Business continuity / wireless gateway solution for enterprises launched
The solution addresses both business continuity and disaster recovery and uses 24x7 remote technical and integration support from Lucent's services organization and the Top Global patented MobileBridge mobile/portable wireless communications gateway. MobileBridge functions as a gateway to connect a client's private data network to any service provider's cellular data network. For business continuity, MobileBridge remains in hot standby mode when IP traffic is flowing normally along the primary data path. When a network interruption is detected, MobileBridge automatically establishes a high-speed broadband wireless link and all data traffic gets routed over the cellular data network. During this period, auto-reconnect is enabled to maintain a consistent, stable, wireless broadband link. When the primary data path is restored, the MobileBridge disconnects automatically and returns to hot standby mode until needed again. "By enabling wireless business continuity, Lucent is helping its customers to maintain their operations during network outages," said Sandip Mukerjee, vice president, Lucent Technologies Applications Solutions Business Unit. "The VPN capabilities built into the solution can support the security needed for remote access to enterprise applications over the public network, making the Lucent-Top Global offer a secure, simple to use and cost effective solution for business continuity or office-on-the-go applications." MobileBridge leverages 1xRTT, EVDO, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA wireless data networks to maintain the connectivity between a client's location and the Internet, or other corporate networks. http://www.lucent.com
