Global Capacity Group Inc. (GCG), a virtual network operator, is offering enterprises an MPLS IP WAN platform anywhere in the country for a flat-rate price of $700 per location.

The rate includes access, a router and GCGs Gold Level monitoring and management service, which provides online admittance to the companys network operations center, QoS, SNMP monitoring and automated e-mail alerts.

The service is sold through agents. GCG said that because the technology is complex, it is willing to work closely with agents to provide education and engineering backup. Commissions break down to 80/20 and the contracts are evergreen, GCG said.

Companies are moving to MPLS solutions because they combine the performance and privacy inherent in legacy WAN technologies with the flexibility and cost advantages of packet-based IP networks, said John Abraham, GCGs managing director for enterprise services. Our flat-rate pricing package takes the guess work out of the equation and makes it easy to predict exactly what it will cost to build or extend a WAN.
