PWAN - Private Wide Area Network

When You Need A Simple Solution To Connect Multiple Locations Together ...

"Discover How To Securely And Cost Effectively Connect All Your Remote Offices Resources Together Using A Private Wide Area Network (PWAN) Saving You Both Time And Money "

What is a PWAN And What Can It Do For You?...

This is an application of technology which allows all your multi-site offices or remote workers to share information and resources, without passing through the public internet, but still uses low cost broadband connections to carry the data traffic.

The PWAN will allow your Company to create simple multi layered network, which gives the same functionality as a local network (LAN), but spread over multiple geographic locations.

See What Our Customers Say...

With over 40 retail stores we needed a solution that would securely link all locations together without the burden of high equipment and support costs. Link Connect provided a solution that no one else could offer and we saw point of sale credit card transaction processing times reduce from around 30 seconds to just 4 seconds. This has reduced queuing time for our customers and means we can achieve more sales per day. I highly recommend Link Connect.

How does it work?

When a company connects to an especially set-up internet connection account, be it Broadband (ADSL & SDSL) Leased Line or ISDN, instead of creating a connection to the public internet, the connection is securely tunneled through to a private network, provided by Link-Connect, which is dedicated to your company.

Additional connections may be established from your other company sites, which are also terminated in the same network address range, which is again reserved solely for your company.

If required, you can still connect to and browse the internet from the PWAN through a centralized firewall set up to meet the company needs or via a Terminal Server connection managed at the main administrative site.

Your Immediate Benefits

  • Reduces Your Support & Maintenance Costs No Firewalls or VPN clients required within the PWAN which reduces the support and maintenance costs at both the routers and the remote workstations.
  • Increases the Speed of The Data Between Your Sites It provides you with faster and more reliable communications as there are fewer barriers to get in the way.
  • Gives Quick Access To Data Stored At Your Different Locations Accessing a word document from another site can be as easy as getting it off the local server.
  • Allows You To Reduce Your Storage Space And Improve Consistency of Documents Today you probably have multiple copies in each location and probably distributed them via your email system. This will unnecessarily clog up your email system, waste storage space and you also loose control over the document. With a PWAN you can centralize information and only store one copy in one location but still allow access to everyone.
  • Eradicates Support Time It's simpler for you to manage and upgrade leaving you more time to spend on supporting other infrastructure requirements. There are no complex configurations for your remote users to worry about and no extra software needs to be loaded onto the PC.
  • Provides You With A Completely Private, Safe And Secure Environment The network is completely PRIVATE & SECURE from external influence and keeps you and your data safe from the threat of external hackers.
  • Allows You to Use Cost Effective Connections Between Your Sites It can reduce the cost of connectivity between each point, especially if point to point leased lines are currently in use.

What Types Of Connections Do You Need With PWAN's?

ADSL, SDSL, ISDN and PSTN connections can all be used to form a PWAN. Leased Lines and other high bandwidth connections can be added to a Private Network (There are a few minor technical limitations, the upper limit set on the MTU is lower than the standard 1500 limit used by most types of connection).

And Do You Need Any Special Hardware? ...

The simple answer is 'No'. Link-Connect will provide you with a fully managed hosting service which includes all the maintenance and set up of the hardware as required.

The Link-Connect Smart Router is an ideal vehicle for managing connections in difficult geographic locations or to provide greater upstream bandwidth with two or more ADSL connections. See more details and diagram below.

Can I host a Server within the PWAN?

Yes, rack mounted servers can be co-located within the Private Network at our state of the art facility positioned at the hub of the Internet in London.
