Network Alternative for Any Business-Critical Application
Straitshot's patent-pending network is ideally suited for today's
business applications and ends the compromise between expensive
legacy networks and unreliable Internet VPNs. Using Straitshot,
companies receive the following features and benefits: -- Dedicated
Network Capacity Offers Maximum Performance and Lowers Bandwidth
Costs. Straitshot gives each customer exclusive network capacity,
eliminating bandwidth sharing between customers. This means that
customers are not forced to add more bandwidth to combat latency or
jitter issues, making this a more economical solution over
traditional frame relay networks. -- Quality of Service (QoS) and
Voice Prioritization Delivers Unprecedented Reliability. Unlike
VPNs, Straitshot supports quality of service (QoS) within the
network core and across last mile connections. In addition, the
Straitshot Network can prioritize traffic based upon the
application type, ensuring that voice calls and video are
maintained at the highest throughput while bandwidth for lower
priority data sessions is dynamically scaled back. -- Multi-Carrier
Redundancy Provides Guaranteed Availability. Straitshot's
patent-pending architecture uses multi-access technologies to
deliver 99.999% availability. About Straitshot Communications
