Network-based IP VPN

Sprint IP VPN services deliver a best-of-both-worlds approach to connectivity, delivering the flexibility and global reach of the public Internet and the security and performance of a private networking solution.

Sprint Network-based IP VPN solutions provide secure connections between corporate offices, customers, partners, and suppliers while reducing the need to deploy and maintain extra equipment. It's the solution of choice for companies looking to avoid the capital investments of hardware-based IP VPNs and the ongoing expense of hiring and training technical support.

With a network-based IP VPN Solution from Sprint, you can:

Establish Intranets, Extranets or Remote Access networks using either IPSec or hybrid networks including both technologies
Integrate existing network platforms and management by connecting disparate legacy networks on to one seamless platform with improved flexible access
Leverage the award-winning Sprint IP backbone for maximum availability and performance with minimal delays by utilizing Sprint's CoS Mechanisms which allow you to prioritize traffic
Avoid expenses associated with internally-managed transport, hardware, and security

Broad options for maximum flexibility, security, and performance guarantees

Network-based IP VPN solutions are highly configurable, and support bandwidth requirements up to DS-3. With Sprint, you can choose an IPSec-based IP VPN to support your intranet, extranet or remote access network.

And we back your VPN connectivity with end-to-end service level agreements (SLAs) covering availability, backbone delay, packet loss, and busy-free guarantees (terms and conditions apply).
