Fast And Reliable Broadband For Manufacturing Plants
Fast and reliable broadband allows the manufacturing industry to leverage data, artificial intelligence, and IoT machine tools to improve business operations.
The ideal broadband package in a manufacturing environment depends on your plant’s size, location, and the network resources you use.
MID Digital Solutions provides four powerful broadband connectivity solutions to future-proof your factory network.
-
SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access)
-
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises)
-
FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet)
-
Dedicated Leased Lines
SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access)
SOGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) simplifies broadband connectivity by providing internet access without a traditional phone line. It uses fibre-optic lines combined with traditional copper cabling.
This system delivers download speeds of up to 80 Mbps and upload speeds of around 20 Mbps. Convenient VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) solutions are typically integrated for voice calls.
Key benefits of SOGEA include:
-
Cost-effectiveness: Potential cost savings due to no phone line subscription.
-
Improved reliability: Compared to legacy ADSL broadband.
-
Simplified setup: Using the established copper infrastructure for the last section of the transmission.
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises)
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) is a fibre broadband technology that provides ultra-fast internet directly to your plant using fibre optic cables. The end-to-end fibre service eliminates the slowdown effect of copper to deliver the following superior benefits:
Top speeds: Ultra-fast speeds – up to 1 Gbps.
Scalability: Easily scalable as your demand for the internet evolves.
Stability: A stable and reliable connection as pure fibre is less vulnerable to signal interference.
Better security: Compared to copper-based systems.
FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet)
Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) delivers faster speeds than standard broadband and is usually more affordable than full fibre options. FTTC uses fibre optic cables to connect to a street cabinet near your location. Data transmission from the cabinet to your site is carried by copper cables.
Widely available in the UK, FTTC is a popular option in areas where full fibre doesn’t currently exist.
The benefits of FTTC include:
-
Speed: Faster internet (up to 80 Mbps) than traditional broadband.
-
Cost-effectiveness: Lower cost than full fibre services like FTTP.
-
Dependable performance: Improved reliability compared to copper-only connections.
Leased Lines
A leased line is a private internet connection dedicated exclusively to your plant. The uncontended bandwidth of an exclusive line eliminates network congestion and facilitates outstanding speeds of up to 1 Gbps or more.
A leased line is highly suitable for manufacturing companies using data-heavy IoT processes and cloud services.
Leased line benefits include:
-
Symmetrical bandwidth: Equal download and upload speeds to support video meetings, large file transfers, and cloud services.
-
Excellent performance: Minimal downtime and consistent, reliable speeds via a dedicated line.
-
Enhanced security: The dedicated connection can be securely protected.

“We been with Mid Digital for 18 months now and have always found them to give the highest level of service. The transition from our previous provider was very smooth with any issues being dealt with promptly and efficiently. I find the ability to have shared data and call time across all our numbers extremely beneficial and this was not available from our previous provider, so we have received better service at a reduce cost by going with Mid Digital. If I have any issues, I feel confident I can either ring or email them and I will get a prompt and useful response, again this wasn’t the case with my previous provider.”
