Real bundling of up to six WAN links
The Multichannel VPN Router lets you bundle up to six broadband lines into a single high available connection. Unlike existing load balancing technologies our router is the first to enable real bundling of arbitrary types of lines. For example, you can combine four ADSL lines from different providers with a synchronous SDSL line and a EDGE/UMTS wireless connection. The LAN sees these connections as one single line providing the accumulated up- and downstream of the different lines even for single downloads.

Arbitrary combinations of line types and ISPs
This technology enables a previously unattainable flexibility in selecting Internet access packages. You are no longer bound to a specific carrier—instead you can flexibly select lines suitable for your requirements, replacing expensive leased lines with low-cost consumer products like ADSL.
Freely mix and match DSL, ISDN, UMTS and other line types.
Fail-safe risk distribution
The Multichannel VPN Router's novel bundling technique provides you with a new dimension in fail-safe connectivity: single lines going down never cause connection aborts. Instead only the total available bandwidth gets reduced by the faulting line's throughput. The available bandwidth automatically increases as soon as the line goes back up again.
By combining different access providers and media types you get a highly available connection – the outage risk gets distributed and thereby minimized significantly.
Up to six internal modem cards for different access types can be plugged into the Multichannel VPN Router. The whole system is hotplug-enabled—lines and modems can be added, exchanged or removed during operation without interrupting connections. The ethernet module lets you easily integrate line types for which an internal modem module is not yet available.

Range of use
Detailed information on how to use the Multichannel VPN Router to connect office branches is available at our solution overview
Connect company branches with VPNs
The Multichannel VPN Router is the ideal base for building a powerful VPN network between office branches. The router establishes a VPN tunnel to a central „VPN Hub“ via a internet line bundle custom-tailored to the branch's requirements. This link is used for communicating with other branches and the internet.
The VPN Client (sold separately) smoothly integrates single workstations (road warriors, home offices) into your VPN network.
In addition to the advantages of the bundling technique (high bandwidth, fail-safe mode of operation), the Multichannel VPN Router offers superior security features like separate 256 bit AES encryption with optional certificate-based authentification for each line.

Fast and fail-safe internet connectivity
By linking it with a peer located at an Internet backbone (e.g. at an ISP or in a colocation center), the Multichannel VPN Router can be used to provide your company office with a high-bandwidth, high-available Internet connection. By bundling several lines into one, the Multichannel VPN Router is especially useful for locations where broadband connectivity is scarce. A single Multichannel VPN Router can enable up to 100Mbit/s bandwidth, depending on local availability of Internet lines.
Nowadays Internet connection reliability is more important than ever – for many companies, downtime leads to considerable loss in sales or even a total standstill. While even expensive leased lines rarely reach a yearly availability of 98%, the Multichannel VPN Router's line bundling offers a low-cost solution to spread the risk and attain a previously considered impossibly high availability of over 99.99%.
Cost and benefits
The Multichannel VPN Router makes reliable broadband WAN networking affordable even for small businesses. Classical business leased line packages with backup lines and guaranteed service have long contract durations and can easily cause four figure expenses per month, whereas the Viprinet technology harnesses low-cost consumer broadband lines to create a far more cost-effective solution.
Investing in Viprinet technology pays off in no time at all: A typical Multichannel VPN Router configuration including line modules amounts to under 2,500 EUR / 1,800 USD (RRP excluding VAT) and achieves significant savings in monthly fees compared to conventional WAN connectivity solutions. Furthermore, a highly available connection minimizes the risk of losing sales due to a standstill caused by line failure.
