise, it will feel restrictive.

2. Productivity

Thanks to the broader range, employees can leave the office more often while still getting work done. If there are a few tasks that need finishing, a lunch break doesn’t have to be sacrificed to get it done. Whether it’s just answering a few emails on their phone or finishing up a major report on the computer, LTE can make it happen.

3. Expanded Solutions

LTE also promotes improved access to the Internet of Things or IoT. Referring to the network shared by everything from smartwatches to security devices, IoT needs a robust and reliable connection to maximize its potential. If IoT features heavily in your operations or services, the dependability of LTE makes things go by much smoother.
