Ethernet Connect

Ethernet Connect Global features:

Our global ethernet has two basic services: E-Line and E-LAN. On Ethernet Connect "E-Line" we offer two configurations: E-Line Private Line or Ethernet Virtual Private Line. Ethernet Connect "E-LAN" provides E-LAN services, also known as Ethernet Virtual Private LAN services (VPLS) and offers any to any connectivity between sites.

Ethernet Connect's features include:

• native ethernet service, which gives you the complete freedom over your end-to-end architecture that you would expect from layer 2 services
• the foundation of the Ethernet Connect is the Ethernet access which now allows you to connect to the Ethernet Connect service but a host of other platforms, like cloud, IP VPNs and the Internet. That improves your agility and reduces the time to deliver new services and connections, reducing your total cost of ownership
• Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVC’s) allow you to choose service types, speeds and classes of service for each virtual connection. You have the flexibility to create networks configured as Ethernet Private Line, Ethernet Virtual Private Line and Ethernet LAN services, also known as Virtual Private LAN Services
• flexibility to choose speeds from 2Mbps to greater than 1Gbps and the classes of service to prioritise and match the application policy your organisation needs.
• national and international coverage in 60 countries across Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America, with others available with long line access.
