    Sarian wins router contract with Fujitsu Services

New £5m deal will see company supply 12,000 wired/wireless routers for business continuity projects in UK.

Communications firm Sarian Systems has won a £5m contract with Fujitsu Services to supply it combined wired/wireless routers for UK business continuity deployments.

The deal, which includes a significant government infrastructure project in the UK, will see Sarian provide Fujitsu with 12,000 DR6410 routers, which offer ADSL broadband provision and monitoring with high-speed mobile backup.

The routers automatically detect broadband service problems and switch over to HSDPA or 3G networks in the event of a failure. The routers also contain dual SIM card slots, giving end users the ability to use two independent mobile networks as backup.

Tim Carter, contracts manager at Fujitsu, said that his company could now provide end-users with multiple primary and backup options for service delivery, "leaving them safe in the knowledge that their business-critical communications will not be compromised by network downtime."

Andy Hood, managing director at Sarian, said that HSDPA offered a "genuine mobile alternative to fixed line broadband".

"The major rollouts we're now witnessing add strength to our conviction that HSDPA is best-placed to win the battle of the emerging wireless technologies," he said.
