Our Ethernet solutions combine the reliability and ubiquity of Carrier Ethernet with next-generation metro area transport technology. The result is an efficient, fully restorable network that’s easy to manage and ready for any vertical or application requirement. And the natural flexibility of Carrier Ethernet allows us to offer a range of solutions that give you varying levels of control to meet the bandwidth and security requirements you need—today and in the future.
Our business Ethernet solutions include MetroE Advanced Private Line (MAPL), E-Line, Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) and Ethernet Private LAN (E-LAN). With support for Layer 2 point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint topologies, you can seamlessly extend your Ethernet network from your building into the metro area and beyond.

Key benefits.
- Scalability: Flexible and scalable bandwidth that allows you to pay as you grow for long-term network evolution connectivity.
- Control: Simple installation, management and turn-up with no protocol conversion, which offers rapid provisioning compared to other platforms.
- Efficiency: Seamless interconnection with no additional equipment on your premises, which reduces equipment capital costs. Cost-efficiency on both a cost per bit and cost per port basis compared to fixed TDM technologies.
- Flexibility: Dedicated or switched solutions with multiple service configurations including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint. We can layer with Class of Service (CoS) for you to prioritize your mission-critical applications.
