MPLS, IP Transit & SDWan
MPLS Solutions
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a versatile networking technology that enhances the efficiency and performance of data transmission within a network. It works by assigning labels to data packets, which are used to determine the packet’s forwarding path through the network. MPLS enables faster packet switching, optimized traffic routing, and support for advanced features such as quality of service (QoS), virtual private networks (VPNs), and traffic engineering. It provides businesses with reliable, secure, and scalable connectivity solutions, making it a popular choice for modern network infrastructures.
Implementing MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) in a business environment offers several key benefits:
Improved Performance
MPLS optimizes packet forwarding, resulting in faster and more efficient data transmission. This leads to reduced latency and improved response times for critical applications, enhancing overall productivity and user experience.
Enhanced Quality of Service (QoS)
MPLS allows for traffic prioritization based on application requirements. This ensures that important applications, such as voice and video conferencing, receive sufficient bandwidth and priority, maintaining consistent performance and reliability.
Traffic Engineering
MPLS enables businesses to control and optimize traffic flows within their network. By dynamically routing traffic based on factors like available bandwidth and network congestion, MPLS helps improve network efficiency and ensures optimal resource utilization.
Scalability
MPLS networks are highly scalable and can accommodate growing traffic volumes and expanding network infrastructures. This scalability is crucial for businesses experiencing growth or requiring flexible networking solutions to meet changing demands.
Security
MPLS can be used to create secure virtual private networks (VPNs) within the business network. By segregating traffic and encrypting data, MPLS helps ensure the privacy and integrity of sensitive information, protecting against unauthorized access and cyber threats.
Simplified Management
MPLS simplifies network management by consolidating multiple services onto a single unified platform. This streamlines network operations, reduces administrative overhead, and makes it easier to monitor and troubleshoot network performance, ultimately saving time and resources.
Cost Efficiency
While MPLS may require an initial investment in infrastructure and service subscriptions, it can offer long-term cost savings. By optimizing network performance, reducing downtime, and minimizing the need for expensive dedicated circuits or leased lines, MPLS helps businesses achieve a better return on investment (ROI) for their networking expenditures.
Overall, MPLS provides businesses with a reliable, scalable, and efficient networking solution that improves performance, enhances security, and offers greater control over network traffic, ultimately contributing to increased productivity and competitiveness.

Dedicated support
Our team of experts are on hand to help your business with any MPLS-related questions or problems you may face.
Connect your sites with SD-WAN
SD-WAN is a software-defined approach to connecting sites together to form a Wide Area Network (WAN). It can support two or more internet connections from different internet providers.
Monitor the performance of the various internet connections to make intelligent choices as to which circuit is used for what type of data in real-time, automatically. Packet loss sensitive data such as VoIP traffic can be prioritised over other traffic to make sure you get the best quality possible for your most important data.

Benefits of SD-WAN
Resiliency & quality of service
SD-WAN networking devices can support one, two or more internet uplinks and automatically failover internet & WAN connectivity in the event of outages. It can also be configured with rules that prioritise certain applications and traffic over others. Such as VoIP over e-mail and web traffic over backup and Salesforce over YouTube..
Deployment & monitoring
SD-WAN networking devices can support one, two or more internet uplinks and automatically failover internet & WAN connectivity in the event of outages. It can also be configured with rules that prioritise certain applications and traffic over others. Such as VoIP over e-mail and web traffic over backup and Salesforce over YouTube.
Security
Our SD-WAN solution features dynamic VPN tunnels, strong encryption, a firewall and other complex security configurations. All of which are usually automatically managed. Supports key Network functions such as VPN, Firewall, and WAN optimisation.
COST-EFFECTIVE WAN SOLUTION
Centralise network management
SD-WAN offers higher capacity bandwidth, better network visibility, multi-connection types and centralised management.
With SD-WAN your network can be closely monitored and managed, making it easier to control, deploy and secure. This brings company-wide benefits, including time and cost savings which can often be a burden on any business.
LEADING BUSINESS INTERNET
Improve network security
SD-WAN enables your business to partition and protect mission-critical traffic and assets against vulnerabilities in other parts of the enterprise. This use case is particularly important in verticals such as retail, healthcare, and financial services.
Not only that, SD-WAN can include firewall capabilities that help your business perform quick deployments at locations, without compromising security.
Improve network security
Is SD-WAN right for your business?
SD-WAN offers organisations that span the nation a more cost-effective way of linking sites together. It offers you choice and flexibility, and doesn’t lock you into an ISP.
But businesses also have a choice of MPLS or even hybrid SD-WAN/MPLS solutions. MPLS is ideal for UK-based multi-site organisations requiring the best, fully-managed connectivity, managed QoS with higher SLAs than SD-WAN. Giganet’s MPLS offering is also very cost-effective. You will be pleasantly surprised!
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Our connectivity experts will be able to help. Get in touch and we can help you identify which one is right for your organisation, now and for the future.
What is IP Transit?
IP Transit, or Internet Transit, is a networking service offered by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that allows networks to connect to the rest of the internet. It enables the passage of network traffic from one network to another through the ISP’s network, reaching every part of the global internet.
IP Transit can be succinctly defined as:
A service that enables network traffic to transit through an ISP’s network to connect to the broader internet, ensuring access to global online resources and services.
