Enterprise Internet special line: optimize network cost and performance//Global IPLC service provider of Shigeng Communication
一、Analysis of Internet special line cost: how enterprises optimize network cost and performance
1. Overview of Internet special line fees
Internet dedicated lines (such as MPLS, optical fiber dedicated lines, SD-WAN dedicated lines, etc.) are the core infrastructure for enterprise network connection. Their cost composition is complex and affected by many factors. For enterprises with global business distribution, such as New Zealand companies, it is crucial to plan the dedicated line costs reasonably.
1.1 Main components of dedicated line fees
Typical cost range for expense type description (New Zealand market)
Initial installation fee for line opening and equipment deployment: NZ $1000- NZ $10000
Monthly rental fee Fixed bandwidth fee (such as 100Mbps) NZ $500- NZ $5000/month
International link fees for cross-border dedicated lines (such as New Zealand → China) range from NZ $2000 to NZ $15000 per month
SLA guarantee fee 99.9% vs 99.99% availability+15% -50% basic fee
Operation and maintenance management fee monitoring, technical support NZ $200-NZ $2000/month
1.2 Key factors affecting the cost of dedicated lines
✅ Bandwidth requirement: The cost difference between 100Mbps and 1Gbps can reach 5-10 times
✅ Coverage: Local dedicated line vs international dedicated line (such as a premium of 30% -100% for China direction)
✅ Service level: Enterprise level SLA (low latency, high availability) is 3-5 times more expensive than consumer level broadband
✅ Operator selection: Spark/Vodafone dedicated line vs second tier operator (price difference of 20% -40%)
How can companies optimize dedicated line costs?
2.1 Hybrid network architecture (SD-WAN+Internet broadband)
Cost Comparison of Traditional MPLS Dedicated Line vs SD-WAN Hybrid Solution (Taking New Zealand Enterprises as an Example):
Cost savings of pure MPLS dedicated SD-WAN hybrid solution
International dedicated line NZ $8000/month NZ $3000/month -62%
Local broadband without NZ $200/month+NZ $200
Redundant backup NZ $4000/month (dual MPLS) NZ $500/month (4G/5G backup) -87%
Total monthly cost NZ $12000 NZ $3700-69%
Optimization effect:
The delay in the Chinese direction can still be controlled within<100ms (through intelligent routing)
Availability increased from 99.9% to 99.99% (multi-path redundancy)
2.2 Bandwidth on Demand
Dynamic adjustment: Temporary expansion during promotion period (such as from 100Mbps to 1Gbps) to avoid long-term high rent
Cloud billing model: Some operators offer "pay by data" dedicated lines (such as AWS Direct Connect)
2.3 Negotiation Strategy of Operators
Long term contract discount: 3-year contracts are usually 20% -30% cheaper than 1-year contracts
Bundle service discount: Simultaneously purchasing cloud services and security services can reduce the unit price of dedicated lines
Multi operator bidding: Introducing quotes from multiple providers such as Spark, Vocus, 2degrees, etc
3. International dedicated line cost case: New Zealand → China direction
3.1 Typical Scheme and Cost
Solution Type Delay Stability Monthly Cost (100Mbps)
Ordinary internet 250ms+low NZ $300- NZ $800
International MPLS 150ms high NZ $6000- NZ $12000
SD-WAN optimization 90-120ms extremely high NZ $2500- NZ $5000
Submarine cable dedicated line 80ms, maximum NZ $15000+
3.2 Cost Optimization Practice
Case: A New Zealand trading company adopts a hybrid solution of "SD-WAN+CN2 Premium Network":
Original cost: MPLS dedicated line NZ $8000/month
New plan:
Main use: Telecom CN2 line (NZ $3500/month)
Backup: Regular broadband (NZ $200/month)
Save: NZ $4300/month (54% ↓), latency from 180ms to 110ms
4. Future trend: further reduction of dedicated line costs
5G enterprise private network: replacing some fiber optic dedicated lines, reducing deployment costs by 40%
Low Earth Orbit Satellite Internet (such as Starlink): Alternative to Dedicated Lines in Rural Areas
AI driven traffic prediction: reducing redundant bandwidth procurement
Cloud vendor direct connection (such as Azure FHIR): 20% -50% cheaper than traditional carrier dedicated lines
5. Conclusion: Suggestions for Enterprise Dedicated Line Cost Management
Assess actual needs: avoid excessive procurement of "high-end, low-end" dedicated lines
Adopting SD-WAN hybrid architecture: maximizing cost-effectiveness
Flexible billing model: on-demand bandwidth+multi cloud direct connection
Regular renegotiation: Evaluate the operator market every 2-3 years
