Unmanaged WAN

Already have connectivity? Keep it.

Not every project requires a new broadband service. Many organisations already have connectivity available at site through corporate networks, existing broadband services, MPLS, SD-WAN, private WANs or managed service providers.

GridSecure can overlay our services on top of your existing network without requiring you to replace your WAN provider or redesign your wider network architecture.

Why customers choose this approach

βœ“ No need to replace existing WAN services
βœ“ Works alongside existing network investments
βœ“ Rapid deployment
βœ“ Lower overall project costs
βœ“ GridNet telemetry and monitoring available
βœ“ Retain control of your WAN provider

Existing Infrastructure

We don't need to own the WAN.

One of the biggest misconceptions in network projects is that introducing a monitoring platform or secure overlay means replacing the existing network. In reality, GridNet can sit on top of almost any internet-connected service.

Whether your connectivity is delivered through FTTP, leased lines, SD-WAN, MPLS, private APN, corporate broadband or a third-party managed service provider, GridSecure can typically integrate with minimal disruption.

We simply take WAN connectivity from your existing network device and establish secure communications through it.

Telemetry & Operational Assets

GridNet telemetry still works.

Choosing an unmanaged WAN does not mean losing access to GridNet functionality. Customers can still benefit from secure addressing, monitoring, telemetry visibility, uptime reporting, alerting and remote access capabilities.

The underlying WAN simply becomes another transport method carrying encrypted GridNet traffic.

Typical requirements

βœ“ Existing internet connectivity
βœ“ Basic firewall rule changes
βœ“ Outbound access to GridSecure services
βœ“ Suitable network location for deployment

Flexible by design

Your WAN. Our overlay.

GridSecure believes the best solution is not always replacing existing infrastructure. If your organisation already has a network strategy, we can often complement it rather than compete with it.

We provide addressing, routing, monitoring, telemetry and secure access whilst allowing you to retain ownership of the underlying WAN service.
