Duallink from Moving-Edge.net
February 02, 2004
Moving-edge has released its Duallink product into the wider marketplace. Duallink was originally developed for corporate web cafe rollout where the client required a greater upstream speed than ADSL could provide. Moving-edge received so many enquires where the Duallink would be of benefit that we decided to release the product to the public.
The service uses two low contention (5:1) ADSL lines which are bonded using a managed Cisco router. The service can be provided with a downstream speed of 1, 2 or 4Mbps and an upstream speed of 512Kbps. In addition to the increased speeds the service is also more resilient than a normal ADSL connection.
Applications that Duallink is particularly suited to include VPNs (particularely at the head office) and VoIP. Not only will the increased speed give better performance for remote user and allow greater volumes of call traffic, but the low contention should increase overall performance and quality of service.
The technical director Richard Grimwood said "There are two barriers to ADSL usage that people are running into; the contention ratio and the upload cap. We have shown that by combining two ADSL 5:1 links we get an upstream of 512K and a significantly improved and robust solution".
Alex Studd managing director commented "With a range of 6Km from the local telephone exchange this is a real solution to bandwidth requirements now and where other DSL services will never reach. January this year (2004) has seen the first installations of Duallink for the VPN market and I expect to see it match the web cafe market in becoming the standard method of connection for locations where SDSL services are not yet available.
