How would you feel if you wanted to attend a business meeting online and you could not because you were incapacitated by the network issues? Or you have an important online exam to write but you performed poorly because the internet network was painfully slow? It's frustrating, right?

The Problems Most People Face With Internet Access

People in many countries have to cope with this situation because the internet network hardware infrastructures are very old and could not bear the demands of new generations of internet technology needed for high speed internet access. Sometimes, users can be without internet access for weeks when the infrastructures break down because they suffer from corrosion and other aging consequences. The cost of maintaining these infrastructures is usually very high and this affects the cost of the internet services, making users to pay higher fees with internet speeds lower than that advertised by the internet companies. Other times, users have to wake up at night so that they can be able to use the internet. Even then, they will not be able to enjoy about an half of the bandwidth they paid for from their network providers.

The Solution

Horizon Communications has come up with a solution for this problem - wireless technology. They would use next-generation advanced wireless technology to provide internet, IPTV and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services in Bermuda. Bermuda is a Caribbean country that is famous for its tourism industry. As tourists visit the country, they would not be able to fully enjoy their stay due to unstable network issues. Horizon will provide LTE fixed wireless access to users in near and far distances. Their internet speeds would be up to 150 mbps in 2018 and minimum of 300 mbps in late 2018/2019. And they will expand to neighbouring Caribbean countries with the same issues before covering the international audience. Horizon token issued by the platform is used in paying for services. Issues with data storage and protection of customers' information will be resolved using the blockchain technology.

What Makes This Solution Unique?

• The need for expensive underground and overhead network cables is eliminated as a fixed wireless solution (LTE) is deployed, reducing the cost of setting up and maintaining the network.

• The software used for the internet technology will upgrade seamlessly to the latest wireless standards as they become available without the need for upgrades in the hardware infrastructure due to the unique capabilities of the LTE technology.

• Internet access would not be affected during power outages and other unforseeable circumstances de to the power of the blockchain technology and Content Delivery Nework (CDN) capabilities of third-party companies such as Gladius.
