METRO Ethernet

Alpheus offers Metro Ethernet solutions to address a wide range of Layer 2 networking needs, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and any-to-any WAN connectivity.

The Alpheus Advantage

Ethernet from Alpheus provides carriers with an additional option for transport that is less expensive and faster than the legacy network protocols.  Ethernet is rapidly becoming the transport architecture of choice because of it is a superior platform for the convergence of Internet, data, voice, and video.  Ethernet is ideal for backhaul of mobile voice, data, and multimedia traffic.  Alpheus deployed a core MPLS network that is redundant and carrier-grade, and also developed a “last-mile” tool kit that utilizes Ethernet over copper, Ethernet over NxT1 and NxDS3, and Ethernet over wireless technologies.  Alpheus’ Ethernet product has the power to span metropolitan and regional footprints with highly scalable solutions, removing the bottleneck between the LAN and the WAN.
