Shaw Business Gives Business Owners Peace of Mind With LTE Backup
January 21 2020 - 6:00PM
Shaw Communications Inc. today announced the launch of LTE Backup
for Shaw Business customers, a simple add-on solution that gives
business owners peace of mind in knowing that the tools and systems
they rely on are more equipped to stay online if a primary internet
connection disruption were ever to occur.
Should connected systems like Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminals and
cloud applications suffer an outage, the financial and reputational
impacts could be crippling. With LTE Backup from Shaw Business,
small businesses can worry less about these risks.
“Business owners depend on their critical systems and
applications to run smoothly and ensure they’re able to deliver the
best customer experiences possible,” said Katherine Emberly,
President, Business, Brand and Communications, Shaw Communications.
“With Shaw Business and LTE Backup, customers are able to rest
assured that their systems can stay connected, allowing them to
focus on what’s most important — running their business.”
Customers using LTE Backup identify the online systems and
applications that are essential to their business operations. If a
wireline internet outage occurs, the essential systems and
applications automatically and seamlessly switch to the LTE network
with no intervention from the customer. Once the wireline
connection is restored, the internet connection will automatically
switch back to the primary network.
LTE Backup is available as an add-on to new and existing Shaw
Business Internet and SmartWiFi customers for as low as $25 per
month.
