How Do APX Net WAN Services Work?

APX Net WAN is simply a group of computers, switching and devices that are connected across cities, states and even countries. Within your organization, our WAN links the Local Area Networks (LANs) at all of your office locations, as well as your data center and cloud infrastructure or applications. Most importantly, a WAN is a private network that does not traverse the Internet, making it more reliable and secure.

Choose the WAN Connection that’s Right for You

We offer three types of private WAN services, all delivered over fiber-optic connections. Selecting the WAN architecture that’s right for your business requires an analysis of your locations, infrastructure and applications – an exercise that our expert engineers are qualified to take on. Generally speaking, however, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

MPLS WAN Connection

A Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) WAN is built on top of a provider’s MPLS network to provide Layer 2 or Layer 3 data networking services.

Ethernet Any to Any WAN Connection

Ethernet Any-to-Any

A Carrier Ethernet service defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum, Ethernet LAN (E-LAN) provides Layer 2 multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity.

Ethernet Point to Point WAN

Ethernet Point-to-Multipoint
