Bluegum DSL - WAN Links

Wide Area Network Services

BLUEGUM DSL WAN Services allow businesses flexibility and cost savings in managing their data communications.

Because transferring and retrieving data between offices is so vital for any business to function effectively, it is critical to choose a reliable and affordable service. That's why BLUEGUM DSL WAN Services are the right choice for small to medium businesses in Australia.

BLUEGUM DSL WAN Services are powered by Request DSL, the "ATUG 2002 Carrier of the Year" and the "PC Authority Labs Award for Business Broadband".

Request DSL is a wholesale broadband telecommunications company delivering flexible and innovative broadband access solutions to businesses throughout Australia. The Request core network utilises equipment and software from Cisco Systems, the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet.

BLUEGUM DSL WAN Services come with Service Level Agreements and a 99.9% service availability target.

BLUEGUM DSL Datalink Services

BLUEGUM DSL Datalink Services make communications between business sites seamless, reliable, easy and affordable. Here's some points on Datalink Services:

Datalink is designed to connect your separate office networks as if they were one.
Datalink services offer equivalent throughput and reliability to traditional WAN services, like ISDN and Frame Relay at significant cost saving.
Datalink pricing is simple with a fixed monthly fee that relates to the speed you select and the distance between your offices.
BLUEGUM DSL provides a Business grade Service Level agreement for 99.5% availability and a 99.9% target.
Datalink is flexible, you can increase or decrease the speed of your service to match performance and budget requirements.
Datalink is monitored and managed end to end, round the clock, including remote monitoring of the router in your premises. A service response is initiated by us if a fault alarm occurs.
Datalink support is available 24x7, so in the unlikely event that something goes wrong we're here to help.
Datalink is installed and available within 21 days of receiving your order.

The BLUEGUM DSL Datalink Service utilises symmetric Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) paths through the network and DSL as the connection mechanism into customer premises. Speeds range from 64 Kilobits per second to 2 Megabits per second in 64 Kilobit increments. Please see some indicative pricing below:

BLUEGUM DSL VPN Services

BLUEGUM DSL VPN Services are an even more cost effective alternative to traditional WAN services. Unlike alternative VPN solutions that utilise expensive VPN hardware and Internet connectivity, BLUEGUM DSL VPN Services do not require VPN hardware purchases and are not carried on the Internet. Your data never leaves the Request DSL network and the virtual circuits are controlled and implemented within the network. This means that your data is secure without the need and overhead of encryption. Here's some points on VPN Services:

The VPN Services are delivered via Symmetric (512K, 1Mb, 2Mb) or Asymmetric (384K, 2Mb, 6Mb) services at each site.
Alternatively, you can access the services via Ethernet or ATM.
There is no charge for data transfer between sites within a State.
Fixed charges apply for inter-capital traffic. You purchase a committed rate between states ranging from 64K to 2Mb and can then burst to 4 times the CIR depending on network traffic (much like Frame Relay).
BLUEGUM DSL provides a Business grade Service Level agreement for 99.5% availability and a 99.9% target.
Configuration is simple.
Pricing is fixed.
Like Datalink the VPN Services are flexible, you can increase or decrease the speed of your service to match performance and budget requirements.
VPN Services can also provide Internet Access via a separate virtual circuit whilst utilising the same equipment and service. Internet download charges would apply.
BLUEGUM DSL VPNs can range from 2 sites to many thousand sites.

The VPN Service can make Extranets a reality. Extranets link customer, supplier and Business Partner networks together to enhance communication and performance. The VPN Service can provide secure connectivity and allow collaboration between stakeholders on any project.

Whether you need to connect 2 sites, 10 sites, 100 sites or build an Extranet with your partners, we can help. Please see some indicative pricing below:

Indicative Pricing Example 1** (All prices excluding GST)
