MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) and MPLS Flex; A New Standard in Business Technology

NWMAP is scoping out the new standard in Telecommunications Networks. MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) has been replacing ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and similar technologies for a while, predominately in businesses with large IP Networks. MPLS gives network operators the flexibility to route traffic around link failures, congestion, and bottlenecks.

In an MPLS network, data packets are assigned labels. Packet-forwarding decisions are made based on the contents of the label, without the need to examine the packet itself. This allows one to create comprehensive circuits across any type of transport medium, using any protocol.

MPLS delivers:

  • Advanced technology
  • Reduction in cost with combination packages for services providing more for less.
  • Easy to integrate with existing systems; IP, Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet.
  • Solutions to networks speed, scalability, quality-of-service, traffic engineering, as well as bandwidth-management and service for future IP-based backbone networks.
  • Redundancy with combination packages for voice, data, Internet and backups.

NWMAP, your Unified Communications provider,  wants to bring you products from our carriers that are called MPLS Flex.  Our clients would get 3 Megabytes or more with all services combined. Over two or more connections per location with their present voice services, data services, and the private network, equals more for less- in addition, redundancy since there is more than one circuit there.  This is the direction NWMAP has been moving toward.

Telecommunications Broker Vs. Buying Direct

After years of working for a well-known Telecommunications vendor, I know firsthand why business consumers should choose a Telecommunications broker for their business phone system needs.

I want to share with you the advantages of using a  Telecommunications broker.

  • A Telecommunications Broker is different than a Sales Rep. If you buy direct, you’ll be dealing with a Sales Rep who may sell you unnecessary technology and not consider your specific phone system needs.
  • Telecom Brokers are always there for you- any questions, any time.
  • They offer you solutions and resolve business phone system issues.
  • They are present every step of the process, from seeking the best deal to implementation, installation and ongoing maintenance.
  • They shop around for you. Sales Reps will only sell you their dealer’s product.
  • Telecom Brokers have extensive knowledge and experience working with several types of businesses and Unified Communication vendors.
  • Customer service first. Sales Reps work directly for the vendors and once they’ve sold you their product, they drop you like a bad habit.
