Secure Telecom Solutions

A major concern among businesses seeking certain Telecom services is ‘how secure is our network?’ or ‘how secure is our data?’. These are valid concerns and one that we’ll address here is the option for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) over MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). SIP over MPLS provides an alternative to SIP over Internet access or SIP Trunking. While these approaches are more typical, they are not the most secure.

Benefits of SIP over MPLS are improved call quality with low latency, better end-to-end quality of service, and MPLS avoids exposure to the public Internet and control over your lines. This is what makes it superior in security.  On an MPLS network a denial-of-service attack isn’t going to happen, along with a number of other security concerns- wiped away with MPLS.  It basically acts as a virtual private network.

If you have security concerns for your business, avoiding public Internet is key and SIP over MPLS is an excellent solution and MPLS service is a lot better service concerning performance and even savings as well.

Building Redundancy Into Wide Area Network (WAN) with MPLS

Whether your business is large or small, you realize business is still running even in the off hours, 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the internet. The need for continuity and availability is crucial for success. Building a redundant network is one of the smartest strategies you can use to combat unexpected issues, such as inopportune site maintenance or other unforeseen down time and failures within your network.

Many vendors, or carriers, offer a variety of products to implement into your existing network. Even if you have a plan for creating a redundant network, ordering through a vendor can be tedious and time consuming, especially if you don’t know exactly what you want. There really isn’t any wiggle room for mistakes because, as I mentioned above, business is running constantly. The Telecom Brokers at NWMAP will listen to your needs, orders products specific to those needs, and install, as well as maintain this more efficient way of keeping your business competitive.

For many, the choice of redundant networks is a MPLS (Multiprotocol Label System). MPLS can be the best resource for building network redudancy in a wide area network (WAN) for several reasons. First, better security and survivability during those unexpected events we discussed above. MPLS offers hands-down better performance for your buck. It’s smart- yes, it’s true MPLS uses class of service and priority queuing, which means it recognizes your most important traffic and prioritizes it. Other benefits include consolidations and simplifications, which to a business translates into lower overall cost and increased efficiency- all in a day’s work.
