Talking Networks

WAN / Multi Dispersed Network

Talking Networks has gained many years of expertise in the network arena and provide a wide range of solutions from IPVPNs, Leased Lines, Ethernet and more Ethernet Solutions -High speed connectivity at competitive costs

Ethernet offers superior performance, is cost effective and is easy to deploy and manage compared to other wide area network technologies:

• With Ethernet you get a lot more bandwidth for your money
• The simplicity of an Ethernet LAN can be extended between multiple sites
• Metropolitan, regional or national connectivity
• Point-to-point or any-to-any designs
• Flexible choice of capacity on a single circuit: 1Mbps to 1000Mbps
• Fast, powerful converged network that supports voice, data and video applications Ideal for data storage or disaster recovery applications

Leased Lines -Bringing your offices and sites together

Also called Private Circuits, Leased Lines are ideally suited to organisations requiring dedicated, always-on, fixed bandwidth connectivity between two points, to transport data, internet or voice traffic. Thanks to our massive network infrastructure, we give you faster, high quality leased line connections (from 2Mb to 155Mb* and upwards) at really low cost.

Here are some reasons why you'll be glad you did. See also Features & Benefits. Here's some for starters:

• Huge access network across the UK.
• Rapid installation of business critical communication links.
• Guaranteed fix times combined with high availability guarantees.
• No hidden costs - the fixed monthly rental is calculated according to the distance between sites.
• Flexibility - we can provide a Private Circuit anywhere in the UK. Where sites are outside our network area we utilise a third party operator with whom we have formal Service Level Agreements (SLA) in place for a high quality end to end service.
• Service Level Agreements (SLA) in place for a high quality end to end service.
• Scalability - a range of flexible bandwidths are available to suit your needs and scaled to meet your growth requirements. A 2Mb connection remains the most popular circuit bandwidth within the UK, but you could choose bandwidths of up to 155Mb.
• Security - sole use of the Private Circuit bandwidth means that no other organisation can access your vital data.

IPVPN with MPLS -Connecting your sites, cutting your costs

A cost effective, secure, flexible, scalable and fully managed service capable of carrying voice, video and data traffic, IPVPN provides the security of a VPN with superior performance for business-critical applications, plus the cost benefits of converging voice, data and video traffic on the same network.

Business using our IPVPN service benefit from important features such as:

• Scalable network solution - it is very simple to add new sites and change access bandwidths because the 'hub' site does not have to be re-engineered. This is particularly relevant when moving offices, adding new offices or integrating offices of acquired or merged companies.
• Fully managed IPVPN - as there is no need to purchase private network WAN equipment, the need for staff training and operational overhead costs is minimised, so staff can focus on their core activities, not on network management. The managed IPVPN service is an outsourced solution that is proactively managed up to your LAN , ensuring maximum up-time and optimal end-to-end networking performance, including a managed router at your premises.
• Robust service level agreements - our IPVPN service comes complete with robust service level agreements (SLAs), designated service managers and 24x7 technical support. Our proactive response to service failures ensures fastest fixes. We'll also provide full project management to ensure your solution is delivered professionally, on time and to budget.
• Tailored solution - your networks will be tailored to your specific requirements to ensure efficiency is maximised. We'll also offer advice on how the network should change to meet your future needs.
• Future-proof solution - the service provides a robust and scalable platform for IP Convergence, enabling businesses to take advantage of lower total cost of communications, improved operational effectiveness and improved business performance.
• Operating efficiencies - any to any routing between sites means traffic does not have to 'trombone' in and out of a customer hub site, thus reducing bandwidth and cost.
