WAN Pricing - Wide Area Network Questions and Answers

Wide Area Networking Q and A

What Is a Wide Area Network (WAN)?

A WAN is a data communications network that covers a relatively broad geographic area and that often uses transmission facilities provided by common carriers, such as telephone companies.

How are you able to offer such low prices on WAN Services?

We have contracts with multiple carriers, and have corresponding contractual volume commitments with each carrier. For exceeding these commitments, the carriers offer us the lowest rates on their services. We pass these low rates onto our customers.

What types of transport Protocols are the most prevalent with an International WAN?

Frame Relay and IP-VPN are used often, but other services such as MPSL and Ethernet can be used.

How are WANs Used?

WANs are used to connect local area networks (LANs) together so that users and computers in one location can communicate with users and computers in other locations.
