WAN Bottlenecks Easily Unclogged
Your Wide Area Network or WAN may be the bottleneck in your network when you have significant voice or data transfer between facilities. With lower line prices available, unclogging the WAN can cost less than you think and can unleash higher business productivity. Metro and Carrier Ethernet services from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps give you the WAN bandwidth you need.

What is Ethernet over Copper
Ethernet over Copper, or EoC, uses copper transmission lines rather that fiber optics. T1 lines are most often used to transport mid-band Ethernet signals in the 1 to 10 Mbps bandwidth range when provisioning fiber optic lines is too expensive.

What is PBT?
PBT stands for Provider Backbone Transport. It's an adaption of Ethernet to extend Layer-2 switching into the WAN transport network. PBT was pioneered by Nortel and will be standardized by the IEEE as PBB-TE.

What is QoS and how do you get it?
QoS means Quality of Service. Most often you hear about QoS when referring to converged networks that transport both packet voice and data. QoS mechanisms may include prioritizing voice packets over data because voice is much more affected by latency and jitter.

What is Mid-Band Ethernet?
Mid-Band Ethernet is a WAN or Wide Area Network technology that delivers 2 to 45 Mbps over existing copper pair wiring. This bandwidth range falls neatly in between T1 lines at 1.5 Mbps and DS3 service, usually provided over fiber optic carriers, at 45 Mbps. As a native Ethernet delivery system, mid-band Ethernet offers an easy way to extend the corporate network beyond the premises.
