Increased bandwidth needs drives growth of Carrier Ethernet Services

Carrier Ethernet Service has become mainstream. It's forecast for dramatic growth due to the ever increasing bandwidth needs of both small businesses and large enterprises. It's simplicity, and lower cost, over other types of traditional telco TDM services such as T-1's and DS-3's make Carrier Ethernet the preferred network service for Internet and Wide Area Networks like MPLS, VLPS with EVC's. 

The challenge is not in network managers choosing Carrier Ethernet over other types of transport, the challenge is in "Sourcing and Quoting" the service, since no one carrier can provide it to all domestic or international locations.

At Vocio we can quickly and accurately "Source and Quote" Carrier Ethernet Services from over 70+ carriers including:

AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink (Qwest/Savvis), Windstream (Paetec), Sprint, Abovenet, Time Warner Telecom, Time Warner Cable, Cox, XO, Cogent, Level 3 (Global Crossing, Masergy, Charter Business, Comcast Business, Covad, Expedient, Fiberlight, Lightower, NTT, Optimum Lightpath, Orange, Reliance Globalcom, Sidera Networks, American Telesis, Nitel, Zayo Group, and numerous others.

• Quickly "Source and Quote" all types Carrier Ethernet for all domestic and international locations

• Identify whether your location is On-Net (Lit Building) or Off-Net with a carrier

• If Off-Net tell you how close a carriers fiber network is to your location, and esitmate construction costs to become On-Net (Lit Building). 

• Qualify location for:

• Ethernet over Copper 10MB

• Ethernet over Copper 20MB

• Ethernet over DS-1's (7 bonded T-1's)

• Ethernet over DS-3

• Ethernet over fiber access

Carrier Ethernet is available in speeds from 5MB up to 10GB and can be used to access Internet Services and for either Point-to-Point and Multipoint network configurations. Carrier Ethernet is available in most US cities and many international locations.

It can also support protocols such as MPLS, VPLS, EPVL, EVP-LAN and any number of network applications. Carrier Ethernet can be offered with a SLA's of up to 99.999% (five nines) for mission critical applications, and with Quality of Service to prioritize traffic. Most services are provided as a completely meshed native Ethernet network that is secure and reliable.

Network Managers prefer Carrier Ethernet for most applications

Network managers prefer Ethernet due to its simplicity over other types of services that provide similar bandwidth such as DS-1, DS-3, OC-X level services, and even though the carrier may use those services to deliver the Ethernet, as in the case of using bonding 7 DS-1's for one flavor of 10MB Ethernet, what's important to the network manager is the handoff from the carrier is native Ethernet, there is no need for expensive T-1, DS-3 or OC-X equipment and muxes.
