Wide Area Networks
In contrast to the expensive Diginet Solutions used to deploy a secure Wide Area Network, iTel now offers an MPLS WAN with static IP’s over ADSL. The Reliability, management and security together with a 1:1 contention ratio rivals that of the conventional Diginet but at a fraction of the cost.
Main Features
- ADSL speeds up to 4mbps. (512Kbps upload)
- iTel secure Realm. (does not require VPN, IPSec overhead.)
- 1:1 Contention Ratio (normal ADSL is 50:1 contention ratio)
- Static Private IP
- Local Only bandwidth. (R25 per GB)
- No special hardware required. (Use normal ADSL Routers)
- Ideal for VoIP, Server access, IP Camera remote surveillance, file sharing

Cost
- Setup: Nil
- Access to WAN & ADSL Data: R299 /Branch/month (5 gig per branch)
- Additional Bandwidth R25/GB
This product allows for a MPLS layer on the SAIX ADSL network to construct a WAN in the same fashion as if branches were linked together by a Diginet (Leased Line). The network initially has no connection to the "outside" world and functions as a secure and private network with all the branches having its very own static private IP address. The savings achieved are numerous and can be summarized as follow:
