Long Beach is in our Southern California home market. We compare every ISP (internet service provider) that can actually serve your address — business internet, enterprise fiber, fiber internet, cable, 5G and dedicated access, from Downtown high-rises to Westside warehouses — put their quotes side by side, then coordinate the cabling and configure the network behind the circuit.
Every internet provider reports where it offers service to the FCC. For Long Beach business locations, nearly every address has cable — but reported fiber and gigabit-upload options are far less common, which is why the right answer depends on your exact building.

Share of Long Beach business locations where each provider reports offering service, at any speed. Providers self-report; availability at a specific address can differ.
The FCC map only covers plans anyone can order. Dedicated Internet Access, private Ethernet, wavelengths and dark fiber aren't reported — so carriers that mostly sell those barely appear, even where their fiber runs. That's the part of the market a broker checks for you.
Whether one of them is already “on-net” in your building is the difference between a short install and a construction project. We check each address against their networks.
Most also sell dedicated and business-class tiers that aren’t in the FCC data. We put those options in the same table as the enterprise carriers.
We run your exact address against every carrier — mass-market and enterprise — and note which are already in the building.
We find out where the carriers terminate (the MPOE / telecom room) and what it takes to reach your suite or rack.
Every qualified option in one table — speed, term, SLA and install path — so you pick, not the carrier.
The carrier that wins on one block can't serve the next. A few patterns we plan for around the city.
Several carriers may already be in the building's telecom room. The work is getting quotes from each, then extending the demarc up to your suite.
Large footprints and distance from the street. Fiber may need construction, so fixed wireless or 5G often bridges the gap, and point-to-point links tie buildings together.
Multi-building sites where redundancy, SD-WAN across locations and campus fiber between buildings come up most.
Restaurants, bars, venues and storefronts: a business broadband primary, automatic 5G failover so the POS stays up, and guest WiFi kept off the business network.
The new location sits in a strip center. Cable is available on day one; fiber needs a construction quote. A typical plan: order business cable as the primary so the store opens on time, add 5G failover so card payments keep running during an outage, and quote fiber in parallel to swap in when it's built. Inside, the cabling, firewall and WiFi match the group's other stores, so their portal shows every site the same way.
This is a representative example of how we approach a site like this, not a specific client. Ask us for references.
Carrier-agnostic, no favorites. The same team quotes the circuit, coordinates the install and supports it afterward.
DIA and fiber, cable, fixed wireless, 5G backup, MPLS / SD-WAN, point-to-point fiber and hosted VoIP — from every carrier that qualifies at your address.
Internet brokerage →Cat6/6a, fiber and coax, demarc extensions and rack build-outs, installed by licensed, insured subcontractors and Fluke-certified.
Cabling infrastructure →Cisco, Meraki, Fortinet, Ubiquiti and more — designed from a site survey and configured for your locations.
Network equipment →When a circuit drops, we open and escalate the ticket with the carrier for you, with monitoring and a management portal if you want them.

In the FCC National Broadband Map (data as of December 31, 2025), providers reporting service to Long Beach business locations include Spectrum Business, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, GeoLinks, Frontier and TPX. Enterprise carriers that sell dedicated fiber, such as Lumen, Zayo, Crown Castle and Cogent, don't report that service to the FCC map, so SmartLink checks them address by address.
It depends heavily on the building. In the FCC data as of December 31, 2025, about 13% of Long Beach business locations had a fiber plan reported, while about 99% had cable. Dedicated fiber (DIA) from enterprise carriers isn't included in that data, so the only way to know is to check your exact address — which is the first thing SmartLink does.
Business broadband (cable, fiber or fixed wireless plans) shares capacity with other customers and usually has faster download than upload. Dedicated Internet Access is a private, symmetrical circuit with a service-level agreement, sized for you alone. Many Long Beach businesses pair one of each: DIA or fiber as the primary, broadband or 5G as the backup.
A typical brokered circuit takes 60–90 days from discovery to handoff. Buildings a carrier already reaches move faster; addresses that need construction take longer. Fixed wireless or 5G service can bridge the gap while fiber is built.
Yes. Long Beach is within SmartLink's Southern California install area. SmartLink scopes and manages the job, and field and installation work is performed by licensed, insured subcontractors. Cabling is labeled, Fluke-certified and documented.
