Banking Field
The banking industry is ideally suited for MPLS enhanced T1s or Ethernet. Typically, most banks have multiple branches throughout a metro area or region. The branch offices have secure high-speed data connections to the home bank or a data center. These connections are the lifeblood of the bank.
In the past, these high speed data lines have been point-to-point connections. There would be a separate T1 from each branch to the home bank. However, with the advent of MPLS, these data lines can become much more efficient while maintaining a very high degree of security. And the T1s can be put to better use by carrying more kinds of data traffic. In addition, the bank will most likely experience cost savings in the process.
MPLS providers create very secure VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) on top of IP Tunnels on a network tailor made for each MPLS customer. The result is the level of security that the banking industry requires.
With MPLS equipped networks, rather than an expensive leased point-to-point circuit from the data center to each branch, there is a circuit from each branch to the provider's POP (Point Of Presence) and only one circuit from the provider's POP to the data center. These circuits can be T1s, bonded T1s, DS3s or Ethernet.
Not only can these circuits carry data and transport data files, but they can also be used for digital telephone service and video conferencing. Built in QOS (Quality Of Service) prioritizes data related to telephone and video services to provide high quality, smooth video motion and voice. The end result can be substantial cost savings.
An MPLS powered network need not be confined to a single metro area. Vast networks can be created for the largest customers across several states or regions almost as easily as if all locations were within a metro area.
For more information, use the easy to use online form here. Because of the complexity of MPLS networks, instant quotes are not available. A friendly, knowledgeable MPLS expert will contact you within 1 business day to discuss your new MPLS enabled network. This consultation is free of charge and has no obligation. Don't forget to ask your new consultant how Ethernet services can save you money.
Given the volume of our mpls network sales, we can offer you the best possible rates from any of our providers--better pricing than you would get by going to the same providers directly yourself. And, we do all of the work for you. Give us a try today. Take a moment to fill out our easy to use online form.
Medical Field
Another field ideally suited for MPLS enhanced Ethernet or T1 lines is the Medical Field. Increasingly, it is necessary to share very large files with specialists that are likely to be located in another facility in the same metro area or in another city. These files can be patient records or imagery files.
Hospital networks can easily setup telecom networks using MPLS enhanced T1 or Ethernet lines within a metro area or in multiple states. The use of MPLS adds a very high degree of security that protects the patients right to privacy; yet allow vital data to be shared among key specialists increasing the quality of care.
Not only can data files be easily exchanged, but the same Ethernet or T1 lines can also be utilized for digital telephone communications or video conferencing. All of these services can be carried on the lines simultaneously with no compromise of quality.
Is it difficult to set these networks up? Not at all. Our experts can help with any requirement your organization may have. Just click here to use our easy-to-use online form to get started.
Oil and Gas Pipeline
Large oil and gas pipeline companies are in an excellent position to take advantage of MPLS enhanced T1 lines. It is very typical, in this industry, to have a vast telecommunications network handling telemetry, dispatch and control functions for the day-to-day operations of the pipeline network. Where business offices are co-located with pipeline operations equipment, the business data as well as the pipeline operations data are combined on one T1 to save bandwidth costs.
This is all well and good, but it is a Federal requirement that business and telemetry functions of common carrier pipelines be carried on separate networks. This is where MPLS really shines. The carrier providing MPLS enhanced lines sets up very secure VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) as part of the MPLS enhancement. The pipeline telemetry and control data flows on one VPN while business data flows on a second VPN. Both VPNs are on one MPLS enhanced T1 serving the particular location. Dozens of similar locations can be connected to a central office location that provides management and other functions for the entire pipeline. All can be members of an MPLS enhanced network that serves to provide data, voice and video to each location.
While individual T1s or bonded T1s connect each pipeline facility to the service provider, a larger Ethernet line can connect the management office to the service provider.
Your Industry
The above examples show how several unrelated fields or industries can utilize MPLS equipped lines. How about your industry? How about your business? Use our easy to use online form to find out if MPLS can be used on a network for your business.
