Spirit Communications Launches Wireless Network Failover Solution to Safeguard Businesses across the Carolinas
October 9, 2014
Customers can deploy a fully-configured ‘in the box’ failover solution for primary networks or use to extend their existing MPLS network at an affordable price with no monthly commitments.
COLUMBIA, SC – Spirit Communications, a premier provider of voice, data and Internet services in the Carolinas, today announced the launch of Spirit LTE Secure Access, a powerful service for customers that need an affordable secondary network connection to safeguard critical voice, data, and Internet traffic. Its multi-function design makes it ideal as a failover solution for primary networks or as a mechanism to extend an existing MPLS network to remote locations. Both implementations deliver a seamless, highly available wireless solution over Spirit’s secure, private IP network or Spirit’s dedicated Internet service. And it’s powered by the largest 4G/LTE network in the nation.
“I can tell you first-hand, business continuity is a top priority for our customers,” said Bob Keane, president and CEO of Spirit Communications. “Our customers want double-protection in the case of a failover – a way to safeguard their primary networks and an affordable backup solution that keeps their sensitive information off the Web. I’m proud to say we are the first carrier in the Southeast to deliver both.”
Spirit LTE Secure Access is targeted for critical machine-to-machine (M2M) business transactions and includes around-the-clock monitoring from their local Network Operations Center. While business continuity is its primary purpose, it’s also an ideal mechanism to extend existing MPLS networks to remote or temporary locations well beyond the traditional telecommunications demarcation — such as ATMs, utility meters, digital signs/billboards, construction sites, telemetry devices and more.
Unlike other providers with backup services that require multiple vendors and rely on unsecured wirelines that are costly and cumbersome to implement, Spirit LTE Secure Access is simple to configure, 100% private, supports all traffic (voice, data and Internet), and aggregates both wire and wireless connections into a single, fully-managed network by one vendor.
