ConNetSult has experience designing and deployment of Metro Area Networks (MAN)
Designed OC-12 and OC-48 MANs
- Identified the best locations to establish diverse building entrances
- Determined fiber paths leading to the building entrances
- Located fiber splice points to minimize trenching and property disruption
- Identified diverse Co-Location facilities to ensure that network would be highly available
- Set up contracts for multiple carrier cross connections at diverse Co-Location facilities
- Managed the conversion of legacy network from old facilities to new MAN
Result: MAN provided:
- Self-healing network within 50 milliseconds
- MAN significantly reduced cost of last mile charges
- Lowered Internet bandwidth costs while increasing capacity – set up bursting capability over two different ISPs (Internet Service Providers)
- Dramatically reduced delivery of additional bandwidth to days instead of weeks and months virtually eliminated capacity issues
- Allowed for easy addition or reduction of nodes on MAN
