Transport

Wavelength division multiplexing, typically offered by Evocative in the form of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), allows multiple signals to be carried on a single fiber optic cable instead of just one signal. 

This mouthful-of-a-technology translates to a more cost-effective solution than dark fiber for interconnecting your locations, while still providing your business with the same point-to-point connectivity and bandwidth capabilities. 

Although waves provide less flexibility in equipment and optic selection, cost and availability make a wave connection an enticing choice for inter-site connectivity.

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) allows Evocative to virtually connect two of your business’ locations together, even over a vast distance, as if they were directly connected or just a single hop away. Like our other transport services, MPLS guarantees fast, low-latency connectivity for your mission critical applications, but between places where a dark fiber run or wave connection is not available or cost prohibitive.

MPLS is commonly referred to as MPLS VPN because it connects your locations over a private, virtual link that runs through our Evocative network backbone. Unlike a VPN tunnel established over broadband, MPLS from Evocative requires no VPN configuration on your end and ensures your connection will always perform to defined SLAs – a must for latency-sensitive applications like voice and video.
