Do you need to connect multiple offices and mobile workers?
Is your current network inefficient and unreliable?
Do you need a better value network fitting your requirements?
Do you need all your users securely inside your Company network?
ReliaLink does not have one product or method for connecting your multi-site/mobile staff requirements. We provide the best value solution that fits your Company efficiently and reliably. Contact us to let us know exactly what you require and we will find what you need. See below for examples.
Connecting Regional Offices to HQ
Do you need to connect several regional offices and home workers to a central HQ? With the variability of the Internet in different places (and rural often poorly served) will result in using different Internet providers resulting in support complexities and higher costs. ReliaLink can provide service to all the offices using the best mobile provider in the area for each office with just one contact for support. We can provide fixed public IP services and multi-network SIMs that allow you to integrate your offices (including international offices) and home workers into your Company network.
We can provide Private APNs to create a private network for integrated connectivity across the Company. With more people working at home it is also possible to connect those people even if they are living in poorly served areas. Using a high gain antenna we can link them into the mobile network even if at the edge or just outside the edge of coverage. We can keep costs low by sharing the data used via pooled or aggregated data so that variable data use is managed.
We can provide backup services to your cabled sites or to the 4G sites using satellite connections for full geographical redunancy.
Connecting Mobile Staff
Your sales team and mobile operation staff may need to have Internet in their fleet vehicles or tablet/PDA devices to quickly report back to central office. However, with variable signal availability from one single mobile network, often there is poor or no connectivity available in some locations. Using multi-network SIMs we can ensure that as long as one of the four networks (O2, Vodafone, EE & 3) have service in the area, your mobile staff will always have connectivity.
By using pooled or aggregated data services, variability of data use from month to month by different staff is optimised to meet the total data usage required rather than individual use.
Using a Private APN will allow every user to be securely linked into your Company network using a single VPN thus avoiding multiple VPNs and Fixed Public IP Addresses improving security with less management.
Internet of Things
Where you have several remote devices, often with low data requirements, using one network supplier will result in variable performance and often sites exist where the link is unreliable or impossible to connect. This is a common issue with IoT from meter readings, agrigulural monitoring to vehicle tracking and many other similar applications. ReliaLink can provide multi-network SIMs that will connect to any of the mobile networks in the area so not dependent on a single mobile network. If masts go down in an area these SIMs will automatically change to an alternative network's mast to keep the device connected. The increased reliability and applicability provides high value to your network.
If you need to keep all the devices securely connected in a single Company network then our Private APNs will provide this for you.
Ultimately, if you have sites where mobile connectivity proves impossible even with high gain antennas, ReliaLink can provide satellite solutions with or without fixed public IP addresses.
PRIVATE APN
A Private APN enables you to set up your own private network over the mobile LTE network and using Multi-network SIMs your network will extend over all the UK mobile networks and many in Europe too. The network can be extended into up to 190 countries in the world, though price does increase as the number of countries increases (countries are in Zones and prices are set to support access in these Zones).
With a Private APN you are able to connect all your devices into your own Company network securely without needing Fixed Public IPs or many VPNs thus reducing the management of the links and ensuring each device is directly connected to your in-house servers. You only need one VPN or VLAN or Ethernet line connected to the Mobile Manager from where the connectivity to all the devices and sites on the Private APN are controlled and routed.
With multi-network SIMs you can use a Private APN for your mobile workforce who may have PDAs (e.g. to record deliveries), in vehicles needing to report back location and maybe telemetry information or other data from devices that are located in unmanned or other people's sites. You do not need to worry about which mobile operator is available as long as just one is available and this will work across borders and in many countries seamlessly. This ultimately provides security of your data over the mobile network too, a critical requirement in today's data enviromnment and GDPR laws.
