MPLS
Connect your offices, data centers, and branch locations over a private MPLS network with guaranteed QoS, predictable latency, and carrier-grade SLAs — without your traffic ever touching the public internet.

What Is It
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a private WAN technology that routes traffic through a carrier's dedicated network infrastructure — completely separate from the public internet. Traffic between your locations travels over private circuits with guaranteed bandwidth, predictable latency, and Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization that keeps voice and video performing even during peak data loads.
MPLS is the right choice when your business operates multiple locations that need to share applications, data, or voice systems reliably. Healthcare networks sharing EHR data, financial institutions linking branches to a core banking platform, and manufacturers connecting plants to headquarters are all classic MPLS use cases. The private, non-internet path also satisfies compliance requirements for HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2.
Fibi evaluates your location footprint, bandwidth requirements, latency sensitivity, and compliance obligations, then sources and negotiates MPLS options from 300+ carrier partners — including AT&T, Lumen, Comcast Business, and dozens of regional providers. You get a side-by-side comparison without spending weeks talking to each carrier individually.
Why It Matters
MPLS traffic travels exclusively over the carrier's private backbone. No public internet exposure means reduced attack surface, simplified compliance scope, and predictable performance regardless of internet congestion.
MPLS allows traffic classification by application type. Voice, video, and critical business applications get priority bandwidth over bulk file transfers and general browsing — configured at the network level, not just at the router.
Enterprise MPLS circuits come with contractual SLAs for uptime (99.99%+), latency, jitter, and packet loss — not best-effort estimates. Carriers pay financial credits when they miss targets.
MPLS supports full mesh, hub-and-spoke, and hybrid topologies. Any location can communicate directly with any other location on the network without hairpinning traffic through headquarters.
Add bandwidth to individual sites or the entire WAN without deploying new physical infrastructure. Bandwidth upgrades on MPLS circuits typically take days, not weeks.
The private nature of MPLS makes it easier to satisfy network isolation requirements under HIPAA, PCI DSS, FINRA, and SOC 2. We document the architecture for your compliance audits.
The Fibi Advantage
Who Needs This
Connect hospitals, clinics, and medical offices over a private HIPAA-capable path. EHR traffic, PACS image transfers, and telehealth sessions get QoS priority — and PHI never traverses the public internet.
Banks, credit unions, and insurance companies use MPLS to link branches to core banking systems with the latency and security guarantees that financial regulators expect.
POS data, inventory sync, and loss-prevention video feeds between stores and headquarters. MPLS delivers consistent performance across all locations with a single carrier SLA.
Production floor systems, ERP platforms, and supply chain applications require reliable, low-latency WAN connectivity. MPLS connects plants, warehouses, and corporate offices without public internet dependency.
Law firms and accounting practices handling confidential client data benefit from MPLS's private path and documented compliance posture for malpractice insurance and client security assessments.
When your phone system or unified communications platform is hosted at a data center or cloud node, MPLS provides the low-jitter, prioritized path that voice and video quality demand.
