Our VPLS-enabled Next Generation Network (NGN) enables the provision of Ethernet based multipoint-to-multipoint communication over IP/MPLS networks. It makes it possible for geographically dispersed sites to share an Ethernet broadcast domain by connecting multiple sites through pseudo wires to a central bridge. Combining the cost-effectiveness of Ethernet with the service delivery, traffic engineering, scalability and reliability of MPLS, VPLS has proven to be an effective and inexpensive way to provide multipoint Layer 2 Ethernet business services.

Our cutting edge VPLS network design has a meshed, Layer 2, MPLS switched Ethernet core and sets a new standard for connectivity. This advanced network allows the customer the flexibility to create multiple VLANs over their WAN, this gives them the security and separation they would usually expect to see on the LAN. It also allows multiple physical connections to be consolidated on to a single connection while maintaining the separation of the circuits by means of VLANs, a feature unavailable from other MPLS providers. In essence things that were previously only possible within a company's office can now be carried out over a geographically dispersed area.

As such, VPLS opens the gateway to creative cost-saving business solutions such as centralised DMZ distribution to multiple sites. In addition, for the first time, it enables the provision of multiple services such as video, VoIP, storage and hosting over one pipe, commonly known as convergence. This allows our customers to consolidate their telecommunications requirements and benefit from resulting cost savings.
