Path Diversity

Guaranteed network connectivity is not a given.

Networks are carefully designed and implemented to ensure they are resilient and diverse to be able to react swiftly and have the necessary resources to re-route traffic during planned and unplanned network changes.

To ensure continued business operations, CMC Networks’ diverse and flexible network infrastructure supports the extensive range of all products, which can be mixed and matched to ensure no single point of failure and to facilitate the desired and required service levels.

This can be achieved by the following:

• Dual Customer Premises Equipment (CPE):

  Active/Passive or Active/Active modes.

• Local Loop Diversity:

  Diverse technology (Fibre, Wireless and Satellite), North and South points of entry and provider diversity guaranteeing no single point of failure (SPOF) in the telco exchange.

• Service Location Diversity:

  *Geographically diverse Service Locations.

• Undersea Cable:

  Access to multiple submarine cable systems.

• International Termination Diversity:

  Provides the ability to terminate (NNI) international traffic in geographically diverse locations.
