What is Smart City? Imagine a city where all children have equal access to Internet resources to learn, where adults can access online job training and other necessary resources. A city where everyone is connected to the safety and health resources that can improve quality of life. altafiber has implemented a variety of Smart City initiatives to bring free Wi-Fi to cities, venues, and campuses. While each opportunity is different, the process is similar. Build a foundation of fiber and Wi-Fi, then prioritize and implement the Smart City technologies critical to those needs. The Smart City vision ignites economic growth, improves public safety, powers a more efficient government, and bridges the digital divide through the proliferation of ubiquitous, high-speed broadband Internet access.

We know how important it is for your business to continuously evaluate new ways to drive revenue through growth. One of the best assets you can utilize throughout your business is guest Wi-Fi Analytics. It provides a tool to collect valuable data about your customers. This data can be as simple as name, date of birth, hometown or as complex as interest, frequency of visits, contact details and more. Wi-Fi Analytics can boost your business by analyzing your data to make informed and smart decisions that will directly impact your business. For example, you can progressively profile users as they login to Wi-Fi in order to setup more personalized marketing campaigns. Imagine being able to send an automated email about happy hour happening at 3:00pm to a frequent customer. Or customizing a marketing campaign about a country concert to people who are in a specific age bracket or gender that have already been to a country concert this year.

Have you heard the term Static IP and wondered if you need one for your business? While it might seem complex, there are many advantages to consider. Let us break it down for you.

Imagine this: a city where all children have equal access to Internet resources to learn in and out of the classroom, a city where adults can access online job training, and city, county, state and federal resources, all in the palm of their hand... A city where everyone is connected to the health resources that can improve their quality of life.

Safer streets, a growing economy, thriving neighborhoods, innovative government; this is what being a Smart City is about.

We have all been there. Helping a customer, working on an order, streaming music, when the Wi-Fi fails. Maybe it is excessive buffering, or slow downloads, or the signal doesn’t reach certain areas of the vicinity. The dreaded word “loading” appears and with it, our patience drains.

Slow and unstable Wi-Fi signals are without a doubt one of the most frustrating issues to have as a small business owner. In a day and age when so much of our daily life and business relies on a strong Internet connection, the lack there of is no small thing. When it comes to ensuring your business or workplace is going to have the best Internet connection possible, there are a few factors to consider.
