National Ethernet

National Ethernet is a relatively new product that like Short Haul Data Services (SHDS) provides LAN speeds between different buildings.  However as the name suggests National Ethernet is not constrained by the maximum 25KM distance between sites rule.

National Ethernet utilises an SHDS circuit from a customer's premises to the nearest point of presence (POP), which is then backhauled across the network to another POP located nearest to the customer's second premises, the POP and building are then connected by another SHDS circuit.

As the price of SHDS circuits are very distance sensitive it becomes vitally important to choose the provider with POP's closest to the customer locations. Unlike SHDS, National Ethernet can work in both a point to point and point to multipoint basis allowing aggregation of bandwidth at the head quarters.

Using three diverse and independent protected circuits from two separate Tier 1 carriers between London and Manchester, and also the protected FibreSpeed network, we can provide a fully redundant LRE (Long Reach Ethernet) service.

This service is ideal to bridge North Wales, Manchester and London locations together over ethernet and can be delivered at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds

Additionally utilising partner networks we can deliver services out of a range of locations throughout the UK.
