Network-as-a-Service
Traditional WAN architectures fragment across multiple carriers, each with distinct SLAs, escalation chains, and provisioning timelines. Network-as-a-Service collapses this into a single managed transport layer — dedicated internet, private MPLS, dual-carrier failover, and bonded last-mile links — all monitored under one operational model. When a carrier degrades or a fibre cut occurs, the fabric routes around it before end users perceive any impact.
Overview
Clevertek designs and operates your underlying transport as a unified service abstraction rather than a collection of point-to-point circuits. Dedicated internet access and private MPLS links serve sites requiring guaranteed throughput, latency bounds, and class-of-service differentiation. Dual-carrier failover with BGP prefix advertisement and sub-second convergence ensures that a single ISP incident never propagates to your users. Bonded last-mile links aggregate multiple transport types — fibre, LTE/5G, LTE/5G — into a single logical pipe, delivering office-grade performance at locations outside the fibre footprint. Our 24x7 NOC continuously probes each path for latency, jitter, and packet loss against committed SLAs, automatically triggering carrier escalation and traffic re-routing before degradation becomes an outage. Because we sit between you and the carriers as the accountable integration point, one phone call replaces the vendor finger-pointing cycle when anything needs to change. The result is deterministic WAN performance across every site, governed by a single SLA and a single operational relationship.
Capabilities
What's included as part of this solution.
Dedicated Internet
Symmetric business-grade LTE/5G and leased-line circuits with committed information rate (CIR) and fixed uptime SLAs — contrasting with best-effort residential links that lack bandwidth guarantees. Includes static public IP allocations, BGP peering for multi-homing, and proactive carrier fault management so your production connectivity is engineered for availability rather than inherited from a consumer tariff.
- Committed Information Rate (CIR) with uptime SLA guarantees
- Static IP blocks and BGP multi-homing capabilities
- Proactive carrier fault lifecycle management
Private Line & MPLS
Any-to-any private L2/L3 connectivity across branch sites with traffic isolation via VRFs and class-of-service (CoS) marking, ensuring latency-sensitive flows like SAP ERP and SIP voice never contend with background traffic. MPLS provides deterministic forwarding with traffic-engineered LSPs, making it the backbone for predictable application performance across distributed enterprises.
- Per-VRF class-of-service and traffic prioritisation
- Encrypted L2/L3 private backbone with traffic isolation
- CoS-aware MPLS label-switched path routing
Last-Mile Diversity
Dual independent ISP paths into each site with BGP-based fast convergence and sub-second failover via IP SLA tracking or BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection). When a carrier experiences a fault — and all carriers do — traffic is rerouted before end users detect packet loss, because a single cable cut or routing flap is absorbed by the surviving path.
- BFD-assisted sub-second failover convergence
- Active-active load sharing or active-standby topology
- IP SLA probes across multiple carrier paths
Carrier Aggregation
Bonded LTE/5G and cellular (LTE/5G) last-mile transport aggregated into a single resilient WAN link for remote, temporary, or fibre-inaccessible sites. Per-packet or per-flow steering distributes traffic across available transports, delivering office-grade throughput at locations where trenching fibre would require months of civil works.
- Bonded LTE/5G + LTE/5G with per-flow load distribution
- Policy-based traffic steering by application class
- Single logical IP path across multiple physical transports
Proactive Monitoring
24x7 active probing of every circuit for latency, jitter, and packet loss against contractual SLAs, with automated carrier ticketing and traffic re-routing triggered by configurable thresholds. Monitoring transforms reactive outage response into predictive degradation detection — you learn about a failing link from a notification, not from a user complaint.
- Real-time latency, jitter, and packet-loss SLA tracking
- Automated incident ticket creation with carrier escalation
- Monthly utilisation and performance trend reporting
Bandwidth on Demand
Temporary capacity uplift for data migrations, live events, or seasonal peak loads without contract renegotiation or permanent over-provisioning. Billing applies only to the uplift window, so a demand spike that lasts days is not priced as a year-round commitment. Per-site shaping allows granular control over which locations receive burst capacity.
- Time-boxed bandwidth uplift with automated provisioning
- Consumption-based billing with no long-term contract lock-in
- Per-site bandwidth shaping and policy enforcement
Where it's used
Real-world scenarios where this solution delivers measurable outcomes.
Multi-branch retail
Connect 40 stores and the back office on a single MPLS-based private network with centralised policy enforcement via SD-WAN controller. When a store's primary LTE/5G link drops, BFD triggers failover to a secondary LTE path in under one second — POS transactions continue uninterrupted and no manual cutover is required during trading hours.
Remote site with no fibre
A new distribution warehouse sits outside any existing fibre footprint. We aggregate 4G cellular and fixed wireless last-mile transport via carrier bonding into one managed link delivering 100 Mbps with sub-50ms latency from day one — eliminating the typical six-month trenching timeline and civil engineering costs.
Frequently asked questions
Do you manage the carrier relationship, or just the equipment?
We own the end-to-end carrier relationship — procurement negotiation, SLA compliance monitoring, proactive fault escalation, and service restoration — so you deal with one accountable partner rather than a finger-pointing chain of carriers, resellers, and installers.
Can you connect sites on different carriers?
Yes. Carrier-neutral architecture is foundational to our design; we aggregate MPLS, LTE/5G, and cellular transports into one managed overlay, so a multi-carrier estate presents as a single routed domain with consistent policy enforcement.
What happens when a link fails?
BFD-enabled fast convergence reroutes traffic to a healthy path in under one second, and our NOC receives automated alerting within the same window — typically before any user observes the event or your helpdesk fields the first call.
Can you do this without us changing carriers?
In most deployments, yes. We layer SD-WAN overlays and failover management atop your existing circuits where they meet minimum performance baselines, and introduce alternative transport only at sites where it is technically justified. No forced rip-and-replace.
How fast can a new site be connected?
A standard LTE/5G or wireless site can be provisioned within days; a dedicated leased-line circuit follows the carrier's installation lead time, but failover path and monitoring are configured pre-go-live so the site operates at resilience baseline from hour one.
Why choose Clevertek for Network-as-a-Service
One accountable partner for end-to-end solutions — here is what buying from us actually gets you.
One accountable partner
A single SLA and support relationship spanning every carrier and circuit type. When a site goes dark, you call us — we own the diagnostic path across MPLS, LTE/5G, and cellular layers, with no multi-vendor escalation loop for fault isolation.
Carrier-neutral design
We recommend the optimal transport mix per site based on cost, latency, and redundancy requirements — not the single circuit a proprietary vendor relationship incentivises. Your estate, optimised by data rather than quota.
Proactive, not reactive
24x7 BFD and IP SLA probing detects link degradation and triggers failover at the network layer before users perceive packet loss — typically before your helpdesk opens an incident ticket.
No CapEx, flexible capacity
Operating-expense pricing with on-demand bandwidth bursts for migrations, events, and peak seasons. Capacity you grow into, not shelfware capacity you lease and never utilise to committed levels.
