The Power of Metro Ethernet
There are several reasons Metro Ethernet is becoming the communications service of choice for businesses.
- Metro Ethernet is extremely reliable. Today’s carrier-class Ethernet, with unmatched reliability and sub-50 millisecond network recovery, is designed to deliver the quality of service the most demanding businesses require.
- Metro Ethernet is scalable. It can handle whatever level of bandwidth you need now, or will need in the future – from speeds of 10 megabits per second to hundreds of gigabits per second.
- Metro Ethernet is simple. Ethernet is a ubiquitous technology that is already the backbone of local area networks in 99% of businesses throughout the world. What could be easier or more seamless than a handoff to a wide-area Ethernet network?
