What is fiber internet?
Fiber internet is a broadband connection that uses fiber optic cables, which carry data as light. Business fiber from Cronus is dedicated to your company, with speeds that scale up to 1 Tbps and uploads as fast as downloads.
Is fiber optic internet wireless?
No. Fiber internet travels through fiber optic cables in the ground or in buildings. Cronus also offers fixed wireless, which delivers comparable business-grade speeds by radio between rooftops, without running new cable.
What are the advantages of fiber internet?
Fiber offers very high speeds, symmetrical uploads and downloads, low latency and excellent reliability, which makes it ideal for cloud software, video calls and businesses that move large files.
Does fiber internet need a router?
Yes, and Cronus provides and manages it. We install a business-grade router and can add managed Wi-Fi, firewalls and automatic backup connections.
What is the best type of internet for businesses?
For most businesses, fiber or fixed wireless. Both deliver dedicated, business-grade speeds, and many companies use one as their primary connection and the other, or 5G, as an automatic backup. Cronus offers all of them and can recommend the right fit for your building.
What is fixed wireless internet service?
Fixed wireless delivers high-speed internet by radio between a small antenna on your building and a tower site on our network. Because both ends are fixed in place, it is far more stable than mobile cellular service and offers speeds comparable to fiber.
What are the advantages of fixed wireless internet?
Fixed wireless is fast, reliable and quick to install, usually within days and with no trenching or construction. Bandwidth can be adjusted easily as your business grows, which makes it a strong fit for single businesses and whole buildings alike.
Do you work with cellular internet as well?
Yes. Cronus provides 5G cellular and SD-WAN service, both as primary internet and as automatic backup, plus the Cronus Wi-Fi Suitcase and temporary connections for events, construction sites, conferences and pop-up offices.
