Broadband Internet and end to end Data service Mode of Connection to the Broadband Network: In order to deliver both data and internet services to customer, the customer must first be connected to the ALAPCOM/AccessTEL Broadband Access Network. The physical connectivity of the customer to the ALAPCOM/AccessTEL Access Network is achieved via multiple Broadband technologies available to the group as follows: • Fiber Optics Technology • Pre-WiMax Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) Wireless Access Technology on Exclusive 3.5 GHz Band • Point to Point Line-of-Sight (LOS), Near Line-of-Site Wireless Technology on 2.4 GHz & 5.8 GHz Non Exclusive Band The above-mentioned mode of connectivity is determined based on the client service requirement and geographic location to ensure the most cost effective and efficient Broadband Access. Once the customer is connected to the AccessTEL Broadband Network, the following Broadband services can be accessed: • Dedicated Internet Bandwidth (as required by the customer) for the Corporate office network • Dedicated Intranet (Data) Bandwidth for establishing a private Wide Area Network for data transmission requirement between the customers multiple office locations. Multiple modes are used to establish the private network as follows: VPN: Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) transmit digital information over shared infrastructures with the same secure and reliable connectivity as private networks but at a lower cost. Moving information over VPN is also simpler and more cost-effective than using traditional dedicated-line networks. Types of VPN: - IP VPN (CPE Based Layer 3 Customer Network) - MPLS VPN (Carrier Based Layer 2 & 3 Network) IP VPN: Most CPE-based VPNs operate over the public Internet, using broadband or dedicated access lines and tunneling protocols to secure the data. The underlying IP network simply provides transport for VPN traffic. IP VPNs are privatized networks implemented over either the public Internet backbone or a service provider’s private IP backbone, making use of shared IP facilities to build an enterprise’s private WAN. IP offers any-to-any connectivity. In addition, private IP VPNs offer the security and predictable performance of private networks while adhering to the protocol standards of the Internet. MPLS VPN: In carrier network-hosted VPN services, the network is directly involved in the functioning of the VPN. MPLS VPN is an effective technology capable of providing secure Layer 3 or Layer 2 VPNs over the carrier operated network. It is a replacement for expensive dedicated circuits. Layer 3 MPLS VPN WAN service allows subscribers to migrate away from the traditional “hub-and-spoke” design, enhancing scalability. MPLS VPNs enable the service provider to keep customers' private business traffic logically separated through the use of virtual circuit-like connections known as label switched paths (LSPs). MPLS VPNs provide the same level of security as Layer 2 VPNs, equivalent to that of private circuits. MPLS VPNs offer address space and routing separation, and they are resistant to attacks and label spoofing. In an MPLS environment, a VPN customer may perform IP-source address spoofing, but because there is a strict separation between VPNs and between the VPN and the core, this type of spoofing remains within the VPN where it originated. Cloud based e-mail Service To adopt with the updated technology and to offer ultimate e-mail solution to the industry, AccessTEL launched Cloud based e-mail service with Google.
