IP MAN

Focus your resources on running your business rather than your network.

Telstra’s IP Metropolitan Area Network (IP MAN) is a high speed, flexible and easy- to- use ethernet on fibre network service designed to improve business productivity across a number of sites.

A simple and cost-effective way to connect offices within metropolitan areas, the solution is available in most metropolitan areas and a growing number of regional centres.

Choose to create your own advanced virtual private network (VPN) by connecting your IP Metropolitan Area Network (IP MAN) services to other Telstra IP Solutions and an extensive range of permanent data and dial-up products.

Facilitate more efficient usage of bandwidth
A key benefit of a private IP Solution is the access flexibility IP Metropolitan Area Network (IP MAN) can provide. Businesses can gain control of their data network, with the ability to scale their access capacity from 2Mbps to 1000Mbps as they grow.

Prioritise your traffic levels in more detail
Your business can apply greater data traffic prioritisation and refinement as a result of the increased number of levels of Class of Service (CoS) performance guarantees. The six levels of CoS better supports the convergence of voice, video and other network applications.

6CoS is now available to IP MAN, IP WAN and GWIP customers. Customers currently with 3CoS can be migrated to 6CoS, to take advantage of the benefits of the additional levels of CoS. 

Helps monitor performance of network components
Manage the ongoing performance and maintenance of your network and minimise downtime and subsequent disruption to your business using enhanced reporting functionality, developed through eHealth.
