Wired Lines
Wired communication lines fall into several categories. Each of these categories encompass options regarding the type of network, the type of information traveling over the wire, the speed at which information travels over the wire, and the bandwidth necessary to meet peak demand. Different carriers have different capabilities and strengths in relationship to these options.

• Internet Connection: Also known as IP Services, an Internet connection determines the speed and bandwidth available for data transmission. Popular connections include, T1, DS3, and Ethernet/gig options.
• Network Connections: Network connection options include legacy WAN services, multi-protocol switching (MLPS) and Ethernet, and IP-based VPN technology. The choice made will determine key services metrics including: scaleability, reliability, efficiency, accessibility, and how it will integrate into an overall business continuity strategy.
• Voice over IP (VoIP): VoIP has become a popular option over the years based on its efficiencies and the cost savings an organization can realize over traditional phone networks. Feature rich applications, such as call management, softphone, or single number search applications can further enhance an existing investment in VoIP. VoIP enhances productivity and reduces administrative and operational costs.
• Telecom Expense & Inventory Management: Today’s telecom record keeping frequently causes a major drag on business administration. It is not uncommon for telephone bills to fill boxes and take many man hours to reconcile. Telecoms often make “hard-to-catch” errors that can really add up. Avacorp’s Telecom Expense and Inventory Management services relieve businesses of this difficult and tedious task, thereby freeing up company resources for mission critical duties.

Wireless Lines
When your organization needs to access carrier services wirelessly, you’ll need to consider several variables:

• Devices: The type of carrier service on which you decide depends in many ways upon the types of devices you will use and the ways in which you will need those devices to access and transmit information. These devices can include everything from a smartphone to an embedded notebook.
• Deployment: The devices your organization chooses must be activated to your desired carrier service provider before they can be deployed. Aside from configuring and imaging the device to ensure availability of the correct applications, contacts and information, and compliance with mobility policy and user requirements, it’s important to make sure that all of these factors will align with the carrier’s own capabilities and policies.
• Carrier Management Services: Activating and managing numerous devices across multiple carriers and service lines can prove quite time consuming. A third-party service, Carrier Management Services, relieve the burden of the administrative tasks of deployment and management such as billing, inventory management, technical support, and software licenses renewal. This permits your organization’s IT staff to focus on higher-level business objectives.
