Optimum Business Launches Business Connection Backup, a New Managed Service Designed to Safeguard Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Business Connection Backup maintains the lifeline of business-critical systems to ensure uninterrupted connectivity during unforeseen primary data service disruptions

NEW YORK (November 22, 2024) - Today, Optimum Business announces the launch of Business Connection Backup, a new managed service that helps keep small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) up and running in the event of a network or power outage of their primary data service. Business Connection Backup is the latest service that Optimum Business offers to its SMB customers, alongside access to award-winning internet, mobile, and business phone services across its 21-state footprint.

The launch of Business Connection Backup leans into Optimum's mission to bring customers the reach and connectivity resources of a large national provider with the localized care and support of a small business to cater to the unique connectivity needs of each customer, business, and community it serves.

Available at $30 per month, Business Connection Backup is a service that provides a reliable, automatic backup internet connection specifically designed for point-of-sale systems and other business-critical devices. During a network disruption, Business Connection Backup offers maximum reliability by leveraging multiple cellular providers in the area and automatically chooses the strongest signal for backup internet. With a built-in battery, this automatic failover solution can run for up to eight hours, even during power outages. Business Connection Backup easily integrates into customers' existing Optimum Business Secure Internet for seamless connectivity at all times.

"SMBs are the lifeblood of our local communities, which is why it is so important that we continue to innovate and evolve our offerings for them.
