Sharing Business Broadband Costs
Even smaller businesses can have high performance dedicated Internet access by splitting the cost of a fiber optic Ethernet connection with other businesses in their building or business park.

How is PoE used for IP Phones?
PoE or Power over Ethernet is a standard that defines a way to transmit electric power to network devices as well as information packets. When PoE equipment is installed in equipment lockers, an IP telephone gets its power from the network and does not need a separate AC power supply.

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.

How does Spanning Tree Protocol work?
STP or Spanning Tree Protocol is a technique used by Ethernet switches to ensure that there is one and only one physical path from source to destination. This is done to prevent forwarding loops.

What is 2BASE-TL?
The 2BASE-TL designation refers to an Ethernet over Copper delivery technology offering 2 Mbps per copper pair over metropolitan area distances from the central office equipment. It is part of the Ethernet in the First Mile project, also known as IEEE 802.3ah. This technology leverages existing copper phone line for native Ethernet WAN services.
