Ethernet Private Line Service
With sophisticated networks and growing bandwidth needs, you need a trusted network provider, not just a vendor. This allows a comprehensive, scalable, end-to-end solution that meets your specific connectivity issues, timelines, and demands for growth. Our solutions are designed to meet your transport, resale, or carrier infrastructure requirements, leveraging the power and flexibility you’ve come to expect.
The Ethernet Private Line solution is an Ethernet over SONET (EoS) service that combines the privacy, security, diversity and dedicated bandwidth of private line service with the simplicity and affordability of an Ethernet interface. Backed by 24 x 7 network management and monitoring, our physically diverse, fully protected intercity services use the facilities-based network to provide exceptional service and network reliability end-to-end. Unlike shared infrastructure services, our Ethernet Private Line solution has dedicated point-to-point connectivity, while preserving high performance and throughput using a ring design for your mission-critical or latency-sensitive applications. This fully redundant metro and intercity SONET-based network delivers a large service footprint and network availability.
Extensive network reach Our expansive metro footprint, combined with our long-haul reach, enables you to extend your network regionally and locally using a single provider. Level 3 currently has over 7,600 aggregation points and on-net buildings across North America and Europe and over 48,000 long-haul route miles and over 26,000 Metro route miles. Our continuously growing network interconnections include key high-bandwidth sites, Central Offices, major peering and traffic exchange sites, and cable landing and teleport sites, as well as locations for cable, wireless, federal, voice and Internet service providers.
Value and reliability Our Ethernet Private Line solution will allow you to reduce your need for expensive legacy SONET and TDM interfaces, while keeping the inherent self-healing and secure protection mechanisms of the technology through a fully protected, fiber-optic infrastructure. Essentially, both our Metro and Intercity Ethernet Private Line offerings can help you reduce capital cost while you continue to see the quality and inherent protection you have come to expect without sacrificing exceptional service and network reliability.
Scaling your business with power and agility With the Ethernet Private Line solution, you can purchase the appropriate amount of required capacity from 3 Mbps to 1000 Mbps for Metro Ethernet Private Line service and from 50 Mbps to 1000 Mbps for Intercity Ethernet Private Line service. The Level 3 solution treats all connected local area networks (LANs), metro area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs) as one large network, whether across a city or multiple metropolitan market locations.
