What is Metro Ethernet (or MetroE)?

Metro Ethernet is a WAN service deployed over a metropolitan area. The service provider extends Ethernet over fiber optics to a customers building, and the customer connects the cable to their LAN switch or router. The service provider can offer the customer either fastethernet or gigabit ethernet speed. The customer can order whatever bandwidth they want to, from 10 Mbps to 1 gigabit ethernet speeds. This is a cost saving to the customer as well as increased simplicity without transferring protocols back and forth.

Metro ethernet is flexible because if your business needs more bandwidth than a T1, but not as much as a DS3, metro area ethernet allows you to order in 1 Mbps increments. Metro area ethernet is also perfect for providing the bandwidth needed if your business is using voip, ip cameras, large file sharing, or managed services.
Ethernet is well known, connecting virtually all networking equipment. This makes the ethernet interface inexpensive. Ethernet also makes it easy to connect several locations through a vpn. The Metro Ethernet Forum defines two types of ethernet connections, point-to-point and multipoint-to-multipoint. The Metro Ethernet Forum describes metro ethernet as having five main attributes: standardized service, quality of service, service mangagement, reliability, and scalability. Some of the top market sectors that can utilized metro ethernet are healthcare, finance, education, government, and media. Principal applications for a metro ethernet connection are site-to-site access, server consolidation, business continuity, disaster recovery, internet access, and converged networking.br>

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.








 T1 Internet - Life in the Fast Lane

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jul 4, 2009

Ever used a t1 internet connection? Upgrading to this level of service is like going from an old used car to a new sports car. You'll feel the speed immediately! While both T1 and DSL connections claim to have a speed of 1.5Mbps, the former actually delivers it's claim. DSL and cable connections are severely oversubscribed and cannot always deliver the bandwidht they project expecially at peak hours. Ready to feel the difference? You may have already if your office has critical applications that use the web. If your office hosts e-mail, webservers or more than 20 people on internet access you most likely already have a dedicated T1 connection. If not, get one fast!!

A T1 internet connection is ideal because of it's reliability. Not only is it not oversubscribed, it also has low latency which mean fewer delays. Latency becomes critical in applications like video on demand, web conferencing, and gaming. While the latter may not seem so important, gamers require some of the best internet connections and are a good source for information on the top internet products available.

If you're ready to move into the fast lane or to put your office on a reliable connection that you should have anyway, get some advise from a broker that deals in T1 services. Brokers don't mark up the price of services. They offer the same price you would get if you did go direct to the company. The advantage of ordering through a broker is that you will get a second channel of customer service. If the company is not performing to expectation you will always be able to go back to your broker who puts a significant volume through the carrier. A broker is much more likely to get the companies attention and have your problem solved. In our opinion, a broker is the only way to go!
