FlexIP
    
'quality guaranteed under all circumstances'


Mach6 offers its solutions on two different platforms, both developed in house: SpaceWeb and FlexIP.

Based upon the latest proven technology, FlexIP has been designed specially for communications under critical circumstances.

What you get

- dynamic bandwidth allocation
In time of emergency, you need a flexible system that can be changed rapidly.

FlexIP offers dynamic bandwidth allocation, a unique feature of our platform. Customers have a dedicated bandwidth which can be adapted to changing business demands when needed by a specific application.

For example, businesses need extra bandwidth when they make data backups at certain times or send video material to their branches. This extremely flexible solution offers the highest quality of service for each individual application.

- guaranteed quality
When using VoIP (voice over IP) on FlexIP, the quality is guaranteed under all circumstances. And the same applies to video conferencing or to critical business applications like large-scale ERP or CRM environments.

With its dynamic bandwidth allocation option, FlexIP stands out from leased lines where such guarantees are simply not possible.

SHOD

Mach6 supplies FlexIP at different speeds for various types of subscription.  Our platform is also one of the few on the market to support single hop on demand (SHOD).  This allows customers to connect multiple sites directly to one another using FlexIP. There is no need for extensive investment in large numbers of modems for each branch and head office.

SHOD needs only one modem per site, with communication between them requiring no connection to Mach6. This reduces delays, a crucial factor in time-sensitive applications like VoIP and video conferencing. And there is no more annoying latency when you wonder if someone has actually heard what you said.

'extra bandwidth when you need it.'

Example

How does quality of service on our FlexIP platform work?

Suppose you have a 256/1024 kb Silver subscription.  That means a 256 kb upload
and a 1024 kb download, both fully dedicated.  But both can burst up
to twice that speed, giving you as much as 512/2048 kb when needed.

With a Silver subscription, you have an additional contention-to-burst ratio of 1:10.  That means an extra dedicated bandwidth of 10 per cent.

256/1MB Silver
Silver means that you have a contention-to-burst ratio of 1:10.
