Leased Lines
What is a leased line?
A leased line is a data link used to connect 2 corporate offices for the purpose of transferring information between the 2 offices.
How many branches/office locations must my business have to require the use of a leased line?
Your business must have at least 2 office locations that need to share information on a regular basis.
What is the difference between the Leased Line and Dedicated Internet services?
A leased line is simply a link on which you can transfer your information. MTN provides the link and you put the information on it. Dedicated Internet provides dedicated access to the Internet (World Wide Web) to enable you access online information from across the globe.
What is the maximum capacity of one leased line?
The capacity of the leased line is the capacity that you requested for on signing up. For example, a 3Mbps leased line gives you a maximum capacity of 3Mbps, available whenever it is needed.
Does the leased line have a limit on download and upload speeds?
The limit on the download and upload speeds for your leased line is indicated by the capacity of your leased line. Thus, a 2Mbps leased line gives a 2Mbps speed limit for both uploads and downloads. Note that this refers to upload and download of files from within your own company network, since it is simply a leased line.
How secure is my business information when I use the leased line?
Your business information is as secure as your internal and private company network. Since the leased line provides connectivity between your various office locations or branches, your company information is secure along the line, since the only point of entry onto the link is through your own private company network.
Can I connect my branches in a remote location?
You can connect branches wherever MTN provides data connectivity. Contact us at talkbusiness.ug@mtn.com for information on which remote locations have leased line services.
How much are the leased lines?
The price of a leased line depends on the capacity of the leased line, and where it is located. Contact us at talkbusiness.ug@mtn.com for more information.
