Ethernet Anywhere - Extend Scalability and Flexibility of Local Area Network to Wide Area NetworkFeatures
Benefits
Advantages
Whether you are a large enterprise or a small company, Ethernet Anywhere can help you simplify your organization's networking needs. Ethernet provides an array of bandwidth options and connectivity choices, allowing you to select the solution that best serves your business. Scalable Solutions Ethernet Anywhere takes established Ethernet technology and extends it beyond the local area network (LAN) environment into a wide area network (WAN). Our bandwidth selections begin at 5 megabits per second (Mbps) of service and continue all the way to 40 Mbps, with tiered options in between. Since we use a standard Ethernet (10/100M) handoff between our network and your facility, expanding your existing solution can be done quickly and easily in increments of 2 Mbps. Compare this to telco circuits, which require you to buy connectivity at archaic levels of 1.5 Mbps or 45 Mbps. The telephone companies' rigid technology forces you to buy over capacity in order to meet your needs. Ethernet Anywhere can be custom tailored for your specific needs with provisioning time half that of a similar T-1 connection. Flexibility of Service Ethernet Anywhere is a true Layer 2 solution that supports Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), allowing one circuit to support both internet service and point-to-point connections. This allows businesses to segment their physical connection for specialized uses, like Voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing, separate and secure from email and file sharing. VLANs are not possible using a single telephone connection. This same customer would need a separate circuit to carry each unique channel of voice, video, and data at a higher cost and less total capacity than Ethernet Anywhere. Cost Savings The ubiquitous acceptance of Ethernet in the LAN environment has made the equipment mass-produced and inexpensive to deploy. Unlike standard telephony-based services that require customers to purchase expensive routers or switches to convert their Ethernet LAN traffic to a TDM WAN protocol, Ethernet Anywhere allows customers to connect to the network using their existing equipment. By leveraging the standard that IT managers know and trust, you no longer need a large technical support staff to realize the benefits of a broadband WAN interconnection. Reliability Unlike experimental and proprietary connections, Ethernet Anywhere is a proven technology deployed in LANs throughout the world. It is based on a standard protocol approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and has been in continuous existence since 1983. Ethernet Anywhere takes advantage of multi-paired delivery from our network to your facility. By providing redundancy to your location, we greatly reduce the likelihood of service interruption. We make a guarantee that monthly credit will be issued for interruptions of service. |
