Ventus Sees Continued Stream of Frame Relay Conversions


NORWALK, CT – July 17, 2015 Ventus, the leading provider of managed connectivity solutions for financial institutions, has seen a steady flow of financial industry clients moving their retired frame relay circuits to managed 4G LTE wireless connections. As major carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and CenturyLink phase out their frame relay service, banks and credit unions find value, broad coverage, and speed to market by switching to Ventus managed network solutions and V-Series wireless hardware.



Ventus managed 4G LTE service can offer significant technical advantages over end-of-life frame relay circuits, such as higher bandwidth, better uptime statistics and ease of installation. Coverage is not an issue for Ventus customers replacing their frame relay service, thanks to the company’s partnerships with all major wireless carriers. Furthermore, wireless offers a significant cost savings over frame relay running on a 56k circuit.

As carriers continue to retire their frame relay circuits, financial institutions can benefit from switching to 4G LTE, whether they are seeking a long-term rollout plan or require a fast turnaround. Len Gaulin, Senior Account Executive with Ventus, recounts a recent frame relay conversion. “Our customer, a top 25 bank, had several ATMs connected through a different provider at a high-traffic casino in Reno, NV. When their other provider unexpectedly disconnected their frame relay service, the ATMs went offline, presenting our client with significant customer service issues on a holiday weekend. They reached out to the Ventus 24x7 technical support center, hoping we might be able to provide a solution. The call was properly escalated and the customer received overnight shipping of activated 4G LTE V2000 routers, pre-configured for easy out of box deployment.” Businesses who want to learn more about the best replacement for their frame relay connections can submit a coverage check request at http://www.ventusnetworks.com/services/wireless/coverage, or call 1.866.949.9994.
