As much effort as has been expended to explain the San Francisco workplace revolution, Silicon Valley workspace is in a jumble, too.

Five of the valley’s most important companies have announced large, expensive new campuses. On their face, the decisions—by Apple, Google, Facebook, Nvidia and Samsung—make two statements: Companies don’t expect to abandon Silicon Valley, but the existing workstock does not meet corporate needs.

San Jose’s City Council has approved a trio of agreements with Samsung Semiconductor Inc. to build a 680,000-square-foot research and development campus and new North American headquarters in North San Jose.

The project is expected to involve a capital investment of no less than $200 million, assuming an estimated per square foot construction cost of about $300 and excluding the value of business equipment required to outfit the facility.

The campus, which is proposed to include two, 10-story towers, is expected to house 2,000 workers. Samsung has an existing 300,000-square-foot complex at the site, 3655 N. First St., where 370 people already work.

It’s difficult to imagine how business got done before the Internet. What would we do without e-mail, instant messaging, file sharing, online collaboration, video calls, or convenient research on any subject via the World Wide Web? Not to mention taking the occasional break to view the latest cat video on YouTube or “Like” something on Facebook…

As a special benefit for its tenants, in September 2010 Fremont Business Park introduced a super-high speed, fiber optic-based Internet service — the fastest in Fremont — exclusively for businesses located at the complex.  Offering a variety of service levels at speeds ranging from 1.5 Mbps to 10 Mbps or more, the service has proven very popular and is currently the choice of more than 90% of the businesses in the Fremont Business Park community.

Built-In, Backup Internet Service

Now at the request of a number of tenants that don’t ever want to be without Internet access, Fremont Business Park is launching a backup Internet service that will automatically switchover should the primary fiber optic connection go down for any reason.

Provided by TelePacific Communications — a leading carrier serving business customers in California and Nevada — the backup service is designed to ensure continuous access to critical Internet capabilities to keep Fremont Business Park companies in business.

4G Wireless Communications Technology

TelePacific’s WiMAX-featured broadband network provides approximately 30 Mbps of bandwidth to support essential services for Fremont Business Park tenants. Based on the latest industry-standard 4G wireless communications technology, the TelePacific wireless solution also ensures the wide coverage and high quality of service (QOS) of cellular networks.

Highly Affordable Business Insurance

So what business is your company in? Is it a specialty such as:

—   Software design, where files of up to 20 Mbytes or larger are shared frequently by developers

—   Financial services, where transaction pricing and trades must be researched and executed without delay

Or do you run pretty much any business — from a technology company to an accounting firm — where the idea of being without Internet access is simply unthinkable? The backup wireless Internet service from TelePacific is like having highly affordable business insurance that will keep you up and running 24x7x365.
