Online Activity Is Changing in the Home

There has been a significant increase in Americans working at home due to the COVID-19 crisis. While we may have thought this trend would fade after May, remote working will likely become the new normal for many. That means more video conferences and virtual communication from home.

Likewise, streaming content is at an all-time high as Americans spend more time in their homes. In fact, a recent study of 2,000 Americans found that the average person is now streaming eight hours of content per day. Major studios are even releasing new movies straight to streaming services as public theaters remain closed or operating at limited capacity.

 

The Importance of an Enterprise-Grade Network

There was once a time when a simple wireless router was all a homeowner needed for adequate internet access. That time has passed. An internet connection isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity for everyone. As the backbone of your connected home, your network must be fast, reliable, and secure.

Enterprise-grade network solutions are vastly higher in performance than consumer-grade solutions. They offer limitless scalability, strong security and integrity, and around-the-clock consistency. An enterprise-grade network thoroughly supports the technology infrastructure needs across your entire home and assures that services and data are always connected. No more dead spots, dropped meetings, content buffering, or data breaches.
