As access to the Internet becomes more critical to business needs, the cost of total failure of Internet access becomes high. There is no doubt that the Internet is quite resilient and reliable, however, at a local level outages are common. Failure at the exchange or cables being cut during roadworks or similar are the most likely causes of failure, however bad weather conditions can bring down cables, flood exchanges or fires occur that result in significant outages.
Whatever system is used as your primary link via terrestrial last mile access, it is likely that all the other terrestrial alternatives either use the same local exchange or common lines. Thus when you get an outage of one type of link, the other terrestrial links are also affected.
Satellite Internet provides the only reliable method of backing up your Internet access totally independent of the local communication infrastructure. Prime Satellite Broadband is able to provide a reliable satellite broadband link with public IP addressing to ensure that your Company has business continuity at the level that you require.
For example, Holland and Barrett have contracted Prime Satellite Broadband for a satellite Internet terminal to provide business continuity for their offices in Burton-upon-Trent. The satellite link data rate is lower than the leased line terrestrial link they normally use, however they have critical operations for their business that they need to be running continually. Thus the satellite broadband Internet link is set up to support these operations when the leased line goes down. The switch over is automatic via a Cisco router. By traffic profiling, it is possible to ensure that critical data is given priority over other data. Thus the link ensures that the lower data rate of the backup link maximises its effectiveness in keeping key processes running. Business continuity is guaranteed at a very high availability rate using a satellite broadband Internet solution.
