Carrier neutral secure cellular service rolls out
This product is useful to businesses on two fronts. First, it supplies redundancy for business continuity capabilities. Second, it enables enterprise customers to take advantage of on-demand economy opportunities like rapid network connectivity deployment for site expansions and pop-up stores for retailers. Level 3 Secure Access Cellular is the latest addition to the company’s growing portfolio of managed security services, which includes its network-based DDoS Mitigation product launched in February 2015.
Level 3 Secure Access Cellular is now available in North America and will be available winter 2015 in Europe and spring 2016 in Latin America. It provides a cost-effective, reliable, secure alternative to purchasing diverse network paths and is cellular carrier-agnostic.
Level 3 Secure Access Cellular uses multi-vendor cellular connectivity to provide customers a back-up network connection for remote or branch locations, if a customer’s normal fiber connection is disrupted.
If a disruption occurs, the system is designed to switch from a dedicated Level 3 MPLS/IP Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to cellular backup connectivity through a LTE network. This cellular backup, the Secure Access Site product tunnel (IPsec), runs over a cellular 3G or 4G network instead of a broadband or DSL connection.
