Ethernet First Mile (EFM) Access
EFM services are provisioned to customer premises using multiple pairs of copper circuits. These "bonded" copper circuits provide Ethernet connectivity from 2Mbit to a maximum of 40Mbit.
ADSL & ADSL2+ Access
ADSL provides affordable, VPN connectivity to non-critical customer locations. Bandwidths of up to 2.5Mb upstream and 24Mb downstream can be provisioned with ADSL2+.
National IPVPN Service
ETHER/IP
Vtesse ETHER/IP is a 4th generation IP VPN service that provides a secure, scalable platform for application service delivery across the Enterprise. ETHER/IP leapfrogs legacy MPLS technologies to ensure best in class availability, performance & value. The service offers a very broad range of access options ensuring the best possible fit to customer needs at each site. ETHER/IP features customisable Quality of Service ensuring predictable application performance, a consistent user experience and compatibility with existing services.
Service Overview
ETHER/IP services are provisioned on Vtesse's native Ethernet national network. This modern approach to IP service delivery ensures reliable, flexible, scalable, high performance any to any connectivity between customer premises and staff locations.
Customer benefits of this approach include increased reliability, better performance (lower jitter and latency) and best value.
ETHER/IP features a very flexible approach to Class and Quality of Service. Our standard service template includes 6 Classes of Service, pre-defined for voice, video and several classes of data applications.
Multiple IP VPNs may be configured at each site, facilitating secure "communities of interest", with VPN membership determined by administrators.
Online tools simplify management, reporting, customer service and standard service level monitoring.
ETHER/IP Connectivity
ETHER/IP features a wide range of customer premise access technologies, enabling the best possible match to the price, performance and availability needs of each customer location to be achieved.
ETHER/IP Service may also be securely extended to remote offices, home offices and mobile workers through the Internet.
LAN Extension Service (LES) Access
LES access allows transparent delivery of all Vtesse ETHER/LIGHT service types and QoS classes at speeds from 10Mbit up to 1Gbit per site.
Leased Line Access
Allows 2Mbit (up to 8 via bonding), 34Mbit and 155Mbit service to be delivered to sites that are beyond the range of both LAN Extension and bonded copper (EFM) services.
Direct Fibre Access
For high bandwidth service delivery up to 10Gbit and/or guaranteed diversity, typically to HQ/data centre locations, Direct Fibre Access is provisioned from customer premises to Vtesse PoP with Vtesse managed private Dark Fibre.
Service/Site Speeds
Service speeds to each site will be determined by circuit capacity and network switch port speed settings. Speeds can be upgraded and downgraded, at each port at short notice.
Access Diversity
Protected access may be provided for LES access, Leased Line and Direct Fibre access using multiple customer routers via multiple fibre routes to multiple PoPs. Guaranteed route diversity protects against individual route failure and increases service availability to key locations. Access diversity may also be provided by alternative access services. (EFM backup for LES, for example)
