The Benefits of Bonded Internet: Ensuring Uninterrupted Access to Critical Business Applications

In today’s digital age, businesses rely heavily on technology to operate efficiently. With critical applications such as SCADA, SAP, ERP, CRM, and HRM, it’s essential to ensure uninterrupted access to these applications, even during internet downtime. A stable and reliable IP address is one of the most critical aspects of any network infrastructure.

Traditionally, dedicated leased lines have been the go-to option for businesses that require a stable and reliable IP address infrastructure. However, the emergence of bonded internet is becoming more popular due to its reliability, redundancy, and flexibility.

Bonded internet is a system where there are 2-3 multiple connections from different ISPs bonded under an assigned static IP address. This system helps ensure minimal disruption to your business processes, as bonded internet typically allows for faster transfers, and internet redundancy, and improves overall internet security.
Helping domestic chicken farms getting strong internet

Let’s take the example of a domestic chicken farm HQ, which has two dedicated leased lines. One leased line (line A) is attached to 5 (five) essential applications, such as: HRM, ERP, SMS gateway, CRM, and SAP. Another leased line (line B) is connected to 3 (three) applications: SCADA, production, and IoT automation.

When line A is down, the 5 critical applications are not functional immediately. The IT manager will need to switch their application IP address to line B (100.1.0.193) for internet access. This switching process is tedious and time-consuming and can cause significant disruptions to business operations.

When line A (82.129.80.111) is down, IT manager will need to switch the application IP address to line B (100.1.0.193) to ensure continuity in operation.

With the implementation of the LNS bonded internet solution, if ISP A experiences an interruption, LNS Next Gen bonded internet will instantly provide backup from both ISP B and ISP C. This will allow all critical applications to continue functioning seamlessly with the same static IP address, without requiring any IP address switching. As a result, the risk of critical application interruption will be significantly reduced, and there will be minimal disruption to your business processes. Additionally, Line A and B can be bonded together with Line C acting as a redundancy using the LNS solution.

With LNS Next-Gen bonded internet, Line A + B + C are bonded together as redundancy.

Moreover, bonded internet can bond with microwaves and 4G LTE, which serve as excellent alternative internet redundancies. After switching to bonded internet, the domestic chicken farm experienced no downtime, and their operations continued without disruptions. They could even add new applications to the network without worrying about network interruptions or disturbances.

  • Another advantage of bonded internet is that it allows for faster data transfer. This is exceedingly beneficial for businesses that rely on applications such as SCADA or IoT automation that require real-time data transfers.
  • On the other hand, bonded internet also provides improved overall internet security. Each connection comes from a different ISP, making it difficult for any potential hackers to penetrate the network.
