Cybera SmartNetwork^SM is an affordable, fully managed, broadband secure networking solution. Cybera's next generation SmartNetwork architecture is able to integrate any form of broadband access into a totally secure data network customized to the needs of the multi-location business customer. Unlike Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions, SmartNetwork does not rely on the public Internet, thereby providing customers with greater security, performance, and reliability. All SmartNetwork solutions include:

• Full management with on-site installation, 24/7 monitoring, proactive response, and on-site
  maintenance
• The industry's most comprehensive service level agreement (SLA)
• A complete network solution with no hidden costs

Versatile
Through its unique architecture, SmartNetwork is able to support a broader range of customer applications than any other network solution. For each SmartNetwork connection, bandwidth can be scaled to meet the needs of current or future applications. Also, with customizable policies for prioritization of data SmartNetwork is the ideal choice for:

• Financial transaction communication for credit/debit, stored value, ATM, loan, gift and loyalty program processing
• Enterprise applications supporting inventory management, human resources, accounting,
  marketing, customer loyalty and communication
• Real-time applications such as voice over IP, video conferencing, and video surveillance
• Secure connectivity that exceeds federal and industry requirements for healthcare, government, and financial services
• IP-enabled applications including Citrix and other thin-client solutions

Affordable
No other network solution provides the value of SmartNetwork. Compared to Frame Relay and VPN, SmartNetwork is typically 50 percent to 75 percent less costly on a monthly basis. Also, when considering total cost of ownership, SmartNetwork provides the following additional savings:

• With the core routing and security intelligence built into the SmartNetwork core, the customer's
  premise equipment can be much simpler and less expensive
• Since Cybera is responsible for managing and implementing the entire SmartNetwork solution, the customer is spared the
  expense of managing several carriers and equipment vendors
• SmartNetwork's all-in-one pricing means no hidden fees or service charges
• Cybera’s 24/7 management and networking expertise reduce the cost of internal or contract IT resources

Reliable and Responsive
Cybera backs each SmartNetwork with one of the most comprehensive SLAs in the industry. Unlike other carrier SLAs, SmartNetwork's 5-part guarantee covers security, performance, and reliability over the entire network and per connection. Since its initial launch, SmartNetwork solutions have delivered overall uptime greater than 99.977%, including last mile connectivity.
