Cross-border · MPLS
Cross-border MPLS — L2 and L3 VPN across the border.
MPLS L2VPN (VPLS / EVPL) and L3VPN services over Jelly Digital's cross-border backbone — connecting multi-site networks on both sides of the US/Mexico border with QoS classes for voice, video, and business-critical data, multi-carrier interop, and single-provider operation end to end.
MPLS remains the cleanest way to build a multi-site enterprise WAN that crosses the US/Mexico border. Jelly Digital operates an MPLS core on top of our cross-border backbone — reaching sites in Baja California, San Diego, Los Angeles, and onward via partner connections. Layer-2 services (VPLS, EVPL) and Layer-3 IP VPN services are both on the menu, with a quality-of-service framework tuned for the realities of cross-border enterprise traffic: voice, video, ERP, and latency-sensitive database replication.
Services on our MPLS core
L2VPN (VPLS and EVPL)
Virtual Private LAN Service for multipoint Ethernet connectivity, or Ethernet Virtual Private Line for point-to-point L2 transport. Your sites look like they're on the same switch — your routing, your addressing, your broadcast domain.
L3VPN (IP VPN)
Layer-3 IP VPN with any-to-any routing between sites. You hand us IP prefixes at each site; we route between them within your VRF. Clean separation from other customers, no shared routing tables.
Quality-of-service classes
Prioritization classes for real-time voice, video conferencing, business-critical data, and best effort. Your traffic gets the service it needs without fighting for bandwidth with bulk file transfers or backups.
Multi-carrier interop
We interoperate with other regional MPLS providers for sites outside our direct footprint — connect distant branches via partner carriers while keeping one contract and one point of accountability.
Cross-border native
Mexican sites and US sites live inside the same VPN. The border crossing happens inside our network — no carrier change, no hand-off, no bilateral agreements to negotiate with another operator.
Internet breakout options
Centralized internet breakout from one site, distributed breakout at each site, or hybrid. Tuned to your security posture and compliance requirements.
When MPLS is the right choice
You run multiple sites with real business traffic between them. Voice, video, ERP, branch-to-HQ replication — traffic that genuinely needs low jitter, bounded latency, and reliable bandwidth. Internet VPNs run over best-effort paths; MPLS gives you committed transport.
You need single-provider accountability. Running sites across multiple carriers means multiple contracts, multiple escalation paths, and blame shifting when something breaks. A single MPLS service across your footprint gives you one throat to choke.
Compliance or security posture favors private WAN. Financial, healthcare, and regulated industries often prefer MPLS for its clean tenant isolation — your traffic doesn't traverse the public internet between sites.
You're pairing SD-WAN with a predictable underlay. Modern SD-WAN solutions work beautifully with MPLS as their preferred class of underlay transport — combining policy routing at the edge with guaranteed underlay performance in the middle.
MPLS FAQ
Is MPLS still relevant in an SD-WAN era?
For traffic that needs guaranteed performance — voice, video, business-critical applications — yes. SD-WAN over commodity internet is great for elastic office traffic, but many enterprises keep MPLS as a committed underlay for their most critical flows. The two coexist, and many customers do exactly that on our network.
Can I extend MPLS to a site you don't serve directly?
Yes, via partner interconnect. We maintain Layer-2 and Layer-3 peering relationships with other regional MPLS providers — sites in, say, interior Mexico or other US regions can join your VPN through a partner extension. You stay with a single contract on our side.
How many QoS classes do you support?
Typically four: real-time (voice), interactive (video conferencing), business data (ERP, file sync), and best effort. We'll tune the specific CoS configuration to your application mix during service design.
Do you provide managed CPE or just the circuit?
Both options. For customers with their own network engineering team, we can deliver at a handoff interface and let you operate the edge. For customers that prefer managed, we can supply CPE, configure it, monitor it, and remediate issues proactively.
