Today's businesses increasingly rely on the Internet to transmitmission-critical company information securely between headquarters and remote locations. Small businesses, retail stores, hotels, banks and gas stations exchange customer purchase and inventory information with every transaction. A critical success factor ineach case is the ability to transmit this information securely and to ensure that network connectivity is always available, even in areas where wired networks -DSL, leased line, ISDN and others -are either not available or prohibitively expensive. Relying on dial-up for Internet access is slow and using it as a backup to DSL introduces a single point of failure because both share the same physical land-line. In addition, businesses need to rapidly build secure mobile and temporary networks for seasonal kiosks, mobile point-of-sale carts, overflow ATM machines, emergency response, disaster recovery applications and more.
