Empower your Workforce Away from the Office
Your company needs reliable access to corporate servers and applications while away from the office. Remote access services from LightEdge provide ubiquitous dial-up and broadband access to critical network resources—eliminating barriers to productivity for traveling staff or telecommuters. Our remote access solutions make access to your corporate network secure, cost-effective and easy to use.

Remote users are securely tunneled to the LightEdge network, then switched to a LightEdge-provisioned, dedicated connection to your corporate network. Users can access the service from one of more than 700 dial-up points-of-presence via toll-free numbers, or through high-speed cable or xDSL connections. Network security is maintained by user authentication and connection via a private tunnel. Administrators have easy access to Web-based management tools to add, delete or edit user accounts and view usage reports.

Flexible Options

Secure Dial-up Access
Secure dial-up access provides narrowband access to your corporate network, offering local dial-up points of presence in over 700 locations throughout the 50 states, plus toll-free access from anywhere in the country. End users are securely connected via Layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP), providing an alternative to latency-prone, bandwidth-intensive VPN sessions. A connection is established by using a standard PPP client to connect over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to a LightEdge authentication gateway. Services are billed monthly, based on minutes used.

Broadband Access Solutions
For home-based users with Internet access via a Cable modem or xDSL connection, our remote access solution utilizes point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP) to create a secure, encrypted high-speed tunnel to your corporate network. End users simply enter their account information and connect to the corporate network with a specified IP address or host name. Services are billed monthly, on a flat-rate-per-user basis
