By gaining a complete understanding of bandwidth and determining their bandwidth needs, companies and their clients can take advantage of eNetwork Supply’s new, pre-owned, and refurbished products, such as network hardware and telecom equipment.

What Bandwidth Is
Bandwidth is a measurement of how much data is transferable between a device and the internet at any given point. Computers, smartphones, security systems, and other devices require bandwidth to run smoothly. It’s an essential measurement that companies should know whether they upgrade their internet service package or add new devices to their network.

The more devices a business has, the higher their bandwidth requirements will be. With an ever-changing landscape and outdated network equipment, many companies struggle to determine their bandwidth needs and battle with less-than-ideal speeds.

eNetwork Supply offers products suitable for increasing bandwidth, improving network connections, and ensuring smooth performance between multiple devices and networks. Featuring 40 years of experience, companies and their clients have a reliable team of network experts testing and repairing telecom devices to ensure they are ready for sale.

eNetwork Supply explained, “Business’s bandwidth requirements are changing every day. We want to make it easy for companies of all sizes and their clients to pinpoint and purchase effective network solutions. We offer brand new Broadband solutions and refurbished Legacy equipment at affordable rates.”

Why Bandwidth Is Necessary
Bandwidth is necessary for determining and maintaining a quality internet connection and reasonable speeds. Due to large file sizes and high-definition images, browsing the web, videos, and online games are some of the biggest bandwidth users. However, bandwidth is a finite resource.

“Without enough bandwidth, internet performance significantly decreases,” eNetwork Supply’s experts explained. “Videos buffer during playback, you experience lag during conference calls, your company’s website loads slowly, or important software stops working. These performance setbacks can contribute to significant losses of income.”

Loading times, video buffering, audio playback, and other aspects depend on bandwidth. With ample amounts of bandwidth, companies and their clients can ensure consistent performance across devices and networks. With fewer network-related issues comes more employee productivity.

eNetwork Supply’s inventory features network routers and other wireless solutions ideal for improving a company’s network infrastructure. They test and repair all equipment before listing it to ensure they sell only the best products. Additionally, they’ve partnered with top brands like Juniper Networks and IBM to give businesses the quality equipment they deserve.

Meeting Bandwidth Requirements
Having enough bandwidth for every device results in smooth operation and faster performance. Companies and their clients struggling to meet bandwidth requirements can follow these steps to determine their bandwidth demands and resolve them:
● Notice the signs: Signs that a network doesn’t have enough bandwidth include experiencing slow, laggy performance, failed storage backups, and internet speeds decreasing when multiple people use it.
● Find the cause:eNetwork Supply relayed, “Sometimes it’s a problem with your ISP, while other times it’s the company equipment. Take note of when you experience slower speeds and think back to when you last updated your company’s Broadband equipment. If it’s been years since you’ve had an upgrade, your equipment could be the problem.”
● Determine speed requirements: Calculating the bandwidth demands for each device on the network will help determine how much bandwidth a company or client needs. High-traffic websites and networks with many connected devices will require significantly more bandwidth.
● Reduce usage conflicts: Bandwidth availability decreases as more people use a single network. Creating a usage schedule or minimizing activity while others are using the internet may resolve several bandwidth problems. Companies that cannot do this have access to eNetwork Supply’s leading inventory.
● Upgrade internet service: If it’s been five or ten years since a company’s last internet package upgrade, there’s a strong likelihood that their ISP has a better plan with higher bandwidth rates and faster internet speeds. Upgrading internet service can resolve the connectivity and performance issues related to reduced bandwidth.
● Switch to WiFi or 4G: 4G speeds are much quicker than traditional internet. As mobile technology improves constantly, more companies are making work mobile. If the current provider doesn’t have an adequate plan for a company’s bandwidth requirements, switching to using 4G or relying on WiFi versus a wired connection can be beneficial.
● Optimize and monitor the network: Large businesses may struggle to monitor all employee internet usage successfully. To ensure a company uses all routes to improve bandwidth, internet service professionals can inspect the internet setup and recommend changes to make it more effective.

eNetwork Supply reminds companies, “We’re experts on many top brands of network solutions, telecom equipment, and more. We have a collective 40 years of experience and counting. Our team can offer advice on equipment to purchase depending on your bandwidth requirements.”

When to Get a Bandwidth Upgrade
Getting a bandwidth upgrade depends on a business’s current network equipment and company goals. Companies and clients with outdated or nearly obsolete equipment may enormously benefit from new equipment to add wireless networks to their property, improve internet speeds, and boost the success of cloud storage transfers. Businesses expanding their in-office technology will also have new bandwidth demands.

It can be challenging to know when it’s time for a bandwidth upgrade without knowing whether you have a problem. Signs that a bandwidth upgrade is necessary include:
• Slow internet performance
• Failed business operations due to internet errors
• Frequent buffering during video calls, audio streaming, or video playback
• Noticeable performance issues during peak online traffic times

If decreasing bandwidth usage doesn’t improve performance, upgrading the internet equipment is the next option. eNetwork Supply makes this process easy.
