CALGARY — Shaw Communications announced Tuesday it is introducing LTE Backup for Shaw Business customers, a simple add-on solution that ensures businesses’ critical applications stay online and operational during network disruptions.
Customers using LTE Backup identify the online systems and applications that are essential to their business operations, such as point-of-sale terminals and cloud applications. If a wireline Internet outage occurs, the essential systems and applications automatically and seamlessly switch to the LTE network with no intervention from the customer. Once the wireline connection is restored, the Internet connection will automatically switch back to the primary network, Shaw explains in the news release.
“Business owners depend on their critical systems and applications to run smoothly and ensure they’re able to deliver the best customer experiences possible,” said Katherine Emberly, president of business, brand and communications at Shaw Communications, in the release. “With Shaw Business and LTE Backup, customers are able to rest assured that their systems can stay connected, allowing them to focus on what’s most important — running their business.”
LTE Backup is available as an add-on to new and existing Shaw Business Internet and SmartWiFi customers for as low as $25 per month, the release says.
