IDENTIFYING THE CHALLENGES

Operators who want to offer a fully converged service to their enterprise customers and employees need to extend their services via data links to remote offices or customer sites. BT offers a range of connectivity options designed to support a wide variety of customer and employee profiles.

EXPLORING THE SOLUTIONS

BT’s IP solutions offer greater connectivity, over more locations, across one network. In addition, our range of Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions meets multiple needs – from our world-class Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network for multi-media collaboration through to our IP Clear managed VPN service, which can link multiple dispersed sites.

BT MPLS enables customers to manage their global IP traffic using multiple distinct Classes-of-Service (CoS). It allows operators to prioritise traffic based on application, ensuring that mission-critical data applications are served irrespective of the growth of competing, lower priority traffic.

IP Converge is our new UK MPLS networking product. It offers all the flexibility and security of equIP but with the addition of optional integrated LAN, IPT and other value-add options. This makes IP Converge the complete solution.
