No Lag, No Limits: Why ACT is the Ultimate Choice for Business Connectivity

No Lag, No Limits: Why ACT is the Ultimate Choice for Business Connectivity

Mint14-05-2025
What is the importance of a good Wi-Fi connection for a business? One of the most critical parts of any business is meeting with investors. Imagine your team is in the middle of a critical meeting with potential investors, trying to secure funding to scale the business, but suddenly the internet connection starts acting up. The video feed starts freezing, and the audio cuts in and out, making it impossible to communicate clearly. The slides, which took hours to perfect, take forever to load. Even though this is just an imaginary scenario, the stress of being in such a situation is insurmountable, hence answering the question of the relevance of a strong Wi-Fi connection.
But how to decide upon an internet connection that will not land you in a soup? Well, at the heart of your Wi-Fi setup is the router. For home offices or co-working spaces, a Wi-Fi 6 router ensures faster speeds, greater capacity, and reduced latency, which is perfect for multitasking and video calls. A dual-band router works for smaller spaces, while a tri-band router is ideal for busier environments. For larger areas, a mesh Wi-Fi system eliminates dead zones and ensures seamless connectivity throughout. The next step is choosing a suitable internet connection provider, and in this age of smart everything, your Wi-Fi connection needs to be smart too.
For businesses looking for a superior internet connection, ACT's Enterprise Business (EB) solutions stand out as the ideal choice in the market, offering an unmatched combination of performance, scalability, and superior experience. With speeds reaching up to 1 Gbps, ACT's broadband plans provide a robust, reliable, and scalable internet service that supports everything from day-to-day operations to mission-critical activities. It caters to the needs of every enterprise with varied plans.
ACT Fibernet not only provides the fastest and most reliable broadband solutions but also offers these at competitive prices, making it the go-to choice for startups and enterprises looking to simplify their operations. With a growing client base of over 14,000+ enterprises, ACT is trusted by businesses across industries to deliver uninterrupted connectivity. Its delivery of ultra-fast and reliable internet was experienced at NASSCOM Technology Confluence 2024 and Bengaluru Tech Summit 2024. Businesses like Wipro, Namma Metro, Magnaquest, and Huawei, among others, are powering their operations with ACT's broadband solutions.
Let's take a closer look at how ACT's Business Broadband Solutions empower businesses:
How does this plan help? For instance, a tech startup is hosting a webinar. Due to slow internet speeds, the event keeps getting disrupted, wasting everyone's time. There are 15 employees in the company, and all of them, like the marketing person, are struggling with poor internet connectivity. With employees working on tight deadlines for client projects, these disruptions lead to delays, reduced productivity, and frustrated team members.
By switching to ACT's Corporate Broadband, such startups can gain enterprise-grade connectivity with minimal latency and consistent high-speed internet. This ensures uninterrupted video calls, seamless access to cloud platforms, and faster file transfers. The reliability of the connection allows the team to focus on delivering their projects on time, enhancing productivity and client satisfaction, and helping the startup scale efficiently.
What about companies with more than 20 employees? Let's say there's an IT services company with 50 employees. As its client base grows, its internet struggles to keep up, causing delays in real-time data processing, slow cloud syncing, and frequent downtime. With too many devices using bandwidth simultaneously, video calls freeze, and cloud-based applications become unresponsive.
ACT's Internet-Leased Line is the most suitable solution. Unlike traditional broadband, it offers a dedicated, secure, and ultra-fast connection and guarantees performance and availability around the clock. This service is designed to fuel growth by providing reliable connectivity for teams to collaborate, innovate, and achieve their business objectives without worrying about internet disruptions.
In addition to broadband, ACT offers Managed Wi-Fi solutions for businesses that simplify and optimise your network. For instance, whether it's a co-working space or an office, there can be network congestion or weak Wi-Fi signals, resulting in slow loading times. In such a scenario, ACT's Managed Wi-Fi ensures seamless wireless internet. With automatic device connection and real-time adjustments to signal strength, ACT guarantees superior Wi-Fi performance across your workspace, allowing you to focus on business growth without network interruptions. The robust security features of Managed Wi-Fi, like authentication and encryption, further help businesses safeguard their data from unauthorised access and minimise the risk of costly breaches or security incidents.
With ACT's SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solution, businesses get a one-stop network management system that takes your enterprise's internet experience to the next level. If there's a retail chain operating across multiple locations and is facing frequent network outages and inefficient bandwidth management, SD-WAN ensures an efficient, seamless connectivity experience that enhances productivity, reduces downtime, and supports your company's expansion efforts. Tailored to optimise your business operations, it resolves the issue of synchronising real-time sales data and managing digital payments smoothly for retail.
Now you know the power of a seamless Wi-Fi setup that ensures you're always ready for critical investor meetings, collaborative team sessions, or delivering exceptional customer experiences. ACT's Enterprise Business solutions are the answer to every enterprise's connectivity woes. From startups operating with lean teams to larger businesses managing multiple locations, ACT has crafted solutions that make internet connectivity the least of your worries.

Parliamentary proceedings: Raising FDI limit for insurers to 100% will generate employment opportunities, says FM Sitharaman

The proposed raising of FDI limit in Indian insurance companies to 100% would bring more players into the market and generate employment opportunities, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Parliament on Tuesday (August 12, 2025). Further, she said, "improved technologies and automation would lead to faster underwriting, claim processing leading to improved turnaround time thereby reducing cost and enhancing overall efficiency of the sector." The increase in FDI in Indian insurance companies from 74% to 100% was announced in the Union Budget on February 1, 2025. Parliament Monsoon Session Day 17 updates The Insurance Act, 1938 governs investment by insurers with a strong emphasis on safety, liquidity, and regulatory oversight by aligning investment by insurers with policyholder interests. The Act stipulates time, manner, form, conditions and instruments allowed for investment. Insurers are mandated to invest a specified percentage of funds in government securities and other approved securities as specified by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). "Additionally, the Act does not permit Indian insurance companies to invest any of their funds outside India. Hence, all the funds of insurance companies must be compulsorily invested in India," she said in a reply in the Rajya Sabha. In order to ensure financial stability in the insurance sector and protection of policyholders, she said, the Act further mandates every insurer to maintain at all times, an excess of assets over liabilities of not less than 50% of the minimum capital amount. Irdai further mandates insurers to maintain the control level of solvency of 150% at all times, she said. Further, in case of an insurer acting in a manner prejudicial to the policyholders' interests, Irdai is empowered by the Act to supersede the Board of such insurance company and appoint an Administrator to manage the affairs of the insurance company. Besides, she said, the regulatory oversight of the Irdai ensures transparency and policyholder protection by promoting fair business practices, solvency monitoring, supervision and efficient grievance redressal. As per the Companies Act, 2013, all insurance companies are board- governed entities and are required to be compliant with the Companies Act, 2013 at all times for all governance matters. This, alongside Indian Insurance Companies (Foreign investment) Rules, 2015 governs various aspects of operations including dividend payment, repatriation of profit and composition of Board of Directors for insurance companies. "All these provisions and mechanisms ensure adequate checks and balances for conduct of business of insurance in India and act as safeguards," she said. Replying to another question, Sitharaman said the maximum continuous tenure of directors of cooperative banks (excluding Chairperson and Whole-time Directors) has been extended from 8 to 10 years following the recent amendment in Section 10A (sub section 2a (i)) of the Banking Regulation Act 1949 (BR Act). This provision has come into effect from August 1, 2025, she added.
