ACS’s Advanced Network Service combines our best-in-class Metro Ethernet and MPLS technologies to connect all your business locations around the state or the world – so all locations operate as if they were in the same building.

We take Ethernet straight from your hardware and carry the data anywhere in the world – get rid of legacy Frame Relay Switches or Private Line interfaces.
Since your staff works with Ethernet every day, there is no need to hire specialists.

ACS ANS/MPLS is available across Alaska from Deadhorse to Kodiak. And unlike legacy technologies, each location can be customized, with speeds from 256 Kbps to up to a GigE. There is no need for complicated, expensive and time consuming provisioning of point-to-point links.
This flexibility allows you to invest in high bandwidth where you need it, and save in smaller locations, optimally managing overall spend.

At ACS, most future upgrades are simple software changes. We do it in hours rather than the weeks that legacy technologies require, especially valuable for seasonal businesses.

With ACS ANS/MPLS, by converging all of your voice, video, internet, and data applications you save more. You choose a Gold, Silver, or Bronze service level for each of your traffic types. Mission critical applications will run ahead of less sensitive ones. We can change as your priorities change.

With ACS Advanced Network Service your traffic is isolated from the public Internet, so it is protected from IP security threats.
With proactive network planning and design, if a network emergency occurs at one of your locations, we can automatically reroute your traffic to your other locations; your business continues to operate; no need for human intervention to redirect circuits.

ACS ANS/MPLS is the most cost effective solution in the market place today.
Lower Initial Cost: No hardware upgrades, no specialized training.
Lower On-going Cost: Cost-effectively scale the network to your needs, and simplify your on-going network maintenance.
Converge Services: Combine voice, video, internet, and data services for greater efficiencies.
Savings that Grow: The cost per location declines as you add more sites.
