Glossary: What is Bandwidth Aggregation?

Bandwidth aggregation merges multiple connections into one, boosting speed and reliability for high-demand applications.

This technique involves merging several links, such as broadband or cellular connections, to ensure faster data transfer and greater reliability. It is especially useful in load balancing and redundancy scenarios.

Practical Example of Bandwidth Aggregation

A business may use bandwidth aggregation to merge two internet lines—one fibre and one DSL—ensuring uninterrupted service even if one connection fails.
