"Guaranteed uptime is the cornerstone of our service and we pride ourselves in offering businesses a highly reliable wireless broadband connection that can be installed quickly and scaled just as easily," said Jeff Thompson, CEO of Towerstream. "With Hi-Vi T1+ we are offering Chicago businesses an added layer of assurance that their broadband service is fully supported and uninterrupted no matter what applications are running over it -- VoIP, video, or high capacity data."
With High-Availability T1+ businesses are guaranteed to receive 99.999% availability 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. Customers who purchase the Hi-Vi T1+ product are assured their service will have less than a minute of downtime per month. Any additional service interruptions will be covered under the terms of the SLA agreement and customers will be credited the appropriate amount pending on the length of the outage if one ever occurs
Towerstream is able to offer the Hi-Vi T1+ by providing customers with two separate T1 connections, each pointing at different base stations around the city. By doing this, Towerstream provides true last mile redundancy to its customers in need of a reliable broadband service. This combined with Towerstream's redundant wireless ring architecture in the sky gives customers a complete wireless broadband solution.
