Working closely with industry leader Cisco, our IP VPN service is based on MPLS networks. Simply put, IP VPN with MPLS enables you to priorities bandwidth for different types of traffic so that low priority traffic won’t get in the way of the important stuff. It also develops and expands to keep pace with your organisation’s demands in a way that no other technology allows - without requiring any additional equipment.

IP VPN extends your MPLS Network to distant offices and remote users so they can still be part of the corporate network and enables flexible and remote working to become a reality.
Flexible access bandwidths
Easily tailored to your specific business needs with a range of bandwidths, access options and features.
