Atlantic Broadband, the nation´s eighth-largest cable operator, has announced the availability of 10 Gigabit fiber service for its business Internet customers in Western Pennsylvania, Rochester, New Hampshire and Southern Maine, the company said.
Additional deployments are planned this spring in the company´s Belmont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware and Florida service areas.
The launch follows a major upgrade to the Atlantic Broadband transport network so that businesses with demanding speed and performance requirements now will have ready access to the 10 Gig speed without the need for additional engineering requirements.
10 Gig with symmetrical download and upload speeds opens up new possibilities for businesses of all sizes: it allows for seamless Ultra High Definition–including 8K–video streaming and uploading, the quick transport of high-resolution diagnostic and medical imaging, large-scale video conferencing, and superfast data backups.
It also will provide vital access to cloud-based business applications and platforms. In its Global Cloud Index Report (2016-2021), Cisco noted that businesses will continue to shift from dedicated, on premise servers to cloud-based applications, with 95 percent of all workloads expected to run on cloud-based platforms by 2021, where secure, high-capacity data transport is essential.
