Overview
Data networking solutions
8el's data networking services provide customers with strategic, financial and quality benefits. UK businesses use 8el to satisfy the often complex communication challenges presented by their office, home and remote communities. 8el work in collaboration with customers to design reliable and carefully engineered network solutions. Its approach is to carry out a thorough review of existing network infrastructures, in order to identify potential improvements in efficiencies and cost reductions. 8el installs its freeport CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) to connect customers to the 8el network. By extending 8el's core into customer sites, performance levels can be guaranteed for the provision of real-time public and private services.
Public networks
8el can upgrade, replace or complement ISP connectivity. As an independent access provider, 8el can select from a choice of Tier one ISP's to enable connection directly to their Internet backbone. For example, email services can be maintained via 8el in the event of a primary ISP outage. In addition, 8el's network circuits provide higher performance than traditional leased lines by connecting customers directly to the Internet backbone.
Private networking
For multi-site customers requiring private WAN services, 8el provides a high performance, ATM based solution, from 64Kbps to 155Mbps where appropriate. 8el's approach to data network design facilitates the efficient use of bandwidth. This network structure also enables the reliable provision of centralised services and gateway access to the Internet to be commissioned. This provides a disaster avoidance plan to ensure service continuity is maintained regardless of local issues.
International networking
As most of the international trunk routes are terminated into the UK via London Docklands at either Telehouse or Telecity (also the location of the London Internet Exchange), 8el customers have the opportunity to take up direct international connections at reduced prices. By commissioning services via this route, 8el can provide a competitive, fully managed extension to international services that delivers a significant business advantage.
Convergence
In addition to the public, private and international services supplied by 8el, the majority of customers use 8el's converged voice and data platform to reduce their total cost of ownership. Furthermore, customers benefit from a one-stop shop for service and support. Voice services include the delivery of in and outbound calls and private voice networking.
