Scheduled batch processing applications are used for periodic database updates, such as retail inventory, or distributions, such as airline fare schedules. These updates are primarily done after business hours and are often referred to as nightly file transfers. Wideband meets the high bandwidth requirements at low cost for scheduled batch processing. With Wideband, the dedicated-access bandwidth for busy-hour switching traffic can be used for these applications after business hours. Thus, no additional bandwidth costs are incurred.

The non-ISDN backup data connection is also appropriate for scheduled batch processing applications. Administered Connections are used to schedule daily or weekly sessions that originate from this application.
