LANcare Advanced
Professional services in connection with business continuity are key to efficient network operation. So, it is best to protect your device directly when you purchase it. With LANcare Advanced, you receive security updates throughout the entire product lifecycle as well as an entitlement to technical support directly from the manufacturer. LANcare Advanced also offers you the highest level of investment protection and minimal downtime with its integrated advance replacement. In the event of a hardware defect, a replacement device will be delivered to you on the next business day.
Note: LANcare Advanced only applies within the EU. For replacement service outside the EU, please refer to LANcare Basic.
- Software maintenance via security updates until End of Life (EOL) status of the device (min. 5 years)
- Support entitlement until EOL status of the device (min. 5 years, support access required)
- Shorter downtimes due to 5 years advance replacement with next business day delivery for a LANCOM device from LANcare Advanced registration (max. until EOL status of the device)
- Registration within the first three months after purchase of the LANCOM device
- Available as S, M, L, and XL variants, depending on device type
- Several LANCOM devices in HA cluster require a LANcare Advanced registration per device
This illustration shows how our software maintenance is based on the product lifecycle.
High planning reliability with security updates
With LANcare Advanced, you can plan ahead and benefit from full protection throughout the entire product lifecycle of the device – i.e. for at least another five years. Particularly in long-term projects, LANcare Advanced ensures reliable, secure business operations beyond an official product discontinuation. This includes free software maintenance via security updates of the respective operating system to keep your device running at the highest level of security until the End of Life date.
For more information on software maintenance and the product lifecycle of your device, please visit the LANCOM Software Lifecycle Management website.
Technical support directly from the manufacturer
To ensure the safe operation of your devices, it may be helpful to contact the technical manufacturer support directly. For technical support or fault reports, LANCOM Support staff are on hand to offer advice and assistance. With an existing support access, you therefore receive professional support for LANCOM devices for which LANcare Advanced is registered until the End of Life date of your device. You can purchase support access, for example, through a support contract or the LANCOM Service Packs 24/7 or 10/5.
For comparison: Without LANcare Advanced and after the device warranty expires, LANCOM support is only available at a fee.
Fast advance replacement including delivery on the next business day
By purchasing products from LANCOM, you are choosing reliable and durable products, but failures and malfunctions do occur sometimes. With LANcare Advanced, you reduce the downtime of your network to a minimum and benefit for five years from an advance replacement of the device for which LANcare Advanced has been registered. If you report a support case by 2 p.m., you will receive a replacement device by the next working day. This means that your network will be fully operational again within the shortest possible time.
Excluded are all LANCOM unmanaged switches, AirLancer products, and accessories. LANCOM Systems offers the LANcare Advanced for metropolitan areas within the EU (excluding islands). For information about the terms and conditions in your country, please contact your local distributor.
