What is the leased line?

Leased line is a type of connection between your company & ISP Internet service providers. As it is a private leased line, it is not shared by anyone in the sense that the connection to the network is private.

  Some advantages of the Leased Line are:

  • Leased line is very fast, because no one except the company participates in it, and the carrier speed is very high.
  • In terms of security and protection, it is much better than any other type because data and information are in one communication channel, and no one can contact or access them.

 

Also, Leased line have some disadvantages like:

  • Leased line Very fast, because no one except the company participates in it, and the carrier speed is very high. In terms of security and protection, it is much better than any other type because data and information are in one communication channel and no one can contact or access them.
  • Leased lines service can be provided at the best price in Egypt, while ensuring ease of procedures and implementation.

 

What are the ways to contact the Leased Line?

Communication and connectivity via a leased line require several things. For example, connectivity devices such as routers and switches must be available, and this type of communication also depends on some protocols that must be activated when we want to work with a leased line.

What is broadband service?

Broadband service is characterized by increasing the speed of communication through telecommunications signals to increase the bandwidth, which means an increase in the speed of the Internet connection. It is well known that the success of various applications and information, which include all types of electronic transactions, depends mainly on the existence of a secure and fast Internet that accommodates all different applications and information. Therefore, the countries of the developed world built fast fiber optic networks to accommodate all scientific and practical applications.

Broadband technology in most areas is Internet over cable or Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL). It is the latest technology in DSL and high-transmission optical fibers.

There are two groups of broadband technologies, fixed broadband and wireless broadband.

  • Fixed line solutions communicate through networks that provide a direct wired connection from the customer to the service provider.
  • Wireless solutions, on the other hand, use radio frequencies or microwaves to provide communications between the operator and customer networks.

What are the advantages of a broadband service? 

  • Secure and fast that accommodates all different applications and information. 
  • The presence of broadband services leads to the development of health services, education, and various economic activities.
  • It also helps to obtain distinguished electronic services and to create a stimulating environment for knowledge and creativity.

What is the difference between broadband connections and leased lines?

  • Maximum Speeds

    Leased lines offer speeds of up to 10 Gbps (10,000 Mbps). Maximum broadband speeds are much lower. It provides “up to 24 Mbps” for downloading.

  • Monthly price

    There is a big difference in cost between leased lines and broadband. Leased lines cost much more than rent.

  • Faster Repair

    A leased line provider typically offers Service Level Agreements (SLAs), guaranteeing that they will achieve certain “service levels”. If they don’t, their customers may receive a service credit (a refund from a future bill, as compensation).

  • Static IP addresses

    This is not a technical difference, only a business difference.

    Most non-commercial broadband services give customers an IP address that changes frequently. Leased lines come with a static IP address or a small range of static IP addresses.

  • Installation Lead Time

    Leased lines take about 60-90 working days to install. Broadband usually takes 10-15 business days.

  • Duration of the contract

    Leased line contracts tend to last 36 months, or fail at 12, 24, 48 or 60 months. Broadband is often sold in 1-month, 12-month, 18-month, or 24-month contracts.
