Metro Ethernet: Keep Your Business Connected

In the modern, competitive marketplace it is more important than ever to keep your business connected. Businesses require access to the public internet as well as a means to share data securely between offices. These goals can often be met with Metro Ethernet.

Metropolitan Area Network

Metro ethernet is a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) using ethernet standards. Ethernet standards are well-known for connecting Local Area Networks (LAN) in businesses and even for home users. Metro ethernet expands on the LAN concept to bring in more users in a relatively small geographic area, such as a few city blocks up to an entire city.

This is a significant advantage of Metro Ethernet for business users. Because of common ethernet standards, it can integrate easily with the LAN that many businesses have already implemented for their local system.

Additionally, Metro Ethernet networks require less equipment than traditional synchronous optical network (SONET) solutions. As a result, Metro Ethernet network can be constructed at significantly reduced cost compared to a traditional network of the same bandwidth. Metro Ethernet also requires less maintenance, reducing cost of ownership over the long term.

Scalability

Metro Ethernet can readily add or downgrade bandwidth to match your business needs. Your business can get the network capability you need and no more – no more paying for bandwidth you don’t use. As your business grows, the Metro Ethernet network will grow with you.
