MPLS Service for SMB’s

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is today’s fastest growing SMB network solution. MPLS technology allows you to provide your customers, partners, and employees with secure access to your business’s networks and data from virtually anywhere.

Multi-Protocol means that the network will accept Data, Voice, or Video IP, T-Carrier, SONET, or other traffic types. MPLS differs from packet switched and circuit switched networks in that it allows you to transport IP traffic without using IP routing.

Label Switching is the method that assigns labels that define the source, destination, and Quality of Service (QoS) to data packets. Those packets are then forwarded, based exclusively on the label contents (the labels are removed as the packets exit the network in the same exact state as they arrived). Because the router does not have to assess the details of the entire packet, MPLS packet labeling significantly speeds up network traffic routing.

MPLS is quickly becoming the core transport technology of choice for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks. Enabling both data and voice to be transported collectively on Wide Area Networks with Class and Quality of Service (CoS/QoS), MPLS has proven to deliver managed network solutions and secure broadband access that allows SMBs to link office locations to one another, to teleworkers and mobile users, business partners, as well as to the Internet – all while supporting bandwidth intensive applications.

MPLS networks are highly secure, versatile, cost-efficient, and designed to provide committed bandwidth levels. MPLS networks are highly secure due to the fact they are privately run networks dedicated solely to their customers, and because of their unique technology. Moreover, QoS is built-in, making it an ideal fit for enterprise-class Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other latency-sensitive applications.

As SMB networking demands continue to increase across the globe, MPLS assists in resolving service management issues caused by fast-ramping demands of video and additional bandwidth-intensive, jitter/latency-sensitive applications.

MPLS provides the flexibility of a cloud capable of accommodating increased bandwidth or additional site connections easily, with the QoS you expect with dedicated line services.
