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.
