What fiber does for your kind of business
Every business sends more data out than it used to. Here is where symmetrical fiber makes the biggest difference in the industries Elevate works with, and where we usually start.
Industries
Where equal upload speed pays off
Law firms
Document management, e-filing, video depositions and cloud practice management all push data out of the office. Equal upload speed keeps large filings and video moving.
Elevate usually starts at: 500 Mbps to 1 GIG, with built-in 5G backup on 1 GIG
Medical and dental offices
Imaging files, cloud practice software and telehealth visits move a lot of data in both directions, and the phones cannot drop.
Elevate usually starts at: 1 GIG for built-in 5G backup; static IPs if your systems need them
Creative studios and media
Video, photo and design files are huge. Uploading a finished project to a client or the cloud is as fast as downloading the assets.
Elevate usually starts at: 1 GIG to 5 GIG, depending on file sizes
Wholesale, import and distribution
Cloud ERP, warehouse scanners, cameras and carrier portals run all day. Fiber at the office and warehouse keeps orders moving.
Elevate usually starts at: 1 GIG and up; pair with backup for the warehouse floor
Tech companies and startups
Cloud development, constant video calls and large pushes to code and storage services make upload speed matter more than download.
Elevate usually starts at: 1 GIG to 5 GIG
Real estate and property management
Showings, video tours, cloud listing tools and tenant portals. For whole buildings, see our page for property owners.
Elevate usually starts at: 300 Mbps to 1 GIG per office
Accounting and financial services
Cloud accounting, client portals and secure file exchange, with a hard deadline every season.
Elevate usually starts at: 500 Mbps to 1 GIG, with backup during busy season
Retail and restaurants
Card terminals, ordering, cameras and guest Wi-Fi share one connection. Elevate secures and segments the network; we do not service point-of-sale systems.
Elevate usually starts at: 300 Mbps to 1 GIG, with backup for the card terminals
Starting points are Elevate guidance, not AT&T plan rules. Available speeds depend on your address.
