Data Networking Services
MPLS
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a reliable, secure and scalable infrastructure service that manages company networks and connectivity issues. Information is transmitted through a private MPLS network to all sites, and is designed to safeguard business data and keep your information secure.
Software Defined Networking
SD WAN (SDN/SDI) software automatically manages all devices, offering a centralized view of the entire network. They prioritize traffic across an underlying internet network, and offer guaranteed uptime with redundant internet at each site. For single site applications, SDI (Software Defined Internet) aggregates multiple internet connections for higher upload and download speeds.
Ethernet
EVPL (Ethernet Virtual Private Line), VPLS (Virtual Private LAN Service), Switched Ethernet. These services connect multiple locations privately and securely using point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topology.
Wavelength Transport
- WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) allows for the simultaneous transmission of multiple wavelengths of light over a single fibre at speeds up to 100 Gbps
- CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) typically span distances up to 160 kilometers/miles
- DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is designed for long-haul transmission over thousands of kilometres/miles. Ideal for mission-critical applications requiring incredibly high bandwidth and low latency.
Dark Fibre Transport
For businesses with high bandwidth requirements, dark fibre data connectivity solutions could be the right option. However, there are certain advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered before making that decision, as dark fibre is not for everyone. At FlashForward, we are here to help you navigate your way and find the best solution for your business.
Some of the pros of using dark fibre are controlled scalability and network management, as well as the ability to manage technology evolution and latency. The cons include the need to purchase long haul fibre leases, maintenance, repair, reliability and diversity. Dark Fibre is also not widely available compared to other data connectivity solutions.
