Ethernet Extensions
High speed Ethernet connectivity across a town, city or region
Ethernet Extensions, also known as LAN Extensions and Ether P2P (point to point), provide high-speed dedicated LAN-to-LAN extension links to interconnect your Local Area Networks (LANs) between different sites. With Ethernet Extensions, you can extend your communications outside the confines of a single site and avoid being constrained by geography in the provision of IT and support services to your sites.
Why Ethernet Extensions?
If you exchange large amounts of data between your sites, or if you need to support business critical applications and high-speed file transfer in order to improve operational efficiency, then Ethernet Extensions could well be ideal for you. Ethernet Extensions are well suited to any organisation requiring:
- A low cost replacement for ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), Private Circuits/Leased Lines
- High quality, high bandwidth dedicated connectivity between two sites
- Joining up Local Government, Health and Education sector sites, within a geographic region
- The transfer of mission critical data
- Reliable voice, data and video applications between sites
- The deployment of distributed applications
- Secure, centralised storage of data
- The establishment of robust disaster recovery solutions
Flexibility and simplicity
Simple to deploy and manage compared with the complexities of a WAN infrastructure, Ethernet Extensions are a secure, fibre-based, service that offer dedicated point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connections at Ethernet speeds of 10, 100 & 1000Mbps, between locations up to 25km apart. Ethernet provides the most flexible wide area bandwidth connections available, enabling you to stay in charge of the evolution of your services; keeping costs under control on the one hand and easily managing bandwidth growth on the other.
Cost effective and reliable solutions
As Ethernet Extensions come with a predictable flat rate pricing structure regardless of usage, they provide an especially cost effective method of connecting two or more remote sites. It costs significantly less to use Ethernet to connect your Local Area Networks than a traditional SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)/PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) private circuit. What’s more, Ethernet Extensions can be used to transport any type of traffic and come with a comprehensive SLA for 24/7 support.
