Mushroom Networks, Inc. Unveils T1 Replacement Technology for Internet Service Providers and Their Business Class Customers

Posted on: Tuesday, 21 October 2008, 09:00 CDT

Mushroom Networks, Inc., the innovator of one-sided broadband bonding technology, today announced Broadband Bonding Service, a hosted service offering better than T1 speeds both in the uplink and downlink directions with monthly cost savings up to 70% compared to a traditional T1 service. The service consists of a customer premise equipment (CPE) unit housing up to six broadband connections installed at the subscriber's site. All broadband connections are then bonded together forming a single high-speed Internet connection. Mushroom Networks' new service targets business class customers but can also be hosted by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) providing the market with the T1 replacement technology.

Mushroom Networks' Broadband Bonding Service is compatible with any broadband technology or Internet Service Provider allowing business customers to mix and match providers of their choosing and scale bandwidth based on immediate needs. For example: bond three DSL lines with one cable modem line - as the business grows and needs increase, add two more DSL lines at minimal costs. In addition, all traffic protocols are supported, including VPN, file transfers, VoIP or any other Internet traffic. Broadband Bonding Service enables businesses to migrate to VoIP based voice solutions by providing a cost effective bonded IP connection.

"Traditional T1 services are expensive to deploy, maintain and operate resulting in high prices for customers, not to mention archaic in terms of speed and performance compared with alternatives such as DSL or cable modem. Many service providers are actively looking to phase out their legacy T1 offerings," stated Dr. Cahit Akin, co-founder and CEO of Mushroom Networks. "By merging multiple inexpensive broadband connections together, our new service surpasses T1 by providing extremely fast broadband both in the downlink and uplink directions, supporting business critical applications such as reliable IP voice communications, and enabling accelerated VPN access for telecommuters and other off-site customers."

The Broadband Bonding Service supports Mushroom Networks' full product line including: Truffle targeting the large enterprise, Porcini for small to medium businesses, and PortaBella - an all new wireless solution that bonds multiple cellular data cards into a single shared connection. All products support a built-in VoIP quality manager to improve voice quality by minimizing latency for both inbound and outbound voice traffic. Mushroom's products also incorporate an internal router and stateful firewall capability that can be enabled by the user as needed along with support for standard Internet services such as port-forwarding, port binding, WAN interface binding, static IP, dynamic IP, PPPoE, DHCP, DMZ, UPnP, and Dynamic DNS.

Mushroom Networks' Broadband Bonding Service is available now for a monthly fee of $50 excluding the cost of the CPE equipment.
