ADT Home Security Alarm Systems:
ADT is the leader in affordable high-tech alarm systems in the United States based on state-of-the-art technology and equipment that provide Interactive Monitoring with World Wide Web access, mobile phone access, email alerts and other notifications of intrusions upon the safety of your family.

Any monitored intrusion into your home will be quickly reported by one of the 5 United States ADT Security Services Customer Monitoring Centers that continuously protect your family and home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It's important to understand that most security companies only have one monitoring center, and in some cases, that one center is not based in the United States or even managed by an actual security company.

With ADT, you get security from five interconnected command centers that are strategically located throughout the United States. Each command center is backed by powerful equipment and trained professionals, so if one connection is interrupted, one of the other centers can handle the monitoring for your home.

This means ADT is prepared for various emergencies. Other companies may not be equipped to provide this level of protection. A company offering only one monitoring center may not be able to protect your home and family in the event their one center goes down.

Don't risk your home and family's safety, choose ADT (America's #1 security company) for monitored security protection. With ADT, your home is monitored 24 hours a day. In the event of an emergency, your ADT system can transmit a signal to one of ADT's five monitoring centers. The receiving monitoring center then will attempt to contact the homeowner via phone after the signal is received. If the person who answers the phone cannot supply the personal identification code, or if no one answers the phone, the representative then can notify local authorities. Local authorities may be dispatched to the home to determine the cause of the disturbance and to respond to emergency situations.

MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching):
MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).




Ethernet Internet:
Ethernet is the most widely-used data network protocol today. Standardized as IEEE 802.3, the Ethernet protocol is used for local area networks (LANs) at the Layer 1 (Physical Layer) and Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI networking model. Ethernet can be used to connect twisted copper pair networks and to connect fiber optic cable networks. It also provides a great local access medum to connect LANs to the Internet. Ethernet access to the Internet is quickly becoming the access method of choice were it is available.




Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL):
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet. The downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps. The main limitation on bandwidth speeds available is the distance from the customer premise to the local telephone company central office.




Wireless Internet Service:
High-speed satellite and microwave Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless IInternet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.

 Virtual Private Networks (VPN) 101

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jan 6, 2009


As the VPN market approaches maturity at a brisk pace, vendors have been forced to rethink the tradition identity of their IP Security-based technology for letting users securely access enterprise resources via the Internet. Most large companies in need of linking their offices together have done so on frame relay networks. Although frame is still a useful product many users have found that the reduced cost of VPN gives them an attractive alternative.

During the last 18 months, vendors have pushed VPN technology into different devices, have lessened the distinction between VPN and firewall products, and have demonstrated a strong willingness to deviate from standardized technology to meet corporate remote access requirements. VPN services now come bundled with many dedicated services and several service providers are using VPN products as a loss leader so they can sell circuits. When investigating the use of VPN products make sure you speak with a professional who can guide you through the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the product. While it is a cost reduced alternative to frame it is a different product and should be thoroughly researched.

One of the advantages of a VPN is that internet access is not based only on the hub and spoke layout. The users away from the hub are able to access the internet through their own connection rather than going through the hub and creating a bottleneck. Users will only need to connect through the hub if they need to access information from the central database. When researching alternatives such as VPN, like always, we recommend you consult with a professional and not just a salesman for a VPN company. Make sure the individual you speak with is unbiased and will give you the strengths and weaknesses of each product. We recommend one of the brokers at T1 price for unbiased recommendations of multiple carriers.
