The demands for bandwidth and stability in wide area networks (WANs) are increasing every year. Professional customers – especially companies and public institutions – therefore require high-performance and reliable solutions such as cloud-controlled SD-WANs. However, those who provide these SD-WAN solutions know that much more matters. A high degree of integration and future viability, high availability, efficient multi-site management, scalability, and transparent costs are just some of the key factors to consider when setting up an SD-WAN.
We firmly believe that Managed Services Providers (MSPs) and carriers in the SD-WAN sector benefit from having a trustworthy regional partner – one that combines innovative technologies with a practical, customer-centric approach. As a German full-service network manufacturer, we develop highly secure SD-WAN one-box solutions distinguished by their diverse interfaces, redundancy features, and uniquely holistic cloud management.
This makes LANCOM Systems not only a driving force behind digital sovereignty in Europe but also a strong SD-WAN partner for MSPs and carriers looking to implement secure, high-performance, and future-proof SD-WANs.

LANCOM SD-WAN x MSPs
How to optimize your multi-tenant networks with our SD-WAN offering
Managing multiple customer networks without the support of a software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) quickly becomes a major challenge for managed service providers (MSPs). Without scalable remote management, rising travel expenses, time-consuming manual configurations, and the inefficient use of scarce IT specialists drive up costs and hinder MSPs from further growth.
Cloud-based network management with SD-WAN offers a far more efficient solution: Customer networks can be effortlessly and securely separated, while management, monitoring, and maintenance can all be handled remotely from the MSP headquarters. Services can be deployed much faster and at a higher standard, while cloud services and security-as-a-service concepts integrate seamlessly. This reduces the workload on your IT team, enables more tailored responses to customer requests, and boosts network performance and customer satisfaction.
With a LANCOM SD-WAN, you also gain the competitive advantage of a trustworthy and reliable German solution – offering one of the most advanced and intelligent management platforms on the market, along with cutting-edge technologies. This makes it the ideal choice for optimizing profits, ensuring digital sovereignty, and securing long-term investments.
LANCOM SD-WAN x carriers
How carriers achieve operational efficiency with SD-WAN solutions
Carriers are constantly engaged in network expansion and line optimization within their area of responsibility. This demanding task becomes significantly easier with SD-WAN technologies, as they enhance independence, flexibility, and future viability.
SD-WAN optimizes bandwidth through dynamic load balancing, enables faster deployment of new locations, and reduces reliance on costly MPLS lines – ultimately lowering costs. It also strengthens overall network security and provides the foundation for real-time monitoring, as well as SaaS and IaaS offerings.
The benefits become apparent soon after deployment: greater customer satisfaction and improved business continuity. This is largely due to the scalability and operational efficiency of SD-WAN. Carriers themselves also gain from the integration of the latest technologies and cloud services, along with reduced infrastructure costs.
