What is SD-WAN & LTE Internet Backup?

SD-WAN stands for Software-Defined Wide Area Network. It is a technology that allows for the management of multiple network connections, such as broadband and 4G/5G LTE, among others, in a unified and simplified way. SD-WAN provides increased agility, security, and performance optimization for enterprise networks, enabling efficient traffic routing and load balancing across various network paths.

LTE Internet Backup is a technology that provides a failover solution for SD-WAN networks. It involves the use of a wireless cellular connection, typically LTE or 5G, to provide backup internet connectivity when the primary network connection fails. In this scenario, the SD-WAN system automatically detects the network outage and switches to the backup LTE connection, ensuring that the network remains connected and functional. LTE Internet backup is a useful solution for organizations that require uninterrupted connectivity and don’t want any network downtime.

When combined, SD-WAN and LTE Internet Backup create a robust and reliable networking infrastructure that provides high availability and quality of service. SD-WAN technology enables businesses to manage and prioritize network traffic, while LTE Internet Backup ensures that the network is always available, even in the event of a primary internet outage.
