IP Connect Global – MPLS network services
An intelligent, flexible, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) service designed to boost business performance and security.
What is IP Connect Global MPLS?
Intelligent and flexible MPLS IP VPNs designed to boost business performance and security
IP Connect Global is an intelligent MPLS network solution that provides the reach, flexibility, security, and performance you need to successfully run your business. It’s our key building block – and the foundation layer – for Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions at critical or important sites that need predictable performance backed by strong service levels.
It’s based on MPLS network technology over a private and secure VPN. Our MPLS reliability is built on a modern and dynamic network solution that’s tuned for the future - one that thousands of our customers rely on.
Combined with the public internet, IP Connect Global enables a hybrid network solution that gives you the performance, security, and reliability of an MPLS network platform with the agility, flexibility, and reach of the public internet.
Why invest in our MPLS service?
For a network engineered around performance.
We know when it comes to your MPLS solution that you want assured quality. That’s why we’ve engineered our network around performance. When you need guaranteed and prioritised application responses on secure bandwidth, IP Connect Global gives you:
- low latency – assured performance thanks to optimised network design
- better resilience – separation of core network traffic and a multiple PoP strategy in cities for end-to-end resiliency
- strict planning – strict planning rules to ensure link failure won’t affect other traffic
- avoidance of congestion – consistent performance 24/7/265 thanks to strict planning
- common routing – our MPLS optimised and fully-integrated routing not compromised by internal gateways
- global design, management, and maintenance – 24 / 7 / 365 monitoring and a common maintenance contract
- constant network security – constant monitoring for cyberattack prevention and systematic security updates.
Expectations around performance, bandwidth, and security are increasing, and your provider is critical in managing this. Whatever your business needs, we’ll craft a unique MPLS solution that works for you.
