Cover Story
The Sharedband service delivers great
value to businesses and significant
benefits to internet users worldwide
that need faster connection speeds, a
more resilient service, and a superior
broadband experience. For example,
if the best broadband connection you
can get in your area is 2Mb download
speed, then the solution can bond
two connections together and give
a 4Mb connection. More than two
connections can be bonded and faster
connections can be used, so four 8Mb
connections will give a super-fast
32Mb download connection with
upload speeds also multiplied.
The man behind the technology is
company founder and CEO Paul Evans,
a communications software specialist
whose career includes development roles
at BT Labs. Evans comments, “Sharedband
is now a mature product that works well
in the field and is highly scalable.”
Most enterprises now rely on their
internet connection as a ‘mission critical’
part of their business. A connection with
guaranteed uptime is not always cost
effective. Sharedband bridges the gap
between a typical DSL/broadband or
cable connection and expensive leased
lines. Combining two or more broadband
lines not only provides faster speed,
but also provides an automatic failover
solution without the cost of a standby
line. This allows businesses to take
advantage of greater uptime, resiliency,
and reliability, saving money in the
process.
More and more customers find that
the implementation of Sharedband
in failover mode is an easy to install,
low-cost way of adding a business
continuity solution to their vital Internet
connection. Sharedband increases their
download and upload speeds, and also
provides enhanced connectivity when
working in multi-user environments. The
resulting speed increase is comparable to
solutions that can cost ten times more.
Increasing speed provides better
quality Voice over IP and video
conferencing services, and helps ensure
that off-site data backups complete on
time. Sharedband is an excellent solution
for those who send large video, graphic,
or image files. Sharedband is being used
by many hotels and large corporations
for the provision of wi-fi at their sites,
as the solution is scalable it can be sized
to provide the optimum amount of
bandwidth per number of guests/users
at each site.With both the downstream
and upstream connections multiplied,
businesses can better use their time
by, for example, accessing cloud-based
services faster, or not having to wait as
long for transfers to complete.
It’s easy for Sharedband customers
to manage their account online using
a secure log-in to the Sharedband
customer portal. Once signed-in to
the secure portal a customer can see
