Enhanced Network resilience
Apart from providing enhanced backup capabilities, cellular broadband links offer several other benefits for network resilience. Here are a few key advantages:
1. Improved Link Diversity: Employing both wired and wireless connections reduces the risk of downtime. Some organisations take it a step further by introducing a third link or hardware redundancy through multiple routers.
2. Carrier Diversity: Automatic failover can be expanded to include another cellular link from a different carrier. With two wireless connections from separate infrastructures, the likelihood of both failing simultaneously is significantly reduced.
3. Bandwidth Augmentation: Policies can be set to enhance bandwidth by simultaneously utilising both links. This feature proves particularly valuable for handling traffic spikes, with the automatic execution ensuring that customers and staff experience minimal disruption.
4. Secure Alternative Access: Wireless links offer a secure alternative access point for network and IT operations, enabling Out-of-Band Management, maintenance and troubleshooting of networking equipment.
Network outages resulting from unforeseen circumstances like construction accidents, hardware failures, or configuration errors are unpredictable. However, eliminating downtime is attainable through the implementation of an LTE or 5G automatic failover solution.
