Posted on: Friday, 3 October 2008, 09:00 CDT
Hughes Network Systems, a US-based broadband satellite networks and services provider, has announced the availability of HughesNet Broadband Backup service plans, the new offering for small- and medium-sized businesses that provide automatic satellite backup in the event of a landline failure.
According to the company, with HughesNet Broadband Backup, SMBs can be secure in knowing their critical applications will remain online in the event of a landline failure, protecting them against loss of data or revenue.
Two types of HughesNet Broadband Backup plans are available, depending on the type of primary landline service internet access or private network. For internet-based backup, data rates are up to 1Mbps/uplink and up to 5Mbps/downlink; for private network-based backup, data rates are up to 2Mbps/uplink and up to 8Mbps/downlink. HughesNet Broadband Backup services can also be configured to offload network traffic in a load balancing configuration, thereby alleviating network congestion and postponing upgrades.
Sam Baumel, assistant vice president at Hughes, said: "A relatively small investment of time and money now, especially with hurricane season in full swing, may make the difference in a business staying in business, and not losing its private network or internet connectivity when it occurs."
