What is Gigabit Ethernet? In telecommunications, Gigabit Ethernet (GigE Ethernet, Gig Ethernet) supports data transfer rates of 1 Gigabit (1,000 Megabits) per second as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. Gigabit Ethernet services are an extension of popular Fast Ethernet which includes speeds of 10 and 100 Mbps. In addition to 1 Gigabit Ethernet, there is 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40 Gigabit Ethernet available in select locations. Gigabit Ethernet service is designed for global reach and metro depth and can be utilized through public, private, switched, metro, long haul, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint access.
The benefits associated with Gigabit Ethernet service including the following: cost-effectiveness, high speed access and scalability. Gigabit Ethernet is one of the most cost-effective service based on a price per megabit. GigE service also provides increased reliability with most providers offering Service Level Agreements (SLAs) which guarantee 99.99% uptime and 24x7 customer support. GigE Ethernet service also provides Class of Service (CoS) which allows for the prioritization of applications. Gig Ethernet also simplifies LAN/WAN interconnectivity allowing for lower capital and operating costs. Gigabit Ethernet service is ideal for businesses with bandwidth intensive applications requiring additional bandwidth to avoid network bottlenecks and congestion.
