EtherLine
Ethernet is both a prevalent and a widely understood protocol especially in the LAN environment. It has a reputation for being both cost effective and reliable. Constrained for many years to the LAN environment, recent advances in fibre optic technology and switching electronics, as well a greatly reduced bandwidth costs, have meant that it is now both possible and cost effective to extend Ethernet services across both metropolitan and national networks. Using Ethernet across the WAN and MAN greatly simplifies network design and management overhead as well as offering far higher levels of bandwidth at much lower cost than traditional leased line based services.
Etherline™ is a resilient, cost effective managed service providing flexible connectivity between any two locations using virtually concatenated SDH backbone network capacity (from 4Mbps to 1Gbps) to achieve the desired throughput. Global Crossing has extensive National and Metropolitan coverage throughout the UK with over 100 Points of Presence (PoPs). Global Crossing will allocate a Committed Data Rate (CDR) to meet specific requirements. Global Crossing offers competitive Service Level Agreements due to the highly resilient build of our SDH network infrastructure. Should a failure occur SDH offers protection options to ensure network traffic will re-route quickly and efficiently.
