A nationwide network operator and managed services provider based in California, AireSpring serves thousands of businesses nationwide on its IP Network through partnerships with more than eighteen major network providers and carriers. AireSpring has received multiple awards for its products and most recently, the company’s AirePBX Cloud Business Phone System earned a 2017 Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award from Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC). The Internet Telephony Award celebrates innovation in the IP communications field and recognizes the market’s highest quality products uploaded in the last year. Winners of the award are featured in Internet Telephony Magazine. The AirePBX Cloud Phone System provides professional, unified communication capabilities with a range of advanced features that reduce communication costs and offer unified connectivity across multiple locations. Users can easily switch between desktop and mobile devices during live calls, and if AireSpring's managed connectivity option is chosen, receive assistance from a network operations center (NOC) team who monitors and manages circuits and traffic 24 hours day, 365 days a year. Additionally, clients receive a pre-configured system that trained technicians install and test on-site which also includes placing and testing a phone on every desk, setting and configuration of switches and routers to ensure prioritization of voice traffic to reduce latency and ensure quality of service or QoS for all VoIP calls.
AireSpring, a nationwide network operator and managed services provider, offers a variety of services within the managed-connectivity and cloud-communications industries. Managed-network services at AireSpring include SD-WAN, an increasingly popular connectivity option among business organizations. Short for software-defined, wide-area network, SD-WAN refers to WAN connections that span enterprise networks across widespread geographical locations. Businesses often use WAN to connect their branch offices or data centers to the central corporate network, allowing for easy communication among various locations. The SD-WAN approach was developed in response to cloud-based network control, which often benefits from a software approach.SD-WAN simplifies the delivery of Wide Area Network (WAN) services to branch offices, improving connectivity and WAN management. The rise of SD-WAN, which has an estimated market value of $6 billion, is a direct result of the rise of cloud applications. Many businesses are adopting cloud applications for the lower costs and easier accessibility, but speed and bandwidth remain an issue.According to a survey of 160 companies conducted by IDG Connect, a technology media company, landlines and traditional WAN architectures are “inadequate to maintain competitiveness as [businesses] move more of their applications to the Cloud.” Most businesses can see the benefits of SD-WAN, but wonder how they can incorporate it into their current network infrastructure. The thing to know about SD-WAN is this: SD-WAN isn’t built to uproot the world of connectivity and networking. In fact, it works to support existing technologies, rather than replace them. SD-WAN is an overlay technology. Your existing network becomes the underlay. SD-WAN overlays encrypted tunnels across every single upstream underlay circuit you have (MPLS, Internet, fiber, broadband, T1, T3, LTE, etc.) to create inter-site connectivity. It doesn’t care if the circuits are wildly different from each other or if the speeds up/down don’t match – it’ll drive each circuit to its maximum potential in terms of utilization, packet loss, packet sequence, errors, latency, jitter, and much more. SD-WAN implements strict monitoring of all traffic over all paths. Utilizing your policy inputs, it gets right to work with a rich set of features and the ability to steer traffic sub-seconds between paths, using per-packet steering and its very smart application-aware IP stack. SD-WAN provides a number of advantages that other business network options do not. Businesses can increase their bandwidth by utilizing low-cost broadband which many companies have installed for failover or back-up connectivity. SD-WAN also enables organizations to manage the network’s configuration from a central location, improving reporting and maximizing network visibility. In addition to allowing businesses to scale without the installation times associated with traditional networks, SD-WAN minimizes costs associated with maintenance and local network staff.
