Wide Area Network (WAN)
If you have more than one site you will have a Wide Area Network (WAN). These sites are connected via the WAN that can be made up of point-to-point connections or they can be public connections running a Site-to-Site Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Ultimately you just want your sites connected, Essant’s WAN Solutions take the pain away by ensuring correct routing and security levels are put in place and constantly updated in line with industry and best practices and current security guidelines.
Essant is a 'Hybrid Virtual Network operator'. This capability enables us to seamlessly blend services from a number of major carriers and service providers to create the most appropriate and cost effective solution to meet each customers specific needs via a single service contract. Our consultative approach to how we design, secure and manage WANs enables us to provide our customers with bespoke, high quality solutions.
The unique element Essant offers to the WAN market is the provision of Essant Intelligent Bandwidth (EIB), as an optional element to the Essant Managed WAN, this proprietary technology ensures the efficient use of network resources through a combination of optimisation, shaping and acceleration technologies.

Wireless Mobility
Business has gone mobile. The number of employees that expect access to network resources to improve productivity has increased significantly over the past few years and the trend shows little sign of slowing anytime soon. Business mobility means consistent access to corporate applications over the rig
ht network to the right user at the right time. Delivering this experience requires IT to give careful consideration to how the network is architected. The proliferation of mobile devices, the need to unify multiple access networks and the demand for mobility applications has increased the drain on IT resources. Few IT organisations will see an increase in the resources required to meet these impending mobility demands. Yet, a new approach to architecting the mobility network will simplify the delivery of business mobility without requiring a significant increase in IT resources to get the job done.
To deliver true business mobility, IT must take a practical approach focused on unifying networks, managing the wave of mobile devices, and
enabling mobile application development. IT must evolve existing wireless networks to support a variety of new mobility applications. What's more, these applications must be able to extend across multiple networks and scale from small businesses to the very largest enterprises.
To achieve this transition, IT must transform the wireless LAN into a mobility network by creating an open network platform capable of enabling the development of a broad variety of mobility applications designed to improve business agility and competitiveness. Such a platform requires an open interface to allow third parties to source network intelligence in a consistent way without compromising
the security or performance of the production network. To achieve this, IT must abstract the services layer from the network layer. This approach allows for the delivery of mobile applications across access networks, including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, and WiMAX. Furthermore, this allows for the integration of a broader Internet of "things" including passive RFID and sensor networks by bridging control and provisioning of these physical networks.

Unified Communications
Today's every time, everywhere unified communications systems bring together voice, video, data, and mobile applications to liberate employees from their desktop and improve business agility and profitability. Voice over IP (VoIP), or IP telephony is the first stage in realising these goals, it is also the foundation for more advanced unified communications applications—including Web and video conferencing—that can transform the way you do business.
All businesses strive to save money and increase productivity. In addition we are all becoming increasingly aware of the impact that business travel can have on climate change and are striving for ways to reduce CO2 emissions. TelePresence delivers a unique, "in-person" experience so you can meet people without travel, thus saving time as well as money. You can communicate and collaborate more effectively any time, anywhere, with everyone.
