Technical and Commercial Benefits of Multilink IP

• Multilink IP: A Compelling Business Proposition for Service Providers

Service Providers face major obstacles in their efforts to deliver high bandwidth to customers, who have access to an increasingly competitive marketplace. They must address bandwidth requirements, management overheads and provisioning complexities. ML-IP provides a compelling business proposition, enabling service providers to deliver highly differentiated broadband services to business customers for a fraction of the cost and complexity of any alternative solution

• How Service Providers Can Provide Customers with Increased DSL Bandwidth and Reliability

Service providers are anxious to differentiate their services by offering more reliable and higher speed broadband access services, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. ePipe's ML-IP solutions enable simple, low-cost provisioning of bonded broadband services with minimal infrastructure costs, when compared with IMUX, ML-PPP, ML-FR or load-balancing equipment.

Creating Accelerated Broadband Services using Multilink IP

• Boost revenue with ‘custom-branded’ broadband services powered by Multilink-IP technology

Although the thirst for bandwidth seems unquenchable, carriers are reluctant to invest heavily in new infrastructure until they see returns on current services. Also, despite massive bandwidth increases on backbones, the last mile problem – getting fast, affordable, reliable data from the ISP to the subscriber - persists. What if a service provider could make superior performance broadband services available to the customer by using existing carrier services? This is the potential that Multilink-IP (ML-IP) delivers.

Wholesale DSL access purchased from carriers or other access providers can be also enhanced with ML-IP to create differentiated services. These will increase your broadband revenue opportunities because ML-IP extends the bandwidth, application and reliability of any DSL service.
