Costain Group implemented an innovative cellular connectivity solution from Onwave using Peplink router technology. The solution bonds multiple cellular connections to form a secure tunnel back to Onwave's datacenter, aggregating traffic into a single optimized link routed through Costain's core MPLS network. This provides "always on" access to Costain's internal systems for project teams from day one on site. Over 40 of Costain's sites are now connected using the service, consuming an average of 2 terabytes of data per month.
