4 SPRING 2026 BUSINESS spotlight Fiber Means Business Levi Bappe, General Manager, said, “Unlike traditional broadband, fiber offers symmetrical speeds. Upload speeds are just as fast as download. Businesses can move large files, back up data to the cloud, host virtual meetings, and manage online systems without lag or bottlenecks. Fiber is also significantly more stable and less susceptible to interruptions. That reliability allows businesses to confidently run cloud-based software, VoIP phone systems, security systems, and point-of-sale platforms without worrying about outages disrupting operations. With fiber, teams can support multiple high-definition video calls, remote employees, and real-time collaboration tools simultaneously.” Bappe continued, “Fiber enables businesses to adopt technologies they may have avoided before including cloud-hosted servers, advanced cybersecurity systems, smart building controls, AI tools, and possibly large-scale data storage. Instead of planning around internet limitations, they can plan around opportunities.” In addition to fiber internet, Huxley Communications also offers the SmartBiz™ network with a simple dashboard for managing your network, Point of Sale, staff access, and customer Wi-Fi from anywhere.
