  Description 


THIS IS A STATE-OF-THE-ARTS, WORLD CLASS BROADBAND ROUTER WITH NO EQUALS!

Edimax’s EnduraLINK ER-1088 is the world first and only 8-WAN Multi-homing Router, and it has the highest number of WAN ports, and in addition, it is also a fault-tolerant, load balancing VPN router with an enterprise-class firewall as well.  It is the best solution for any organization such as a wireless ISPs, ISPs, non-profits, scientific institutes, schools, government institutes & agencies, and businesses.  It makes perfect sense for all enterprise because it is the most cost effective fault-tolerant bandwidth solutions available.

How to get the highest bandwidth at the lowest cost?

The highest bandwidth is achieved by connecting 8 low-cost broadband links such as xDSL, cable, satellite, and etc. For example:  at current time:  (June 2006)

So, with 8 ADSL lines that cost less than $600 per a month you can have a combined download bandwidth of greater than a 45 Mbps DS3 line which cost over $2500 per a month.  Just purchasing a DS3 router is at least $4000.  The best analogy for the multiWAN is to compare it to a 16-lane super-highway.  Imagine the traffics that a 16-lane superhighway can carry!   Similarly, the total data packets traffics capacity is correspondingly  increased by a 8-WAN data super-highway. (8 WAN lines bi-directionally is equivalent to a 16-lane)

Replace your costly T1 monthly fee with multiple WAN Lines and the EnduraLINK ER-1088

The EnduraLINK ER-1088 "paid-for-itself" in a couple of months by replacing your expensive T1 or E1 monthly fee with 2 low cost ADSL or Cable Lines.  As the above table indicated, you will get a combined total bandwidth of 12 Megabits up and 1.5 Megabits down as compared to a T1 bandwidth of 1.5 Megabits up & down. You'll also get better performance and non-stop fault tolerance as well as substantial money savings every month.

Failsafe, non-stop Internet - no modern Internet enterprises can afford to be down!

With multiple WAN connections and the EnduraLINK ER-1088, you will get the effective combined 8-WAN speeds for all your LAN users.  You will also get a redundant, fault-tolerant, and fail-over capability to insure that you will have non-stop Internet access when some of the ISP's link is down.  If your 8 WAN links is spread among 2 or 3 different ISPs, it would be exceeding rare for all the ISPs to be disconnected simultaneously.  To some businesses this reliable connection is vital because the downtime of even just a few minutes is equal to quite a bit of revenue loss.  That is why we named our product EnduraLINK.
