Q&A

Q: What exactly is a ROBO?

A: ROBO is the acronym for Remote Office / Branch Office. ROBO is a term used to refer to any offsite office that connects to the organization's WLAN or LAN externally. Asigra Televaulting is engineered to consolidate ROBOs into a central location. A ROBO can be geographically dispersed offices across any area (state, country, global). If not connected within the same network, floors within a building or buildings within a campus environment are ROBOs.
