Line-Provider Metro Ethernet & Ethernet over Copper footprint expanded

March 1, 2013 - PRLog -- NEW YORK -- After 36 months of building up their carrier portfolio, Line-Provider.com has more than tripled its Metro Ethernet & Ethernet over Copper footprint and is now reaching over 465,000 multi-tenant buildings across the United States. The expansion in the number of addressable buildings and growth in bandwidth capabilities ranging from 10 Mbps to 10G represent immediate access to high-speed, symmetric bandwidth.

With Line-Provider.com’s self-serve platform, businesses can now research metro Ethernet offerings and footprints from multiple carriers without having to contact them all. As all businesses, regardless of size, need to work with their Cloud-based enterprise applications and data in real-time, they require high bandwidth both upstream and downstream—symmetric bandwidth— a need that shared asymmetric access technologies like cable do not meet.  This is one of the large contributing factors to the growing demand for dedicated Ethernet bandwidth services.

While the connection on an Ethernet over copper cable is similar to that of a conventional Ethernet cable, the physical layers used for Ethernet over copper are different from the physical layers used for conventional Ethernet, so special adapters are required for Ethernet over copper; the Ethernet over copper connection cannot be plugged into a conventional Ethernet port on a switch, router, or computer. EoC is usually delivered as an "internet facing" service. EoC can also be delivered other ways. It can interface with private networking (i.e., an existing WAN, MPLS, or VPN network). Can also support SIP, PRI, analog, and hosted PBX voice services as well.

Ethernet over copper cabling is made up of twisted telephone wire, it is affordable. This consistency of Ethernet between the service provider core and the customer network reduces overhead, increasing performance & providing a more consistent connection to the user.

Ethernet over copper reliability is the same as that of a T1 line, if not greater. And even though T1 line costs have dropped below $200, Ethernet bandwidth is still a more cost effective solution according to Line-Provider.
