The Paradigm Shift
Move from cumbersome, traditional Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) services characterized by poor, unreliable service, to sleek, sophisticated, highly reliable Metro Ethernet solutions.
Why Metro Ethernet?
There are several reasons Metro Ethernet is becoming the communications service of choice for businesses.
- Metro Ethernet is simple. Ethernet is a ubiquitous technology that is already the backbone of local area networks in 99% of businesses throughout the world. What could be easier or more seamless than a handoff to a wide-area Ethernet network?
- Metro Ethernet is scalable. It can handle whatever level of bandwidth you need now, or will need in the future – from speeds of 10 megabits per second to hundreds of gigabits per second.
- Metro Ethernet is extremely reliable. Today’s carrier-class Ethernet, with 99.99% network uptime and sub 50 millisecond network recovery, is designed to deliver the quality of service the most demanding businesses require.
- Metro Ethernet is cost effective. Metro Ethernet from Optimum Lightpath can deliver significant – and growing – savings as compared with traditional telecom services.
Unrivaled Communications Solutions
Optimum Lightpath’s Metro Ethernet offerings are further differentiated with:
- Guaranteed simplicity – including highly competitive, flat-rate pricing that simplifies budgeting
- Guaranteed reliability – <50 ms network recovery
- Guaranteed bandwidth – 100% of the bandwidth you pay for, 100% of the time
- Greatest Savings – if your customers monthly telecom bill is $2,750 per month or more, they could save as much as 33 percent versus their current bill for voice, data and Internet services.
