New tools offer new possibilities. The internet age offers
endless technology for doing things faster and better, but not everything that comes
along is going to be right for your business. In this issue of Business Communicator,
we explore some technology tools and the best ways to use them.
First, on page 3, we explain the benefits to you as RTC Launches Gigabit Internet
Speed. Only three percent of the U.S. population has access to speeds this fast, and
now many RTC customers can be among them. With the same high upload and
download speeds, instantly sending and receiving information has never been easier.
On pages 4 and 5, our Business Spotlight features Nordby Vision Center, a practice
that is celebrating 30 years of providing much-needed services to our rural area.
The two vision center locations use old and new technology—from basic phone to
sophisticated Ethernet LAN services—to ensure the best service for patients.
If you’re still hesitant about increasing your internet speed, or wondering why it’s
necessary, check out the Common Misconceptions about Internet Speeds on page 6.
You may be surprised how much your internet service can impact customers, even if
they have no direct contact with it.
Finally, just like all areas of a business, your computer systems are vulnerable. The
Top Five Online Security Tips on page 7 can help you understand common threats,
and get everyone at your business on board to avoid them.
Need help sorting through all the technology choices? We’re here to help. Just let us know
your needs, and we’ll figure it out together.
Sincerely,
Chad Betz
Outside Plant Manager East
