Get the best internet for your brand with Enterprise Internet Access

SEACOM Business offers Enterprise Internet Access to businesses across South Africa, which gives them the connection they need to take their digital offerings to the next level. Fibre internet has changed the way businesses operate. The boardroom has been replaced by video conferencing, customer call centres are changing into multi-channel communications and many industries are incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into their daily processes.

Enterprise Internet Access offers superior cloud computing potential, both in terms of running internal operations and for customer engagement. Virtual collaboration, data storage and backups require a robust internet connection that is stable and lightning fast. Having excellent internet access gives organisations a competitive edge. Without this, businesses fall behind in their ability to respond to changing economic climates and consumer demands.

Innovation and efficiency are the by-products of having Enterprise Internet Access. This leads to cost savings and increased profit margins as work operations are streamlined and modified according to evolving needs. By tapping into SEACOM’s award-winning fibre network, medium to large organisations in South Africa can keep up with big international rivals, using the latest fibre-optic solutions to ensure a bright future in business.

Enterprise Internet Access backed by leading SLAs

SEACOM’s vast network of subsea cables and terrestrial fibre networks bring connectivity directly to offices throughout South Africa. While fibre is certainly the best connectivity option currently available, not all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer the same quality internet. Before signing up for fibre, businesses need to be aware that ISPs have different Service Level Agreements (SLA) that determine the quality of the service provided.

Upon doing some research, it’s possible to realise that some SLAs don’t ensure maximum internet uptime. This means that users experience regular drops in connectivity. Our industry-leading SLA gives businesses round-the-clock connectivity, with a support team on hand 24/7 should any issues arise.

SEACOM offers Enterprise Internet Access

A mark of high-quality internet is whether it’s capped or throttled. Details of this are often found in the fine print and these limitations are imposed in order to reduce the cost of the internet service. However, it may be a case of “saving the pennies to spend the pounds” because when an internet line is capped, it means that the connection will be cut off after a certain amount of bandwidth has been used.

With a throttled line, users will still be able to access the internet after they have reached their bandwidth ceiling, but internet speeds are dramatically reduced. For businesses that depend on an internet connection, having a capped or throttled line can have negative consequences that can seriously interfere with business operations.

Our Enterprise Internet Access is uncapped and unthrottled. Users can expect speeds that are consistently high with very low latency. Large packets of data can be sent and received without experiencing delays. Fibre is the fastest way to send and receive data. This facilitates high-speed digital communication and clears the way for services such as cloud-based accounting, virtual cyber security and instant file sharing.

Having symmetrical upload and download speeds is another feature of high-quality Enterprise Internet Access. Equal speeds mean that the line is steady and users can anticipate how long certain actions will take. The difference between having a symmetrical and unsymmetrical line might not be felt with simple actions such as emailing or web browsing. However, when taken to scale, internet-based operations can require a lot of processing and having a symmetrical line ensures that workflows can be properly planned. For example, scheduled backups can be set up to take place in off-peak hours and completed timeously.

Dedicated Enterprise Internet Access with last-mile fibre connectivity

SEACOM Business’s Enterprise Internet Access is highly secure. Companies have a dedicated line that is not shared with any other users. This allows organisations to design their own networks, establishing traffic routing paths between various business locations. Medium to large organisations benefit the most from Enterprise Internet Access because traffic can be routed between specific geographical locations, whether it be between offices, nationwide branches or data centres.

This ensures that specific business operations are prioritised and all parts of the organisation have highly secure direct access to the company’s network. As a company grows in size or adds new locations, the fibre network can be updated to cater for these changes.

Fibre-optic cables are brought directly to a company’s premises with last-mile fibre connectivity. This gives organisations the option of using an ethernet connection, which can be much more stable than WiFi when used with networks, devices and other web-enabled equipment. Ethernet connectivity is ideal for companies that have incorporated IoT technologies. It also provides extremely stable and high-quality voice over internet protocol (VoIP) functionality.

Enterprise Internet Access for businesses

Fibre is the most affordable way to bring high-quality internet connectivity to a company. Fibre connectivity is unmatched in terms of reliability and quality. Fibre optic cables offer higher broadband speeds compared to copper-based ADSL systems or wireless connectivity. As data is sent along copper lines, it faces a number of potential interferences, including poor weather or cable theft.

Fibre connections transfer data at the speed of light. There is no possibility of electromagnetic interference because fibre does not transmit data using an electric current. This also means that they do not use as much electricity, which brings money-saving benefits for companies.

Businesses looking to take their digital operations to the next level need to make sure they are using the best technologies available. SEACOM Business’s Enterprise Internet Access is an affordable and scalable solution for medium to large businesses requiring world-class fibre internet access. Backed by our industry-leading SLA, organisations can expect high-quality internet at all times.
