WAN network
8el has extensive experience in building robust, quality, private networks that support many leading UK businesses. Each of 8el's WAN network solutions is designed to be resilient, secure and closely tailored to cater for immediate and future customer requirements.
Access technologies
Customer's sites can be connected into an 8el Wide Area Network via a blend of different access technologies as required.
| Access Circuit | Access Technology | Capacity Options |
| LAN Extension Services (LES) | Ethernet | 10Mbps scalable to 1000Mbps |
| Leased Line | PDH/SDH | ATN 2-8Mbps (using IMA) 34, 45, 155Mbps |
| DSL | ATM | 256, 512Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps and 8Mbps |
Technologies include ATM, DSL, Ethernet, Frame Relay and MPLS to connect remote single users through to core network sites.
LAN Extension Services
LAN Extension Service (LES) are a key part of 8el's WAN network solution. LES connectivity offers superior performance, and is cost effective and easier to deploy and manage compared to other WAN technologies. 8el offers a flexible choice of capacity on a single circuit from 10Mbps to 1000Mbps. LES enables 8el to implement fast, powerful converged networks that support voice, data and video applications. LAN is the ideal access method for VoIP as the IP stays as IP (with no conversion) throughout the network.
ADSL connectivity
8el's fully managed, private DSL service offers cost effective and secure connectivity between small offices, home office (SOHO) and an organisation's head office. By utilising SDSL and ADSL technology, a dedicated private circuit is established to deliver fast and secure, quality data transit for a fraction of the cost of running traditional Frame-Relay or Kilostream connections.
Additionally, as the services are delivered over a private infrastructure this will reduce the cost and management overhead of configuring a public VPN solution with multiple firewalls.
8el's private DSL services include:
- ADSL (Standard and Plus)
- ADSL MAX
- SDSL
Colocation services
8el is able to provide secure, fully managed colocation environments for organisations who wish to outsource all or part of the management of their technical infrastructure or provide a logical environment for centralised services.
8el's highly resilient core network include two separate key colocation facilities. This approach can be adopted to negate any single points of failure.
