Bandwidth to Support Convergence
Convergence means combining or converging voice, data and video onto a single network. Enterprises usually need to expand their LAN bandwidth and set up a QoS or Quality of Service priority system to give priority to real-time streams such as telephone calls or video conference feeds, which are more sensitive to network delays than data transfers. Most often, the common protocol for convergence is IP.

Carrier Ethernet is Available Now
Carrier Ethernet Services are already available in major metropolitan areas from competitive carriers such as XO Communications. You can order 10 Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connections to match your current network bandwidth.

Where does a VPN make sense?
A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a security technique to allow public networks, like the Internet, to be used for secure private data transmission. Since Internet access is almost universally available, using VPN software to encrypt data into private tunnels is more cost effective than building a fully meshed network to connect many locations.

How does managed security work?
Companies that specialize in network security install VPNs and managed firewalls that they remotely monitor from a network operations center. A dedicated security team that specializes in knowing what threats are out there, when they are coming for your network and what to do to mitigate the threat provides the vigilance for a multitude of clients.

What is 2BASE-TL?
The 2BASE-TL designation refers to an Ethernet over Copper delivery technology offering 2 Mbps per copper pair over metropolitan area distances from the central office equipment. It is part of the Ethernet in the First Mile project, also known as IEEE 802.3ah. This technology leverages existing copper phone line for native Ethernet WAN services.
