Advantage of Colocation Bandwidth
Colocation is locating your servers in a colocation facility, also known as a carrier hotel. Advantages of this approach include ready availability of low cost bandwidth including 10 Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet options. These data centers also offer backup power, environmental control and high levels of security.

What does Convergence mean?
Convergence is the merging of voice, data and often video onto a single network. Most often that network is a company LAN with enough bandwidth to accommodate all users and QoS or Quality of Service control to ensure high quality voice and video transmissions.

Is Ethernet a Full or Half Duplex system?
The original Ethernet implementation was based on avoiding collisions on packets all sharing the same network line. Small networks using hubs are half-duplex. Switched Ethernet networks are full duplex because the layer 2 switches prevent packet collisions.

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 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.
