BT IP Clear

IP Clear links multiple sites together to create an IP-based, secure virtual private network. Those networks can then be used as the platform for company-wide intranets, extranets or inter-site business connectivity.

Can be used as convergence solution for running voice and data over one network, which reduces infrastructure and management costs.

Core network owned, maintained and managed end-to-end by BT with resilience measures designed in, so ensuring security and reliability.

Easy migration from other virtual private networks to IP VPN, so cost-effective way to introducing IP or add new sites.

Wide choice of access speeds to 1Gbps, allowing service to be quickly scaled up or down to meet specific requirements.

Delivers any-to-any connectivity between sites, reducing expense associated with reconfiguring and managing connections between multiple networks.

Sites throughout the UK and beyond can be brought together into a wide area network (WAN) to share information and applications with IP Clear, even if their networks use different protocols.

This secure, reliable Internet protocol (IP) virtual private network lets you configure your network to meet exact corporate requirements.

It runs over BT’s multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network, providing a cost-effective, highly scalable route to direct information exchange between connected locations.

What’s more, if there is a fault on the network, information will always reach your required destination as traffic simply takes a different path.

Cost-effective

IP Clear delivers a VPN solution that offers:

• Unbundled, ‘wires-only’, so you can use existing equipment or equipment from preferred suppliers
• Cost-effective way to build meshed network as there are no usage-based permanent virtual circuit (PVC) charges
• Capability to adjust bandwidth quickly to suit users and applications as needed
  Scalability for adding new sites quickly, merging with other organisations or bandwidth increases
• Business continuity options including synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) delivery and dual-diversely routed access circuits

IP Clear with CoS

IP Clear’s differentiated classes of service (CoS) provide a platform that enables you to converge voice and data traffic on to one network. Converging traffic can then cut infrastructure and management costs

Wide Area Networking Solutions from Abtec

A wide area network (wan) is a group of devices located remotely and connected via electronic links. This network can bridge between towns, cities or continents. The network connects Local Area Networks together which contain the end-user PCs, printers etc. These sites are cabled to a router which then sends information accross the WAN.

A WAN allows a company to share information accross geographically distributed sites in order to maximise data processing and business efficiency.

The aim of a WAN is to help your business improve:

• employee productivity / communications
• reduction/control of costs
• information management
• standardization of hardware/software usage
