Ethernet

Ethernet is no longer designed only for the LAN. 10 Gigabit Ethernet is the natural evolution of the well-established IEEE 802.3 standard in speed and distance. It extends Ethernet's proven value set and economics to metropolitan and wide area networks by providing: Potentially lowest total cost of ownership (infrastructure/operational/human capita... l) Straightforward migration to higher performance levels Proven multi-vendor and installed base interoperability (Plug and Play) Familiar network management feature set An Ethernet-optimized infrastructure build out is taking place. The metro area is currently the focus of intense network development to deliver optical Ethernet services. 10 Gigabit Ethernet is on the roadmaps of most switch, router and metro optical system vendors to enable: Cost effective Gigabit-level connections between customer access gear and service provider POPs (points of presence) in native Ethernet format Simple, very high speed, low-cost access to the metro optical infrastructure Metro-based campus interconnection over dark fiber targeting distances of 10/40km and greater End to end optical networks with common management systems For more information about ethernet broadband and equipement please contact us or use our ethernet broadband price tool.Read More
