Macquarie Telecom’s Ethernet service is available on our Metro Access Network allowing
business customers the unique opportunity to access Metro Ethernet over the traditional unconditioned
local loop (ULL) network. This means that Ethernet is not only more readily available to locations
that may not have suitable fibre connectivity but it also reduces the cost and time to deploy.
Key Questions about Metro Ethernet
- Want to reduce support costs by standardising on Ethernet for the WAN?
- Need flexible broadband data speeds that can easily scale to meet your changing needs?
- Think you cannot use Metro Ethernet because you do not have ready access to Fibre?
- Want to reduce capital equipment costs?
If your business is considering, or has deployed an IP based data network, you can achieve
significant benefits when using an Ethernet based wide area network (Metro Ethernet) connections
over traditional serial data or DSL connections.
"The familiarity of Ethernet will reduce an organisation’s dependence on specialist networking
skills and allow existing staff or contractors, who primarily work in LAN environments in
metro areas, to provide operational support for the WAN. There is also a broad array of service
tools for Metro Ethernet connections, allowing an organisation to more effectively manage
its network and perform root cause analysis. "
Upgrading a Metro Ethernet connection can be a very simple process. As a customer of Macquarie
Telecom you can put in place the capability to operate your Ethernet service at a high-speed
yet only enable (and pay) for the speed you need. At any point in the future you can quickly
and painlessly amend the operational speed. The only consideration for you, if using the Macquarie
Telecom QoS service, is the changes to your WAN QoS configuration in order to optimise the
financial benefit to your business.
A Macquarie Telecom Metro Ethernet service can run in either routed or bridged mode. When
operating in routed mode this alleviates the need for a business to invest in a wide area
network router. However if you wish to manage your network routing in house, the bridged mode
from Macquarie Telecom allows total network transparency for your router.
