Broadband access vendor Verilink Corp. announced this week that its
NetPath 2000 solution is selling through BellSouth Business Sales
channels, and is part of the Wireless Data Back-Up offering announced this
week by BellSouth and Cingular Wireless.
The NetPath 2000 solution offers business customers protection from
wireline service failures, as well as terrestrial diversity for
maintenance of mission-critical data applications.
"Businesses today are looking to ensure continuous operations of
mission-critical data applications in the event of a wireline network
outages and possible service disruptions caused by natural disasters and
other unforeseen events," said Sab Gosal, vice president of marketing for
Verilink, in a statement. "This wireless data backup service combines
Cingular’s high-speed wireless networks with Verilink’s NetPath 2000
access device to deliver continuous broadband, giving business customers a
secure, reliable and cost-effective back-up connectivity solution."
Allen Nogee, Principal Analyst with In-Stat, added, "With the
continuing advancements in wireless technologies like EDGE and UMTS,
wireless access is becoming a compelling service alternative for
enterprises and small to mid-size businesses, making it an attractive
complement to wireline services. Carriers that offer bundled services give
businesses the flexibility and choice in how they build redundancy into
their network. Businesses with mission critical applications, such as
retail, remote office or mobile point-of-sale, will benefit by having a
flexible, cost-effective choice in connectivity services."
The NetPath 2000 has a plug-and-play design, advanced routing features,
integrated VPN for added security, and compatibility with EDGE and UMTS
standards. It supports applications including backup to frame relay and
IP/VPN, as well as primary connectivity for mobile or temporary
connectivity needs. The product can be configured and managed via a
web-browser interface.
