Frame Relay Vs. Point to Point
Frame Relay: A Cost-Effective
Approach
Frame Relay is the economical choice to connect multiple
office locations. Unlike a Point to Point T-1,
frame-relay access is not based on the distance from the
telco to your office. Also, Attitude Online will provide
at no cost, on a loaner basis, the equipment needed to
connect your office to your Frame Relay T1 Service.
Point-to-Point T-1
Reliable and Secure Multi-Office Connectivity
Point-to-point circuits offer reliable connections and
secure Multi-Office Connectivity. They are
the only communications option delivering guaranteed
capacity over a completely uncongested and unshared
line. For example, information traveling over shared
frame-relay lines between office locations move over the
internet, requiring a VPN to secure the data, and may
slow due to traffic load during peak usage periods.
However, info passing over a point-to-point circuit goes
from your primary office location, directly to Attitude
Online's network, and then on to the secondary office(s)
without ever hitting the internet. Secure and fast.
Internet access is reached from Attitude Online's
network when your computers request it. This way, only
the data you want on the internet travels on the
internet.
