On-Communications, a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) provider, has announced its new '
Diverse Backup' connectivity solution. The service aims to provide businesses with an alternative
WiMAX based broadband wireless connection. This has been designed to complement existing primary connections through SDSL and Leased Lines etc.:
Ian Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, On-Communications said: Diverse Back Up dramatically changes the financial dynamic of adding resilient connectivity for businesses where access to the Internet is critical. Our new tariff means that it can now also be justified from a companys insurance budget, whereas typically it has been restricted to IT or Telecoms spend.
True network resiliency is a real challenge because it means circuits must originate from different exchanges and diverse entry points into a building, the cost of which until now has been prohibitive for most businesses.
Diverse Backup can be rapidly installed, normally in less than 15 days, and is available in a range of standard symmetrical bandwidth options of 2Mb, 5Mb and 10Mb.
