Abstract: Systems and methods for fault tolerant communication are provided. A base site is coupled to a central office via a channel service unit. The channel service unit is coupled to the central office via primary and secondary communications links. A first and second permanent virtual circuit couple the channel service unit to a wireless carrier core network. When there is a fault on the primary communication link or the primary permanent virtual circuit user network interface of an aggregator, the secondary communication link is established and the secondary permanent virtual circuit is activated. Communications are then routed to the wireless carrier core network via the secondary communication link and the secondary permanent virtual circuit.
