Over the next two weeks, we’ll be offering a 50-percent discount on the NetEqualizer Lite when you purchase one unit at full price.*Offering many of the same services available through other NetEqualizer models, the NetEqualizer Lite is a perfect entry level unit for administrators that don’t yet need the advanced capabilities of higher-level NetEqualizer models, such as NTOP reporting.Furthermore, the NetEqualizer Lite is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), handling up to 10 megabits of traffic and 100 users. It offers a great solution for those remote links where you don’t need a full-power NetEqualizer. This is especially true if you have a hidden node issue where some customer signals are getting crowded out.For more information on the NetEqualizer Lite, visit the links below or contact us at 800-918-2763 or sales@apconnections.net.
*Limit four units total per customer (two at full price and two at 50 percent off). Offer applies only to NetEqualizer Lite units and ends August 15, 2010. |

Seven Points To Consider When Planning Internet Redundancy
The chances of being killed by a shark are 1 in 264 million. Despite those low odds, most people worry about sharks when they enter the ocean, and yet the same people do not think twice about getting into a car without a passenger-side airbag.
And so it is with networking redundancy solutions. Many equipment purchase decisions are enhanced by an irrational fear (created by vendors) and not on actual business-risk mitigation.
The solution to this problem is simple. It’s a matter of being informed and making decisions based on facts rather than fear or emotion. While every situation is different, here a few basic tips and questions to consider when it comes to planning Internet redundancy.
1) Where is your largest risk of losing Internet connectivity?
Vendors tend to push customers toward internal hardware solutions to reduce risk. It has been our experience that your Internet router’s chance of catastrophic failure is about 1 percent over a three-year period. On the other hand, your internet provider has an almost 100-percent chance of having a full-day outage during that same three-year period.
2) Do not turn on unneeded bells and whistles on your router and firewall equipment.
