Metro Ethernet and Fiber Optics Metro Ethernet is the
closest
thing to plugging straight into the carriers network, through the
use
of fiber optics. Fiber optics are an advantage over
traditional
copper connections associated with serial interfaces because
fiber is
able to transmit higher bandwidth over longer distances without
signal
degradation. This is because single-mode fiber that is used
overcomes many of the drawbacks of copper medium, such as
electro-magnetic interference. Fiber optics are more
expensive, however, not only for the cable, but also for the
equipment
interfaces. That is why metro ethernet over fiber is not
everywhere yet. It takes time to build out the network, but
the
footprint is growing. What about ethernet over copper (oec)?
If metro ethernet runs over fiber optic lines, then why would I
would
it also be availabe over copper?
Since fiber optics don't yet run up to every business, but there
are
current exixting copper lines. This enables an ethernet
connection. Is
there a drawback? Yes, speeds won't be as high. Ethernet over
copper
may only be up to 10 Mbps. Ethernet over serial may have a higher
rate,
but not the same as fiber optics.
Some of the metro ethernet service providers that also offer
ethernet
over copper are XO, Mosaic Networks, and Quest.

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jul 4, 2009 Why shouldn't shopping for a dedicated internet service be as simple as shopping for a plane trip to Hawaii? In the past the process of getting pricing for dedicated internet service has been anything but simple but that has just changed. Today getting a t1 line price is as simple as entering your information and hitting "enter". With GeoQuote software brokers are now offering real-time T1 prices just like you had hoped you could get when you started your search. GeoQuote is a software recently released that allows brokers to give real-time pricing to those seeking service. The software is doing for the telecom industry what Sabre did for the travel industry. In the 60's AMR, the parent company of American Airlines created software and then began licensing it to the public. This software backed by massive databases was spun off in the form of "Sabre" which owns Travelocity and licenses this software to travel brokers and websites. If the creators of GeoQuote follow the same path as Sabre, this software will be the industry standard and brokers will have to use this software to enable their customer to get quotes in real time. While some brokers are able to run a profitable business without giving out real-time information these brokers will soon see their profitability reduce as they spend more time gathering information than actually dealing with customers. If you're currently searching for service, make sure you find a broker that uses Geoquote software. |
