Investing in a fiber optic network can
improve the way you conduct business by ensuring a more secure and more
reliable way to transfer and receive data. Hiring a reputable installation
company is the best way to get started if you are interested in a fiber optic
network. Expert fiber optic cable technicians are skilled and experienced at installing
high-quality cables and in designing custom solutions. If you are looking for a
reliable installation company, these questions should help you decide which one
to hire:
What are the certifications I should
be looking for?
Reputable fiber optic installers are
credentialed and certified by well-known and prestigious programs in the
industry. Look for a company that is a member of BISCI, and certified by ICC.
ICC certified master technicians and certified elite installation companies are
eligible to provide a 15-year lifetime warranty for new installations. Consider
a company that is a member of the Fiber Optic Association to ensure that the
certified technicians are knowledgeable and compliant with the latest
technological advancements to provide exemplary work.
What can I expect from a fiber optic
installation?
Fiber optic cables are made of glass
fibers that are wound within the heavy insulated casing. The cables are
specially designed for high-bandwidth and long-distance communications. Fiber
optic installations transmit tiny pulses of light with almost no signal loss.
As a result, the installation is considered a better alternative to traditional
copper wiring.
Security, reliability and speed are
among the other benefits of a fiber optic installation. Signals are made of
light, so data can travel in greater distances and at higher speeds. And
because it does not radiate signals, your data can be more secure. It is
extremely hard to tap a fiber optic network, too, and if IT ever does get
tapped, the breach in security can easily be detected when the entire system
fails as the cable leaks light.
Are fiber optic installation companies
reliable?
As long as you choose a certified and experienced fiber optic
installation company, you can be confident with their installation and the
quality of their fiber optic cables. Look up testimonials and feedback from
other businesses about the company to learn more about them.
