Case Study: a multi-national fast food restaurant chain achieves seamless branch connectivity and zero-downtime failover with Peplink SD-WAN

Branch Network Upgrade Brings Utmost Transparency

A multi-national fast food restaurant chain approached Peplink with the challenge of upgrading its SD-WAN setup across over 1000 branches in the Asia Pacific region. The existing single broadband connection lacked fault tolerance, suffered from insufficient bandwidth, and caused unexpected interruptions, making it difficult to support internal POS systems and staff Wi-Fi.

Peplink implemented a solution utilizing its Balance 20X router with an additional cellular link and AP One AX Lite access points at each branch, connected back to a central FusionHub virtual appliance. This allowed for SpeedFusion VPN tunnels, bandwidth bonding, and seamless hot failover, which eliminated unpredictable interruptions and downtime. The result was greatly improved reliability and business continuity, while the Peplink InControl 2 system provided their IT team with full transparency for remote management and monitoring of the entire network.
