Data and Voice Network Designing, Traffic Engineering and Survivability

Voice and Data Network Questions

• Have you experienced growth in desktops, applications or locations?
• Do workers need to be more mobile to increase productivity?
• Have you evaluated integrating voice/data over MPLS?
• Are there new business requirements that force changes in voice/data infrastructure?
• Have you recently conducted a network optimization cost analysis?
• Do you have a Disaster Recovery Plan that includes alternate access?

The Solution

Network design impacts an organization's ability to effectively communicate with customers, suppliers and employees thereby affecting efficiency, productivity and competitive advantage. In addition, a properly designed network can reduce overall communications cost by converging voice and data onto common network platforms – thereby consolidating multiple networks onto a single IP network architecture.

Web Technologies team of consultants and network engineers leverage both corporate and carrier experience to help clients design, negotiate and install integrated voice and data networks. Design encompasses structured wiring, routers/switches, carrier networks and wireless technologies – providing the end-to-end solution required for today's networks.
