- Increase bandwidth capacity
- Achieve 99.9999% Internet uptime

Traffic can easily build up within a network due to certain applications such as VoIP and during peak periods. If your bandwidth capacity is low, then this can cause data packets to queue up (congestion) or data packet loss. Load Balancing provides a logical grouping of multiple Internet connections into an organisation's network instead of a single connection to increase bandwidth capacity and availability.
LIMA Networks UBM optimises the use of the available bandwidth by distributing Internet traffic down each Internet connection. With traffic being shared among each Internet connection at the same time and rate, there is less congestion and delays for the end user. Furthermore, the Load Balancing distribution shall ensure that data packets from the same stream (origination) are not forwarded out of order. LIMA's UBM enables you to connect various Internet access technology, including ADSL, Cable, Leased Lines, SDSL and ISDN, etc..
