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.
The LRE service is delivered between the following locations:
Manchester
London
North Wales
Using our infrastructure, Hosting UK can offer the following Long Reach Ethernet configurations:
* point to point connection with a single VLANs
* point to point connection with QinQ tunnelling
*QinQ is currently only available between Telecity Kilburn House in Manchester and Telehouse North in London.
All Long Reach Ethernet products are backed by our 99.99% SLA with access to our 24x7x365 support services.
Additional Local Loop connectivity can be provided via our Metro Ethernet to the majority of Data Centres in London and Data Centres in Manchester.
