Private Networks

I've just set up a company called Content Networks. Its simple aim is to enhance the lives of digital signage operators with Wide Area Networks.

We actually own a "Core Network'; the part of a network that configures and routes the rest of it. It uses MPLS, the protocol of the Tier 1 data carriers, and we use it to set up private WANs to look like LANs. It really is that simple.

If you've got a signage network with branches all over the country, this is the way to do it. No messing around with floating IP addresses. You can have fixed line or wireless, or both, with automatic failover between them. The whole network is fully redundant.

And it's secure. It's not even visible to the Internet, so there's zero possibility of being hacked.

Very exciting. It's going to transform Digital Signage in the UK.

We've just signed up our first customers.

This is going to be big.

More news as it happens.
