T1 VPN

“When the top T1 providers must compete for your business, you win!”

T1 VPNs (virtual private networks) can facilitate many applications which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of most businesses. T1 VPNs can serve as both WANs (wide area networks), and LANs (local area networks). Business applications which can be facilitated by T1 VPNs include, routine data transfer, high priority business data traffic, video conferencing, and business location-to-location voice traffic. Now some VPNs can also accommodate telephone traffic to the public, and access to the public internet. (For more about T1 VPNs please click here)

T1 VPN Definition Continued.

Virtually, all residences and businesses currently have two pairs of copper wires running to them. T1 lines are capable of delivering 1.54 Mbps simultaneously in both directions, one direction for each pair of copper lines. Because T1 dedicated service is repeater driven (signal is digitally reestablished about every 6000 feet), it is available to virtually every business in the United States. T1 lines are dedicated, in that they are always connected. They are also extremely stable. Most reputable providers include service level agreements which guarantee the reliability of the T1 circuits they offer. There are several types of T1 line. These include: full (1.54 Mbps), fractional (commonly 128 Kbps to 756 Kbps), burstable (less expensive for companies which normally do not need a full T1, but at times due to peak work loads, need a burst to full T1 bandwidth), integrated (one T1 line comprised of any combination the types of T1 listed here), channelized DS1 (a specific type of integrated T1), point-to-point (direct private T1 connection between to locations), data (internet), voice (telephone), PRI (voice service which includes many added features), and frame relay. Each of these types of T1 has advantages over the others, depending on the specific needs of your company. Also, the availability of each is based on the offerings of each T1 provider and the geographic location. VPN service utilizes major advancements in technology to establish secure private communication channels, for the transfer of data, over shared networks such as private intranets or the internet. VPN is an acronym for virtual private network. Currently, the most popular and state-of–the-art VPNs are based on MPLS (multiprotocol label switching) technology. MPLS provides any-to-any connectivity over T1 or higher bandwidth. The best MPLS networks are facilitated within the closed systems of specific tier 1 providers. With this scenario, MPLS networks are as secure as point-to-point private lines. With quality of service (QoS), MPLS networks are extremely well suited for transmitting voice, priority files, multiple location audio or video conferencing, or high quality video transmission. For two location networks, a point-to-point private line continues a bit less expensive than a MPLS VPN. However, point-to-point lines are not normally managed by providers, so with point-to-point lines, obtaining customer premise equipment, and configuring and maintaining the equipment is the responsibility of the end user. For multiple location networks, or two location networks which you know will increase in number of locations, MPLS can be far more functional, and far less expensive than a network comprised of point-to-point lines. In most cases, full T1 or DS3 MPLS VPNs are provided with all needed hardware and installation, configuration and management of the network by the provider for about the same cost, or just slightly more, per location, than managed internet service. Managed MPLS networks are pretty much turn key for the end user. There are also a variety of options for networking DSL or Cable service as well. As the authorized sales agents for the top 20 telecom providers in the country, we can provide free comparative quotes for completely managed VPNs for any locations in the US, regardless of the bandwidth needed at each location. We can also provide quotes for international VPNs (including MPLS options as well). (Click here to return to top of page)

Is MPLS Causing Frame Relay to be Obsolete?

Written by: Dennis Green - Oct 11, 2008

MPLS (multiprotocol label switching), is only one of many factors that are resulting in a diminishment of demand for frame relay. Other factors include the lower cost of clear channel T1, increased demand for; VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), video conferencing, class of service (CoS), and a tendency toward converged services on one large pipe. At one time, and for many years, frame relay was considered the state-of-the-art broadband technology. This time has now passed. Many substantial businesses continue to rely on frame for their bandwidth and networking needs, but in most cases, this has more to do with procrastination and a lack of understanding about just how easy, and cost effective it would be to switch to a fully managed, any-to-any location network based on MPLS technology. In the not to distant future, virtually all companies will switch from frame, to MPLS based networks. To make this change now is virtually free. Installation is commonly free, the routers, and configuration of routers is often free, the cost of MPLS bandwidth is usually far lower than bandwidth provided with frame relay, and the speed of bandwidth provided with MPLS is often far higher than the much smaller circuits utilized with frame for the same cost. MPLS networks are often completely managed by telecom providers, thus lowering customer costs for networking staff and reducing the workload of often overworked IT personnel. MPLS has far more abilities than frame. For example, with MPLS, many applications can be provided over one circuit simultaneously. This eliminates the need for individual circuits for each application. With MPLS, the need for a multitude of permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) needed to connect various network locations is eliminated. MPLS based networks provide any-to-any network location connectivity without the need for a myriad of PVCs required with frame. MPLS easily facilitates routine data transfer, VOIP, and video conferencing simultaneously with application prioritization. This prioritization, accomplished with CoS, prevents routine data transfer from interfering with higher priority applications such as VoIP and video conferencing utilizing the same circuit.
