Sharedband Bonding

The Internet and e-mail have now become such an essential part of everyday business life it is difficult to think back to what life was like before their advent. More and more businesses are requiring ever increasing bandwidth demands out of their ADSL circuits.

Most organisations have a stark choice, either be constrained to the limited capabilities furnished by a single, low capacity ADSL line, or spend a significantly larger amount on a private circuit. For high-value sites such as a company HQ, private circuits are a justifiable expense. However for the vast majority of small and medium size businesses, government sites, home workers and multi-site retail organisations, deploying these expensive resources is not economically viable.

Until recently there had been no alternative to obtain more bandwidth to such expensive private circuits, but fortunately that has now changed with the introduction of Sharedband.

Sharedband enables the upstream and downstream bandwidth of multiple Internet connections to be aggregated. For example two 2Mbps download, 250kbps upload ADSL lines could be pooled with Sharedband, to provide up to a 4Mbps download and 500kbps upload connection. Because this aggregation occurs at the IP layer, multiple Internet Service Providers and wholesale infrastructures can be used - which significantly improves resilience when compared to a single provider solution.

Sharedband will also soon be able to support any type of Internet connection, including ADSL, SDSL, private circuits, cable and wireless.

Sharedband can provide a complete end-to-end software solution to fill the connectivity void between a single ADSL line and private circuits. The main components of the solution are:

• Sharedband Router software, installed on commodity devices at the customers’ premises
• Aggregation server software, which is installed on low-cost equipment at a hosting facility
• Web management for easy provisioning, configuration, monitoring and support of Sharedband installations

Sharedband works by splitting large files into small segments which are transmitted in parallel over several lines and recombined at the other end. By combining the capacity of two ordinary Broadband connections, Sharedband delivers twice the performance. Use four connections, and you get up to four times the speed.

By utilising a Sharedband solution organisations will enjoy:

• Improved resilience with increased connection speeds by up to four times
• Dramatic performance gains - upload and download in as little as a quarter of the time
• Greater resilience by smoothing over line drops
• Easy installation - works with standard Broadband routers and services
• Scalability to quickly and easily meet demand by adding new lines

Shareband is Ideal for bandwidth-hungry online applications such as multiple VoIP and VPNs (PPTP currently supported).
