Engage Hurricane Sandy: Engage Circuit to Packet Solution Helps Restore T1 Voice and Data Service after Hurricane Sandy Disaster
APTOS, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
Engage Communication, a leading provider of circuit emulation, circuit
protection and encryption solutions, is facilitating accelerated
restoral of T1 circuits knocked out of service by Hurricane Sandy.
Combining Engage IP-Tube T1 to packet solutions with 4G/LTE (News - Alert) modems and
service, a global telecommunication service provider is restoring T1
service to business and critical infrastructure over cellular networks
while the physical T1 plant is repaired.
The easy to deploy T1-over-Cellular kits allow the Service
Provider to significantly reduce outage time by quickly re-routing
customer T1 traffic over the cellular network. Combining IP-Tube circuit
emulation with cellular modems, these T1 kits are deployed by
technicians at customer premises to immediately restore customer T1
Router or PBX (News - Alert) connectivity to the Central Office over the cellular
network.
With the increased performance of advanced cellular technologies, an
alternative method for backing up T1 links has emerged. Cellular network
bandwidth and reliability has increased to levels capable of supprting
backup connectivity for T1 circuits. Cellular technology has the added
benefit of on-demand capacity with quick connect times, reducing cost
and complexity.
For critical customers who need immediate service restoral, Engage
offers an automatic protection switching option called Link Protector,
that is permanently installed at the customers premise. Link Protector
continuously monitors the primary T1 connection and automatically
switches traffic to the backup cellular path when a failure on the
primary T1 is detected.
IP-Tube Circuit Emulation solutions from Engage
Communication bridge the gap between circuit-based T1 and packet-based
cellular technologies. IP-Tube enables T1 connections over packet
based wired, fiber, satellite, wireless and, now, next generation
cellular networks.

"This is definitely a case of "what goes around comes around". T1
circuits have often been used to backhaul Cellular traffic, but now
advanced packet-based Cellular networks are being used to backhaul T1
traffic." Mark Doyle president of Engage Communication.
Engage Communication, founded in 1989, has ROHS compliant
solutions that enable organizations to route, bridge,
encrypt, and auto protect Voice/Video/Data Networks and to take
advantage of the lower costs and flexibility
associated with Packet transport while preserving their
investment in Circuit based premises equipment such as: PBXs, Phone (News - Alert)
Switches, Voice and Data Multiplexors, Video and Audio
Codecs, and Encryptors…
