For organisations that want to network their offices or link a number of dispersed sites together using IP technologies, IP Converge provides the fast, simple and complete outsourced solution so equipping them to concentrate on their core business. There are three managed networking options:
Site to Site – an IP-based Wide Area Network (WAN)
Supplied as a fully configured IP VPN (Virtual Private Network), this provides an effective, resilient platform for intranets, extranets, inter-site business connectivity and voice/data/video convergence. With its own router, it’s easily interconnected with an IP Converge LAN – described below – or any legacy LAN.
Desk to Desk – an IP-based Local Area Network (LAN)
This is designed to accommodate up to 96 workstations within the same premises and is fully tested for seamless interconnection with an IP Converge WAN.
Person to Person – an IP Telephony (IPT) system
This capitalises on IP technology to create a voice network that offers significant cost savings over the use of traditional PSTN services. It can be simply integrated with existing systems and using existing CPE so avoiding the need for additional expenditure.
All the IP Converge options offer:
• Choice of access bandwidths: 2Mbit/s, 10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s
• Choice of ADSL access options: 256Kbit/s, 512Kbit/s, 1Mbit/s and 2Mbit/s in both contended (5:1) and uncontended variants
• Secure dial in access options – PSTN, ISDN or GSM – for teleworkers, mobile workforces and smaller sites
• Any-to-any connectivity – specially designed to support IP applications and providing automatic application prioritisation to suit operational needs
• Fully managed service – everything provided, installed, configured end-to-end and monitored and maintained 24/7
• Simple pricing – single price for the WAN, LAN or IPT with no usage charges or distance-related charges
• Extensive UK-wide availability
• International reach by means of a dedicated dial in number for employees travelling abroad.
