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.

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.

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.

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.

Will Carriers "Light Buildings"?
Some will if their closest point of presence (POP) is within a mile or so of your location. The farther away you are, the higher the bandwidth commitment needs to be in order to justify the carrier's construction costs.
