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 ethernet allows you to order in 1 Mbps increments. Metro 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.

 Three Factors for Carrier Ethernet

Written by: Tracy Zimmerman - Dec 1, 2008

Carrier ethernet, also known as metro ethernet, has been gaining popularity as a WAN technology. Here are three factors that need to be considered for any business looking into carrier ethernet.

1. Location - You can check to see if your business is already in a fiber-lit building by using our Metro Ethernet location tool. This is dependent on whether a carrier ethernet service provider has already installed fiber optics, the medium of choice for carrier ethernet, to the building. Due to the costs involved, this takes time. The buildings that already have this type of connection are going to be in metropolitan areas, and the number of fiber-lit buildings will increase, so check back to see any updates in the future.

2. Bandwidth - Carrier ethernet is available in speeds from 10 mbps to 1 gigabit, which is great for businesses with lots of traffic, such as large file sharing, video demands, or data centers. If you think 10 Mbps is too much bandwidth for your business, we can also help you find other alternatives.

3. Price - Although the price per mbps is probably going to be lower utilizing carrier ethernet, the price is still going to be higher. Kind of like going to Costco and buying a 5 gallon bucket of peanut butter. Sure its a better deal than getting the 8 oz. jar, but what are you going to with it all.

The bottom line is no matter what the size of your business, talk about carrier ethernet with a consultant. Our product specialists deal with the telecom carriers every day and are very familiar with the issues that affect all kinds of issues. They will help you to investigate carrier ethernet, and even suggest solutions that might fit your business better.
