Fast internet is essential for Digital Nomads in Spain

It is no surprise that Spain has become an increasingly popular destination, especially the Canary Islands, for Digital Nomads, the term used to describe people who are able to work remotely while travelling around the world at the same time, which has led to a massive surge in requests for Internet Connections that are fast and portable to work & play while travelling within Spain. 

Finding the right solution can be tricky as Digital Nomads do not only need the kind of speed that allows them to work as though they were in an office building, but their connection must often be portable. Digital Nomads have a wide variety of professions ranging from teachers, web designers, freelancers, copywriters, software developers, web designers, accountants and even video editors doing work on the latest Marvel movies!

Many Digital Nomads sometimes have specific technical requirements which are essential in order to be able to carry out their work as expected and it is extremely hard to find ISPs that are able to understand them, let alone offer solutions. The marketplace has a need for ISPs with the technical knowledge and expertise to be able to understand, assist and provide the necessities of Digital Nomads so that they can not only enjoy the kind of Internet Connection they require but so that they also feel they have someone to support them while travelling and working throughout Spain.

Similarly, many “Co-working” and “Co-living” spaces require Internet Connections that can cater for the needs of their guests. Co-working spaces may have invested a lot of money to have creative decoration, the best views, great food or be in an exotic location, but often not much care is devoted to what is possibly the most essential part of the business: the Internet Connection. 

It is not only advisable that this is done with business-class Internet Connections but that it is also done with an ISP that has the expertise to be able to assist & advise the venues so that the technical requirements match the needs of the users. Often, co-working spaces are set up with simple WiFi Access Points or stations are networked with LAN cables but not much attention has been given to the security of the network. 

For many Digital Nomads, this is an absolute necessity and it is hard for them to know if it is “safe” to use the network that is being provided & shared with others. If we want to be a key destination and attract Digital Nomads to improve business and also stimulate the local economy, it is important that investments are made in the technical aspects of the services that are being offered with equal or more importance than the quality of the food or the comfort of the rooms.  If remote workers cannot work properly at the chosen location then they will quickly move on to another venue or even go back to a previous one where there was a quality connection.  After all, if you can’t work, you can’t play!
