Carmel's car service dispatch solution is Web-based and demands 24/7 uptime for communicating with its drivers, so the slightest interruption in service can take the whole system down. Carmel needed a backup broadband network that would not only back up the primary Internet circuit but also keep the same IP addresses, allowing the continuity of incoming and outgoing voice and data communications.

Transbeam installed a T-1 line with an auto fail-over SDSL circuit, with each circuit originated from different networks, so to avoid one point of failure. The system automatically identifies potential circuit outages and requires no manual supervision or maintenance. The benefits-system downtime is eliminated, ensuring business continuity, allowing traffic to be unaffected in the event of a primary circuit outage.

"Carmel Car Service's dispatch system required a fail-proof network that will eliminate potential downtime and business interruption," said Avik Kabessa, CEO of Carmel Car Service. "Transbeam's Internet connectivity solution allows our client, driver and internal communications to be unaffected by third-party system failure."

"We are delighted to be working with Carmel," said Sam Kashi, president of Transbeam. "This deal further establishes Transbeam as the Internet connectivity provider of choice for businesses looking to set up fail-safe systems and eliminate system downtime. Our products are easily integrated into existing networks, so clients can enjoy the most advanced voice and data features, while keeping upgrade and maintenance costs to a minimum."
