Network downtime diminishes productivity and eats profits. A survey from Infonetics indicates that 68% of businesses suffer between $1,000 and $10,000 per hour of lost productivity due to network outages.* For some companies, it’s much higher.
Many companies try to protect against downtime by installing two T1s or DSL lines—only to have both lines go down at the same time because they share the same phone company conduits and wiring centers. A redundant Internet solution from Covad Wireless reduces this type of risk.
Covad Wireless offers two solutions for businesses seeking high availability and redundancy for your business Internet access needs. Both options give your business increased protection against disruptions due to man-made or natural disasters.
Covad combines the strengths of our wireless and wireline solutions to provide increased levels of reliability for your business. Covad helps provide business continuity with a T1-class wireless connection backed by a T1 or DSL line:
If you already have a T1 line from another provider, Covad Wireless Super-T service can provide the ideal solution for business continuity and disaster recovery. A Covad Wireless Super-T is independent from the phone company’s network infrastructure and provides full path and network diversity that is not affected by scheduled or emergency outages on your existing T1 line.
With a properly configured dual-WAN firewall (available separately from many network integrators and resellers), adding Covad Wireless Super-T service to your existing standard T1 may also provide automatic failover, bandwidth aggregation, load balancing, and other features.
For more information on both of these business continuity solutions, please see our datasheet.
