    Fiber Internet

    Internet delivered through strands of glass using light. Fiber commonly supports high capacity, low latency, and strong upload performance, but availability must be confirmed for the exact address.

    VoIP

    Voice over Internet Protocol carries phone calls over an IP network instead of a traditional analog phone line. Call quality depends on network stability, latency, and traffic management.

    Unified Communications (UCaaS)

    A cloud-based combination of business calling, messaging, meetings, presence, and collaboration tools managed as one communications service.

    SIP Trunking

    A service that connects a business phone system to the public telephone network using Internet Protocol, replacing or supplementing traditional phone lines.

    Bandwidth

    The amount of data a connection can carry in a given time, usually measured in Mbps or Gbps. More bandwidth supports more users, devices, and simultaneous applications.

    Latency

    The time it takes data to travel between two points. Lower latency improves voice, video meetings, cloud applications, gaming, and other real-time services.
