Hurricane Isabel: Redundant Copper Survived when Fiber Failed

Jannemieke L. Keener

Keener Communications is a 24-hour inbound Call Center, processing 150,000 call per month. State of the art technology, redundant systems and truly professional call center staff have made Keener a leader in this industry. Before the hurricane hit, Jannemieke had Infotel Systems install a backup PBX that uses a fault tolerant ISDN "DID over BRI" voice service. Having rich voice features of an ISDN PRI, it adds these fault tolerant features only available on copper.

"The simple architecture of Direct Dial over ISDN BRI adds to the level of reliability that survived a hurricane Isabel ! "10 hours after Isabel hit, our fiber voice T1 connections failed as the onsite batteries powering the fiber electronics went dead. Yet, our backup copper utilities never failed! We continued to process customer calls !"
-Jannemieke L. Keener, CEO - Keener Communications
