Connect IP is ideal for small/medium businesses, plus smaller branch sites of enterprise and government organisations. For larger organisations that have more complex needs and a requirement for extra flexibility, Business IP may be more suitable.

A simple approach to building your network
Connect IP™ takes the headache out of building an enterprise-grade network, offering a simple, integrated approach that includes access, IP connectivity, on-site equipment, Telstra’s network management solutions and data connectivity - all in a single per-site service.

For additional simplicity, Connect IP™ Telephony can converge your voice and data networks into one, reducing complexity within your business and delivering productivity benefits to enhance the way you do business.

Reduce network management costs
Reduce investment in IT management resources by outsourcing the management of your network to Telstra. Connect IP™ provides an operational expenditure price-per-site model, with no significant upfront hardware investment required, and can potentially be more economical than sourcing separate network components from multiple vendors. Ongoing costs are fixed so your business can plan for and budget network costs in advance.

Helps connect your business
Connect IP™ can manage valuable data travelling between your business sites, including IP voice and video telephony using Connect IP™ Telephony. Connect IP™ is compatible with other Telstra IP solutions that allow remote employees from many locations to securely connect to the network.

Grow and enable your business
Connect IP™ is highly scalable (1-5000 sites) and can be tailored to suit your budget, as well as networking, application and staff needs, without major concerns over equipment obsolescence and ongoing maintenance. As your business grows you can easily add new sites to your network. Plus you can increase access speeds between sites by simply upgrading your package and letting Telstra take care of the rest. Your business is supported with advanced features such as Class of Service and proactive network monitoring, and you can easily add new capabilities with a range of compatible Telstra IP Value Added Services.
