Metro Ethernet Networks

Metro Ethernet service is a type of Carrier Ethernet technology used in Metro Area Networks (MANs) by large multi-location corporations, academic institutions and government agencies. Metro Ethernet services can be used to connect to a business to a Local Area Network (LAN), individual end users to a Wide Area Network (WAN) or to the Internet. Metro Ethernet can be used to connect branches, campuses or offices to an Intranet. Metro Ethernet services can be configured as a star network or mesh network. With Metro Ethernet, Customer Equipment (CE) attaches to the Metro Ethernet Network using standard 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet connections.

Metro Ethernet is offered by a wide range of Metro Ethernet providers in large metropolitan areas and across the wide area. Metro Ethernet services are becoming increasingly popular due to the many benefits associated with the service. The benefits of Metro Ethernet services include ease of use, cost-savings and flexibility. Metro Ethernet service is preferred due the fact that it is standard and widely used in nearly all networking equipment and devices. Metro Ethernet service is also highly cost-effective in terms of capital expenses and operating expenses when compared to other network access solutions such as MPLS service with similar bandwidth. Metro Ethernet services offer greater flexibility when it comes to adding and changing bandwidth. With managed Ethernet service, businesses are able to add additional bandwidth within minutes instead of days or weeks.

Global Communications Group, also known as GCG, provides access to all of the major Metro Ethernet service providers nationally and abroad. Select from AT&T Metro Ethernet, Level 3 Metro Ethernet, Qwest Metro Optical Ethernet and more.
