Fixed IP SIMs for remote management and DSL back-up

If you use Cloud based applications, having a fixed IP 3G connection as a back-up is a great safety net. The fixed IP lets you access application protected by a firewall to keep your business moving forward even when broadband fails.

New Application Story - Building the digital High Street. Anvil recently deployed over a thousand fixed IP SIMs in 3G routers to pop-up kiosks in mobile phone shops. The private IPVPN spans 3 separate mobile networks and incorporates fixed line broadband for sites with no mobile coverage. The network is managed as a single logical network and the private IP addresses are used to securely deliver new audio/video/data content to large screens via an on-site PC used as a web & media server. The health of the PC and screen are also monitored through the 3G connection to quickly identify where any problems arise. The screens are touch sensitive and customers can interact with the display and tap for more information and video demos of the products they like.

This makes the shopping experience more engaging and fun and for potential customers. It is basically retail entertainment and smart marketing. Organisations who want to embrace mobile technology but are concerned about potential miss-use of unfettered internet connectivity can use an IPVPN to force all internet traffic either to a specific application or to be forced through the corporate gateway to the internet. This gives the same level of protection as users sitting on a LAN in the office. Businesses who need more bandwidth can make use of the Anvil managed service for bonding multiple SIMs or fixed lines to achieve the speeds they need.
