Wide Area Networking
With the advent of the high-speed always on Internet connection came the possibility of implementing low-cost networks between branch offices for voice and data. These networks communicate using data encryption and TCP/IP networking to provide inter-office and home-office communications.
Wanstor specialises in designing and deploying Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions using Cisco, Watchguard and Draytek technologies.
VPNs over the public Internet require the careful configuration of Firewalls or VPN concentrators to ensure a secure connection is established. Wanstor's expertise in this area ensures our clients get low cost secure networking solutions which provide reliable service.
Broadband Networks and VPN's
Broadband networking is now a mature technology offering more flexibility for Wide-Area Network (WAN) solutions. It provides high-speed always on networking and is the ideal way to link small branch offices into a single central site. Broadband networking is used by Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) to deliver internet connections but can also be used by businesses to provide WAN services to centralised databases, email, etc.
Of the many great features of broadband based networks, the simplicity of design and maintenance, the flexibility to add additional sites and move office locations with a minimum of disruption are amongst those which capture the imagination of many businesses.
Broadband networking availability is location dependant. Most of the UK now has access to business broadband, but because broadband networks use the same copper wires that are used by a standard telephone line, the technology is distance dependant. Service providers have invested huge sums in upgrading the local exchanges to enable ADSL but a few areas still remain outside of the areas that can be covered. If your area is not covered by terrestrial broadband you may be able to receive other types of broadband service (such as satellite or 3G wireless).
Wanstor partners with Internet Service Providers to offer low cost Internet access at a speed to match your requirements. Our Internet access products include low cost broadband networking solutions, leased lines, and high speed symmetrical broadband.
