Keep Fast Growing Small Businesses Connected

With the New Year comes a fresh start for many small businesses. With the memories and experiences of 2013 still vivid in our minds, now is the best time to plan your company’s growth in 2014.

Startup Loans, Startup Britain, a whole load of investment and funding schemes, not to mention Growth Accelerator and support from UK Trade & Industry, illustrate the government’s desire for small British businesses to continue growing fast.

As any small business owner will tell you, growth is just as difficult as getting a company off the ground in the first place.

One often neglected area is ensuring your business has optimum network connectivity solutions in place to enable growth.

Countless options

Luckily, we live in a world where there are countless solutions to this problem, which you’ll need to look at once you’ve grown beyond the usefulness of a single consumer wireless router.

You might need to be able to access your network remotely, or offer your guests secure Wi-Fi connection, or you might need to transmit sensitive data between storage, mobile devices and the cloud.

There are literally hundreds of different scenarios and requirements which cannot be met with a simple network router, meaning that business growth depends on ensuring you have a robust, efficient network solution.

Specific solutions

Cisco Small Business Wireless Access Points and the RV Series Router are designed specifically for these kinds of situations for small businesses.

They’ve realised that there are specific needs for small, high-growth businesses which other products do not adequately meet.

For instance, the Cisco WAP551& 561 enables small businesses to deliver high-capacity wireless N connectivity and guest access, in a secure and very reliable way.

Recoup your investment

Other Cisco routers such as the RV320 are guaranteed to provide years of reliable service, meaning you can be safe in the knowledge that your investment will recoup the costs many times over.
