Office Opens in 5 Days. Here's How We Got Them Internet in Time
When a company has to move offices on short notice, internet is often the toughest piece to solve. That was the case for one of our customers — up against a tight deadline and no fiber or broadband ready to go.
The Challenge: No Time, No Provider, No Problem
The customer called us on a Tuesday, needing to be fully operational in their new office by the following Monday.
Here’s what we found:
Spectrum Coax was in the area and likely would’ve worked, but construction was needed - and there wasn’t enough time.
AT&T Fiber was on-net — but a 3-4 week install timeline was too long, and enterprise-level bandwidth was excessive for a small 4-person office.
That left a third option people often overlook: Wireless.
The Solution: EPIC iO 4G/5G Wireless Connectivity
We partnered with EPIC iO to qualify the site for their business-grade 4G/5G fixed wireless. Their team quickly confirmed strong coverage at the site using Verizon’s network, along with unlimited data availability.
Key requirements for this site:
Requirement | Answer |
Primary or backup connection? | Primary |
Wi-Fi included? | Yes |
Static IP needed? | Yes, 1 |
Expected length of service? | At least 2 years |
Speeds needed? | Between 100-200 Mbps |
Estimated monthly data usage? | Estimated Between 200-500 GB/month |
What Did It Cost? Here’s the Actual Quote.
Once EPIC iO confirmed serviceability, we reviewed a few plan options with the customer. Paying a little more for double the bandwidth was an easy call — 200 Mbps download for $250/month is a strong value, especially with unlimited data, static IP, and failover readily available.
Needed This Fast? No Problem.
The standard EPIC iO timeline is:
Equipment provisioning: 2–3 business days
Ground shipping: ~3 business days
With a small expedite fee, they turned this around in just 2 business days, delivering the device on Monday morning — ready to go live the same day.
The Outcome:
✔️ Business moved in on Monday and was online same day
✔️ Primary & Backup SIM pre-installed — ready to activate remotely, no onsite changes needed
✔️ Ongoing support from EPIC iO — including proactive monitoring of device performance and carrier connectivity, so issues can be spotted and addressed before they impact service.
Takeaways:
✅ Wireless is a real option now. With today’s 4G/5G solutions, you can deploy business-grade internet in days, not weeks.
✅ Backup and failover can be built in from day one. We've used wireless as a primary or backup alongside fiber, coax, or Starlink.
✅ Having the right partners matters. EPIC iO focuses on wireless connectivity — it’s their core business, not a side offering. When your entire business depends on fast, reliable wireless, you want a partner whose success depends on getting that right.
