MPLS/Private WAN
EarthLink's nationwide, private MPLS network can provide primary or backup connectivity for all your store locations and data centers, ensuring end-to-end security to support PCI compliance. Quality of Service (QoS) and Class of Service (CoS) ensure the reliability of applications over T1 or lower-cost DSL.

Lower costs significantly and maintain secure, reliable voice communications services for all your retail stores by integrating voice and data over a single high-speed network. EarthLink voice services can be configured with flexible options which include hosted voice, line side service, SIP trunks and PRI. Unified communications, disaster recovery and business-calling features can be added to improve customer service and reliability.

Direct Connect provides a secure, direct connection via EarthLink’s MPLS network to leading payment processors. Direct transport of POS traffic to your payment processors lets you reduce transaction times to as little as two seconds and reduce operating costs while supporting PCI compliance requirements.
