FASTtelco through its P-WAN network facilitates secure and reliable access to your central and distributed resources. Employees working in remote offices and locations are able to communicate, share and transmit information in a secure environment as if they were all in one office. This is done by encrypting and transmitting information over either private, leased communication lines operated and managed by FASTtelco, or through the Internet.
Last mile connectivity refers to the physical connectivity between FASTtelco and customer premises. Additionally it defines the technology used over this physical connection.
