MPLS VPNs transport layer 2 packets across the network and encapsulate transport protocols such as ATM, Ethernet, and SONET, allowing MPLS networks to seemlessly upgrade and replace legacy layer 2 networks without requiring network reconfiguration or using protocols higher than layer 2. In comparison, layer 3 VPNs must use the layer 3 Internet Protocol (IP).

Hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a voice and data technology that supports several telecommunications protocols, such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Internet Protocol (IP), that that makes it easy for people to use the Internet to make telephone calls while saving money on premise hardware.

We have experience with enterprise products that include Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192, OC-256, and OC-768 lines delivered over a fiber optic backbone. Call us at (888) 255-5859.

Multi-Site National and Global Network Solutions: As your organization grows, so does the importance of telecommunications integration and coordination. For example, we can design a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network that can connect all of your locations to enable sensitive data to flow back and forth at a high speed without the risk of interception. Call us at (888) 255-5859.

MPLS works across various data protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay. MPLS forwards most packets at layer 2 (switching) instead of at layer 3 (routing) level.

Ethernet is the most widely-used data network protocol today. Standardized as IEEE 802.3, the Ethernet protocol is used for local area networks (LANs) at the Layer 1 (Physical Layer) and Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI networking model.

Dedicated to providing high-quality, up-to-date information in a simple, easy-to-use format so you can quickly find telecommunications information on the World Wide Web, Telecom Links, through its partnership with the Telecom Broker Network, always keeps you just a mouse click away from the best deals and prices available on the services you are interested in from leading telecommunication carriers and providers in the United States and around the world.

Wireless Internet is a new way to access the Internet at high speeds from anywhere in the United States. Wireless Internet is delivered via terrestrial transmitters and receivers or by satellites that orbit the Earth while transmitting and receiving high frequency radio internet data to a small dish located at the customer premise. Two-way satellite radio system is reliable, easy to set up and is mobile. You can move the subscriber terrestrical or satellite dish and re-connect with ease.

If you are looking for clear, concise definitions of telecommunication terms and explanations of telecom services, especially how they are used and how they work, TelecomLInks is a great place to start.

Layer 2 MPLS VPNs (L2VPNs) are similar to Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or point-to-point Wide Area Networks (WANs).
