A comparison Chart

[Guest]

Hi,

I have been searching the internet without much luck, does any one know of a
website that has a comparison table, or something like that between wireless,
lease lines, vpn, frame relay etc. I need to decide which is right for my
new WAN.

Cheers
Sam

You might try DSLReports.com for a start.

It does however seem backwards, since you probably
should first identify your needs and what is available
in your area.

For instance, wireless is seldom a good WAN choice
is something else is already available (DSL, cable, or
even T1-T3.)

Phones lines may be the only thing practical for those
"out of town" and might work if they have low bandwidth
needs.

VPNs imply some underlying technology since they
basically cross someone's else's network.

Availability, cost, bandwidth, security, locations, etc.
