A comprehensive connectivity solution designed to secure and accelerate growth for hundreds of thousands of businesses

Kinetic Business today announced the launch of Business Ready Internet, the company’s first all-in-one connectivity solution designed specifically for small businesses.

Business Ready Internet combines fast, reliable fiber internet with advanced WiFi, security, and network resilience. Rather than relying on multiple and disparate solutions, small businesses can now rely on one product for their connectivity needs to help them to maintain and secure operations, boost productivity and improve profitability.

“Small business owners have so much on their plate; things need to work seamlessly without network disruptions and constant management,” said Michael Flannery, president of Kinetic Business. “We saw the need for a solution that addresses their unique connectivity challenges, whether it’s slow and unreliable internet, lack of cybersecurity, or limited resources to manage their network. Business Ready Internet does just that, delivering connectivity, continuity and security—all in one place—making it easier than ever for business owners.”

Business Ready Internet, built with award-winning Calix SmartBiz technology, equips small businesses with self-managed connectivity tools to enhance customer experience and stay competitive in today’s digital landscape. The full-featured, small business-optimized solution offers:

Fiber internet, backed by 99.9% network reliability, for a seamless internet connection that supports daily operations, faster customer transactions, and equal data uploads and downloads
Advanced, business-grade WiFi management to easily create and modify separate WiFi networks specifically catered to employees, guests, devices and more
Robust security through an integrated firewall to protect from cyberthreats and unauthorized network traffic that can lead to costly downtime and damaged brand reputation
Self-service mobile app to easily monitor and manage all services from anywhere—even with limited IT expertise—backed by a team of local technicians and 24/7 support
Internet backup to ensure critical devices stay online in an outage via a cellular device or secondary wired backup connection
Competitive small business-friendly pricing, with price security and no additional hardware to buy

“Small businesses need state-of-the-art—yet still affordable—technology to meet their goals, and we’re committed to delivering solutions to help them bolster success, with local support every step of the way,” said Art Nichols, chief technology officer of Kinetic Business. “With Business Ready Internet, small business owners can focus on their customers rather than worry about the performance, reliability and security of their internet and WiFi.”

Kinetic Business Internet is now available for purchase for small to medium-sized businesses. To learn more, visit KineticBusiness.com.
