Data Networking

The router is the device that connects your business headquarters to remote offices. As technology has progressed, the definition of a ‘router’ has been blurred due to integration of firewall and VPN capabilities via software. Routers are a crucial part of multiple site VoIP implementations as they are the ‘bottleneck’ where high speed LAN environments meet a slower speed WAN environment. We at CTI will assist in the configuration of your routers as well as the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) policies so your data traffic does not overcome time sensitive voice traffic.

CTI is a data service partner with Nortel, Cisco, and Adtran:

Ethernet switching provides the speed, performance, and flexibility required for today’s enterprise networks. The following Ethernet Switching portfolios include a broad range of products designed to securely deliver Layer 2 connectivity, Layer 3 routing and Quality of Service, combined with Layer 4-7 content-aware intelligence. Integrating Layer 2-7 switching capabilities into one solutions portfolio, provides for the needs of the entire network, end-to-end. With integrated network security technologies like 802.1x (EAPoL), deep packet filtering and integrated firewalls the network elements work together to provide a comprehensive security solution throughout the LAN. These Ethernet Switching solutions offer a simplified secure architecture that can increase network reliability, deliver exponential growth in bandwidth, all while delivering a network that becomes a true competitive advantage for your business.

Ethernet switches can also provide the Power over Ethernet required to properly power multiple IP Phones and wireless access points. Today, the traditional ‘data switch’ can even take over the data router’s roles such as routing as mentioned before and even terminate T-1 circuits.
