Sierra Wireless Helix for business continuity

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

The Helix RT can provide business continuity for any office location, ensuring connectivity even in the event of fixed line failure. Intelligent WAN failover detects when primary connectivity is unavailable and automatically switches to the enbedded cellular modem inside the Helix RT to ensure no disruption of the business. With ALEOS intelligence, the Helix RT continues to monitor the health of the primary connection and switches back as soon as connectivity is restored. Automatic failover translates into minimal downtime.
