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 virtual private network, if the two locations are within a few hundred miles apart. However, point-to-point lines are not normally managed by providers, so with point-to-point circuits, obtaining customer premise equipment, and configuring and maintaining the equipment is the responsibility of the end user. MPLS networks on the other hand are provided with all needed hardware, 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. 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. MPLS networks are far more versatile than point to point circuits, in that with MPLS each location of the network can use fractional t1, full t1, bonded T1, ethernet, fractional DS3, full DS3 or OC3, depending on the specific bandwidth need of that location. Also, some providers are not able to provide MPLS over DSL, for smaller locations. Point to point circuits in contrast, can only utilize full T1, ethernet, full T3 or OC 3. 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 virtual private networks 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)

The advantages and limitations of bonded T1

Written by: Dennis Green - Jul 4, 2009

Bonded T1 is an excellent option for companies which need more bandwidth than a one T1 (1.5 Mbps) circuit can provide, but are not yet ready for the jump to fractional or full T3 45Mbps). Up to eight T1 circuits can be bonded, for up 12 megabits per second (Mbps). A DS3 (also referred to as T3) circuit is the equivalent of 28 T1s. Bonded T1s allow incremental growth (the addition of one T1 at a time, as needed), more efficient budgeting (the jump from a T1 to a T3 increases monthly costs by thousands of dollars), the elimination of months of waiting while a T3 line is installed to your premises, and the thousands of dollars it would cost to install the special wiring that is needed for a T3 circuit if your building is not already “lit” (wired for DS3). Bonded T1 is provided through pairs of twisted copper “telephone” wires. For this reason, bonded T1 is available to virtually any business in the US. Bonded T1 is often installed for free, and can be provided as managed (with router), or unmanaged (without router). Often managed bonded circuits will only cost a few dollars more than unmanaged. If your bandwidth needs exceed 12 Mbps, then fractional T3, burstable T3, or full T3 could be more efficient options, depending on your bandwidth usage patterns.
