Easynet has announced the UK launch
EtherStream, a new service that utilizes Ethernet in the First Mile technology
to deliver speeds of up to 24Mbps over an existing copper-based wide area
network.
Easynet claims that this cost-effective
WAN access significantly increases the availability of broadband networking
access to thousands of businesses without the need to upgrade to a fibre optic
network. In addition, businesses with multiple locations can use EtherStream to
create an MPLS VPN at European level, the company added.
EtherStream will shortly be available at
200 exchanges across the UK
– reaching 60% of all UK
businesses. Easynet has signed EtherStream customers in the Netherlands including Hitachi
and LG, and 11 customers in the UK,
including Ambassador Theatre Group.
