What is WAN Aggregation?

WAN Aggregation stands for Wide Area Network Aggregation. It is a technology designed to increase the performance and reliability of your IoT connectivity by combining (aka aggregating) multiple WAN connections into a single logical connection. In other words, it allows you to bundle multiple Internet connections into one powerful and stable connection. With WAN Aggregation, ISPs, hardware vendors, and manufacturers can help their customers offer more reliable and faster Internet connections with higher bandwidths.

How does WAN Aggregation work?

WAN Aggregation uses smart techniques to combine multiple WAN connections into a single, high-performance connection. This would require multiple WAN connections first. These can be different types of connections, such as broadband, 4G/5G, fiber, or satellite, depending on your needs and availability. Once the connections are set up, the WAN Aggregation software can distribute traffic across these connections based on certain criteria such as the current load on each connection, available bandwidth, and latency, among others. This allows the WAN Aggregation software to distribute traffic evenly among the available connections to have maximum efficiency.

In addition to distributing Internet traffic across connections, WAN Aggregation can apply data compression and optimization techniques to maximize data throughput and reduce latency. This helps to improve connection performance especially when sending large amounts of data over the network. Another important aspect of WAN Aggregation is its failover capabilities. If any of the connections fail or experience problems, the WAN-Aggregation software can automatically detect it. Then the traffic is automatically switched to other available and working connections. This minimizes any downtime.

WAN Aggregation can be managed and monitored from a central location. This allows network administrators to monitor the status of each WAN connection, analyze traffic, track statistics and make configuration changes as needed. It provides a holistic view of connections and enables effective management.

Benefits of WAN Aggregation?

  1. Offer unparalleled connectivity: With WAN Aggregation, connections can be linked into one powerful and stable connection to stay connected anytime, anywhere.
  2. Higher bandwidth: Linking several WAN connections into an uplink increases Internet bandwidth.
  3. Better reliability: With failover capability, in the event of a connection failure, traffic can be automatically redirected to available connections.
  4. Lower latency: With WAN Aggregation, traffic is intelligently sent over the fastest available connection. This results in lower latency and faster response times for your office applications.
  5. Scalability and Flexibility: WAN Aggregation provides the ability to easily add additional connections and scale capacity as your office grows. Whether adding new employees, opening new branches or implementing advanced technologies, WAN Aggregation easily adapts to your changing needs.

WAN Aggregation from Bondix Intelligence

Bondix Intelligence offers an excellent solution for WAN Aggregation on existing hardware with their Smart Aggregation of NEtworks (S.A.NE). For example, S.A.NE can be used with various Teltonika Networks router models. Using Teltonika’s RMS platform, you can easily add the S.A.NE software to your new or current Teltonika router and take advantage of high speeds, high bandwidth, low latency, efficiency and reliability.

There are three different licenses available from S.A.NE that differ only in throughput. Furthermore, they all include:

  • Each license comes with free Bondix S.A.NE Client and Server software.
  • Each license allows the use of at least 2 S.A.NE servers to ensure the utmost reliability from the beginning.
  • Bondix S.A.NE Bonding is already available for many Teltonika Networks router models, with more to follow.
