Corporate Local Area Network (LAN) Extension


Ethernet over a wide area network

The easy way to connect remote offices to the corporate LAN via high-speed WAN links without the need for a router or skilled support personnelAn Ethernet Switch and a WAN interface in a can - at a very attractive price !!

LAN extension does not have to be complex!

The connection of a remote office, with it's respective LAN(s), to corporate LAN resources makes a lot of sense - the remote office is then 'virtually' a part of the corporate network and can use the same IT resources.

But, do you really have to be bothered with integrating routers, switches and wide area communication links? - NO !

Your LANs can be connected together without using routers, which means less equipment, less configuration and less maintenance i.e. less cost. All you need to do is work out what speed comms link you need.

If you could buy a single Ethernet switch that connects your remote office LANs onto a standard high-capacity Wide Area Network (WAN) comms link that is connected to your head office LAN - wouldn't life be so much easier?

WAN-in-a-CAN from Metrodata does just that.

At a very affordable price, you can connect up to 4 remote site LANs via a leased line to your HQ.

You don't need deep pockets, and a key point is you also don't need skilled people to install - just plug-in and go!
