, we are speeding it up for you

Volume 10 | May 28th, 2020

Moving at the speed of light

Dear Greetings!

As I am writing this, I can tell that the pace of business is picking up. It has been a fast-paced week for me, and I wish your business is picking up as well.

Speaking of speed and fast updates, effective June 1 ^st, 2020, Granite will be offering 200Mbps, 600 Mbps, and 1 Gigabit circuits. These are available to you on new installs at wholesale rates for Spectrum (Time Warner and Charter). These are also available with Spectrum on new installs, conversions, and circuit updates.

A few other updates from our product team, below:

Our Unified Communications as a Software (UCaaS) platform, has been renamed as Max UC and has replaced Accession. You can enjoy it with our new IP phones Poly VVX DEC 230, which are cordless. The Polycom phones will replace the existing Panasonic that many of you are familiar with already.

A reminder that we are offering Fixed Wireless Broadband and Fixed Wireless DIA solutions that will help you speed up your network or create redundancy.

And that is the extent of my updates to keep it fast and sweet this week.

As always, please enjoy a few articles that caught my eye this week.

Sincerely and in good health,

Raul

Sincerely and be safe

Featured products - Fixed Wireless

FIXED WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS THE FIBER ALTERNATIVE

Granite’s Fixed Wireless is Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) to a single location - via radio waves.

By utilizing antennas, towers, and an express line of sight (LoS) to transmit point-to-point signals, fixed wireless technology can be deployed in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of terrestrial fiber.

Fixed wireless – DIA everywhere and anywhere, giving you greater geographical freedom.

Granite offers business-class Fixed Wireless Internet with high bandwidth, true network redundancy, and guaranteed speeds reaching up to 10 Gbps; backed by a carrier-grade service level agreement.

In-Building Cellular Solutions

Customer Challenge - Reliable 4G

For many mid-sized buildings, mobile operators cannot provide reliable indoor service from outside as concrete, and low-e glass can cut out up to 98% of the radio signal.

According to a recent survey, nearly 74% of office workers said they experience poor cellular connectivity in their workplaces. In the BYOD connected work environment, cellular connectivity is required for productivity.

This challenge extends to hotels, student housing, senior living, retail, healthcare, apartments, and condos
