Connect Your Business
Straitshot Network Overview
With today's demanding business applications, choosing an enterprise network is a critically important decision. Your network is your communications cornerstone. It is vital to your success, and you will not compromise its performance. Until now, you've had no alternative; the two historical technology choices, frame relay and virtual private networks (VPNs), are nothing but compromise. VPN users trade performance and security to achieve cost savings, and frame relay does not deliver satisfactory application performance despite its high cost.
Straitshot Communications eliminates the need to compromise by providing superior network performance without high cost or complexity. As the leading provider of private application networks to distributed enterprises, Straitshot Communications has created an elegant and robust network solution for your crucial voice and data applications. Straitshot's patent-pending network architecture provides dedicated bandwidth, layer 2 privacy, and full quality and class of service that surpass what traditional carriers can deliver. Finally, companies can enjoy superior performance in a fully managed, fully private service while realizing significant cost savings over legacy solutions.

The Straitshot Difference - Custom design, No Compromise
Each IPN is customized to meet an organization’s unique
needs based on metrics such as bandwidth demands, network applications
and redundancy requirements. Straitshot’s Intelligent Private
Network (IPN) Service is ideal for enterprises that enjoy the
flexibility and cost advantages of a routed IP network, but require
the security and guaranteed performance of a private layer-2 network.
Therefore, the service is extremely valuable to Multi-Location
Enterprise and Single or Multi-Site VoIP customers. The scalability
and flexibility of the solution makes high-performing converged
networks a viable, cost-effective option for Small to Medium Sized
Enterprises (SMEs).
Straitshot gives each customer exclusive networking capacity,
eliminating bandwidth sharing while reducing latency and minimizing
jitter. Backbone capacity is always available for high-demand
applications because there is no sharing with other customers,
and traffic is dynamically prioritized into and out of the network
core as well as to the customer premise. Business-class service
is fully guaranteed because Straitshot supports all QoS and CoS
features within the network core and, more importantly, across
all last mile connections.
Virtual vs. Private - An Obvious Choice
At first glance, virtual private networks look like a good value. They minimize bandwidth costs by using the public Internet to transmit data. They are a complex combination of tunneling and encryption that attempts to emulate a private network. The compromise comes in the form of unreliable performance and increased management costs.
Because VPNs rely on the Internet, they are necessarily subject to its inherent performance and security risks. When traffic or threats are high, your data are affected. VPNs cannot guarantee quality of service and class of service. Thus your throughput cannot be guaranteed, nor can priority for one application over another be maintained. You are limited in the number and types of applications your company can deploy and operate successfully. These are limits that affect your company’s efficiency and growth. The up-front savings on bandwidth often prove a false economy, as a VPN can cost your company much more in the future.
For about the same cost as a VPN, Straitshot provides a fully private, fully managed solution that never requires tunneling or encryption. Straitshot’s private network architecture eliminates the security concerns that come with public or semi-public alternatives. The customer’s applications are never subjected to the performance and security risks of the public Internet. Straitshot’s network provides the performance guarantees required to support demanding applications such as voice and video while delivering a reliable communications platform that will continue to meet your business needs.
