T
o meet the needs of different businesses, RTC has long
offered point-to-point LAN service, symmetrical high-
speed internet service, and other specialized internet
connections. Now we’ve added a new service to the mix—Secure
Site2Site—that enables businesses to connect two or more of their
locations with a TLS circuit.
Before we get into details about Secure Site2Site, let’s review the
related terminology. A local area network (LAN) interconnects
computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, or
office building. By contrast, TLS stands for Ethernet Transparent
LAN Service, a high-speed data service that provides Ethernet
over a fiber optic network to transport the customer’s data between
customer-designated locations.
Dan Schilla, Network Manager at RTC, explains how Secure
Site2Site works: “We physically connect, by fiber, two endpoints. In
our software, we can then tunnel the two locations together creat-
ing a single pipe. Secure Site2Site is available to anyone within
RTC’s service area who is currently connected via fiber optics or
FTTH (Fiber to the Home).”
How can Secure Site2Site help your business? Schilla replies, “Data
security is a major concern for today’s businesses, given all the
threats that exist. This service provides a dedicated connection,
which is more secure than sending your business information
out over the open internet. Secure Site2Site can also save your
business money by not having to invest in your own equipment
to try and secure your traffic from one end point to another. It
basically extends your Ethernet cable for miles and miles.

SPEEDS AND PRICING
FOR SECURE SITE2SITE
RTC offers a range of affordable options to keep your
business locations connected via Secure Site2Site. To
determine monthly pricing, simply multiple the number of
“ends” or buildings times the desired speeds. For example,
connecting two buildings (such as a main office and a
branch office) would be two ends. If both offices are at 10
Mbps x 10 Mbps, the cost would be $150 (two times $75).
10 Mbps x 10 Mbps..................................................................$75.00
50 Mbps x 50 Mbps................................................................$100.00
100 Mbps x 100 Mbps...........................................................$125.00
