When Hunter Fiber arrives in a neighborhood, it’s not uncommon to see trucks on the curb, traffic detours, and the presence of our dedicated workers. We strive to minimize disruptions, but we acknowledge that the fiber construction process can be a temporary inconvenience. Enhancing infrastructure often disrupts daily life, yet the benefits of accessing fiber-optic internet make it worthwhile. As our teams work diligently to deliver future-proof fiber internet throughout Oregon, we invite you to consider the significant value fiber brings to our communities.
Fiber-optic technology enhances remote work opportunities to grow our economy.
Fiber offers extensive benefits for both businesses and individuals. It facilitates economic growth by enabling more people to live and work in our communities. The shift to remote work has surged dramatically in recent years. Forbes published an article estimating up to a quarter of all professional jobs will predominantly be remote. This evolution in the workplace demands more than basic web browsing and email checking; it requires reliable, high-speed internet connectivity.
For remote workers, uninterrupted and high-quality video conferencing is crucial to maintaining seamless communication with their employers and colleagues. Fiber internet provides the necessary speed and bandwidth to ensure virtual meetings are clear and dependable, supporting the needs of the modern remote workforce. As opportunities for remote work increase, more people in our communities can work for companies locally, nationally, or even worldwide. On the other hand, businesses can employ the best employees regardless of their locations, allowing many to thrive in less populated areas. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Fiber-optic technology can raise your home’s value.
Having fiber-optic internet can significantly enhance a home’s market value by offering prospective buyers access to the fastest and most reliable internet connectivity available. This advanced technology supports high-bandwidth activities such as streaming, online gaming, and remote work, making it highly attractive to tech-savvy individuals and families. In an increasingly digital age, the ability to enjoy seamless internet connectivity can set a home apart in a competitive market, providing a strong selling point. Moreover, fiber-optic infrastructure is seen as future-proof, ensuring that the property remains desirable and valuable as technology continues to advance.
Fiber-optic technology gives people access to telehealth services.
Fiber-optic internet benefits individuals and communities by expanding access to telehealth medical services. With its high-speed and reliable connectivity, fiber-optic internet ensures that patients can engage in uninterrupted video consultations with healthcare providers, regardless of their location. This is especially valuable in rural or underserved areas where in-person medical services may be limited. By enabling real-time communication, remote monitoring, and quick access to medical records, fiber-optic internet facilitates timely and efficient healthcare, ultimately leading to better health outcomes. Additionally, the convenience of telehealth reduces the need for travel, saving time and costs for patients while decreasing the burden on local healthcare facilities.
Fiber-optic technology grows the E-Sports Community.
Online gaming has become hugely popular in the United States. With fiber-optic internet, gamers get all the bandwidth and extraordinary speeds to prevent lag, crashes, and other delays that plague online gaming communities. While this may seem frivolous compared to other examples above, gaming isn’t only about having fun or passing the time. The E-Sports industry (competitive video gaming in leagues and tournaments) has become a booming enterprise, taking ordinary online gaming and turning it into serious sport.
Esports can open up exciting opportunities for the next generation in our community. To date, more than 30 colleges and universities offer E-Sports scholarships to talented gamers, some amounting to tens of thousands of dollars per year! From there, many graduates find a career in many gaming-related fields.
