It allows you to establish a point-to-point Internet connection between two computers located in distant locations (e.g. an external workstatkion at a stadium or theater and a control room in the headquartes), using two or more different systems at the same time, such as an ADSL connection over cable and a 4G mobile data connection, or multiple mobile data connections with different carriers. This minimizes the possibility of delays or loss of the link when one network becomes saturated. In particular, services like audio streaming will have virtually no audible interruption.
