Business is booming in Florida, and it isn’t expected to slow down any time soon.
According to U.S. Census data, Florida’s population grew from 18.8 million in 2010 to 21.5 million in 2020. Doubling the growth rate of the overall U.S. population, this trend is poised to continue as more businesses and remote workers move to the Sunshine State during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.
And why wouldn’t they? Florida boasts beautiful weather and a pro-business attitude that made it attractive before COVID-19, but even more so now. Major financial and technology companies are increasingly relocating or opening offices in the state. Florida’s business boom also shows in the numbers, with the state’s GDP hitting a record-high of $969.56 billion in 2021.
Florida Networks Must Respond
What does the influx of new businesses and residents into the state mean for your network bandwidth? Simply put, more people accessing Florida networks means your quality of service is at risk if you don’t have the right solutions in place.
Legacy networks built on outdated infrastructure are easily oversubscribed when an area grows and more internet traffic is introduced. Some carriers built their networks to satisfy the needs of residential populations and are now repurposing them for business connectivity. While businesses may have accepted this type of network before, the increased number of users will bring latency and quality issues that will affect your connection and reduce your bottom line.
Bandwidth is a competitive advantage in today’s fast-paced, data-driven world. Businesses can’t afford to waste time and money on aging infrastructure and connectivity solutions that don’t fully meet their needs. Florida businesses need a network that was built with them in mind.
As businesses plan their key initiatives for 2022, now is the perfect time to take a closer look at network connectivity. Don’t accept the status quo. New connectivity options in Florida can take businesses to the next level.
It’s time to get to know a new name – Summit Broadband.
