Frame Relay

MetTel’s Frame Relay Service is a cost-efficient, high-performance packet data network providing connectivity among geographically dispersed corporate local area networks (LANs).  It is a more cost-effective alternative to private line services due to its deployment over a closed network.  By transmitting variable size frames at generally lower speeds, frame relay only uses the network transmission links as needed.

Features:

• Replaces expensive private lines in your wide area network (WAN) with more efficient and flexible Frame Relay links at speeds ranging from 56Kbps to 1.544Mbps
• Integrates LAN-based applications such as Email and document sharing on a cost-effective network, using just one link among various locations
• Bandwidth on demand for handling sudden bursts of data traffic
• As your network grows, frame relay allows you to allocate higher permanent bandwidth on specific circuits without hardware upgrades
• High throughput/low delay for mission-critical data, real-time applications
• Flexibility and scalability to manage continuously changing applications, locations and sites
• Provides a back-up network for critical private line links

Benefits:

• Secures your business communications by utilizing automatic alternate routing and redundant network components
• Reduces operating expense through flat monthly fees rather than ongoing usage-based costs
• 24/7 network management and oversight ensures increased availability
