Adds Gateways to Provide Secure Connectivity to Internet and Cloud-based Applications
NEPTUNE, N.J., Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectrotel, Inc., a next-generation aggregator and leading integrated communication services provider, today announced it is enhancing its existing secure SD-WAN service, powered by Fortinet® with the addition of Spectrotel-owned gateways hosted at Equinix, the world's digital infrastructure company™. Leveraging Network Edge services on Platform Equinix®, Spectrotel now has the ability to provide nationwide, quality connectivity and full application layer security to internet and cloud-based applications while eliminating the need for multiple devices.
As hybrid workforces become the norm, IT leaders increasingly need and require integrated networking and security solutions. According to a recent study* 60% of companies cite network security as a critical component when selecting an SD-WAN managed services provider. The addition of gateways to Spectrotel's Secure SD-WAN service, powered by Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, broadens the security measures that are increasingly critical in today's IOT-centric business environment, providing a migration path to ZTNA and SASE. Spectrotel's geo-redundant gateways available via Network Edge on Platform Equinix also help companies access multicloud applications at the largest peering points at the core of the Internet. This gives organizations "single hop" connectivity to their cloud applications, reducing latency and enhancing user experience.

- SD-WAN networking and security in a single device
- Complete unified threat protection at the application layer
- Quality traffic management between SD-WAN locations
