Cellular Wireless Failover for Branch Offices, M2M and the Internet of Things

The loss of traditional Internet network connectivity can lead to lost revenue, decreased productivity, and failed compliance, as well as reputation & brand impact.

Internet downtime is expected and occurs from scheduled interruptions (service provider maintenance), random accidents (nearby construction damaging physical infrastructure), or even unexpected and unpredictable disruptions due to extreme events (flood or fire). Being prepared for downtime is a necessary component of sound business practices.

An InformationWeek survey found that enterprises, on average, experience over 14 hours of connectivity downtime per year. Some high profile cases lasted well over a week. Gartner also estimates that on average the cost to enterprises during periods of downtime is $5,600 per minute, that’s more than $300k per hour.

The reality is: in a disaster, wired networks are usually the first to fail and the last to recover. So what can you do? You need an Internet connectivity backup plan.

Adding traditional “wired” redundancy is not a solution as wired technologies typically run in the same conduits and are vulnerable to all of the same threats as your primary connectivity. Wired redundancy is also costly to implement and has high recurring monthly charges that can be prohibitive for large distributed businesses.

At Accelerated, we tend to think cellular connectivity is the answer, and we specialize in making it work under all conditions.
