MPLS Alternatives | Improve Business Connectivity in Difficult Locations

A fast, secure and cost-effective MPLS alternative

Regulation, performance and reliability are concerns global organisations cannot afford to ignore, which is why MPLS has been the only suitable connectivity to date, especially in difficult locations, such as China, India, Vietnam and Dubai.

But MPLS is expensive as well as inflexible. It is hard to increase bandwidth quickly and installation is lengthy. With the shift to cloud, MPLS is failing to meet the needs of organisations. A cheaper, more flexible MPLS alternative is available using a secure SLA-backed Private IP Backbone.

Private IP Backbone & SD-WAN offers higher speed and lower cost business connectivity than MPLS
