Fibre to the business
Businesses depend on communication networks to transmit information; each uses a system of symbols, writing, signals, or speech to share information, communicating via tools such as phones and computers. Each network has specific purposes and uses such as running voice, videoconferencing, email, and other UCC tools, along with file transfers and critical business transactions.
Networks are required to enable organizations to reduce overall capital expenditures and improve their agility. A predictable infrastructure is needed for these applications to work. Network requirements are only going to become more important as application load and user expectations grow.
When you’re in the process of setting up a network for your business, you’ll have the choice of going with either a fiber optic network or a cable network. Both will offer benefits; however, a fiber optic network will prove to be a better choice more often than not.

Why using networks
Networking is is so important, the technology is moving forwards all the time. New techniques are being developed and the hardware is always improving and aspects like network security and network monitoring are also moving forwards apace to ensure that there is a safe and effective environment within the network.,
Collaborative working and Resource Sharing:
One very important aspect of the use of data networks is the fact that resources can be shared. Originally if a printer needed to be shared, for example, it would have to be disconnected from one computer and connected to another. Nowadays many resources are shared including printers, storage, even access to the Internet which will need a good firewall.
Access to centrally stored software or Database:
it is often necessary to have a single copy of software stored on a central resource which can be accessed as required. When a licence is required to be used, this can be allocated from a central resource to a given user.
Communication:
When linked via a data network, communication is made very much easier. It is possible to send emails internally as well as externally, files can be transferred very easily, and there are many other ways in which linking computers via a network is beneficial. Without a network it was necessary to physically walk a floppy disc to the location where the file was needed (flash memory sticks were not invented then)
