Ethernet Services are now offered by several of Integral Choice's carriers. Some of our service providers have even extended their business Ethernet services beyond metropolitan areas, and now thousands of subscribers are using business Ethernet Services to help grow their business. Yet, those numbers are still growing quite rapidly.

There are several reasons to why people are choosing Ethernet to be their gate into the business internet world. Though, there are three reasons why Ethernet is an easy choice to make: Ease of use, cost effectiveness, and flexibility.

Business Ethernet Services are provided over a standard, widely available and well-understood Ethernet interface. Basically any form of network equipment and hosts connect to the network using Ethernet, so using a business Ethernet service to interconnect such devices simplifies network operations, administration, and management.

Business Ethernet service also can reduce subscribers' capitol expense and operation expense in many different ways. First of all, due to the broad use in most networking products, the Ethernet interface in itself is most of the time quite inexpensive. Second, business Ethernet services can often cost less than competing services due to low equipment, operational, and service costs. Thirdly, many business Ethernet Services allow subscribers to add bandwidth more incrementally, which allows businesses to add more bandwidth as their business grows over time.

As we mentioned before, business Ethernet can be quite flexible as well. Many Ethernet services allow subscribers to network their business in ways that are either more complex or possibly impossible with alternative services. Example: a single business Ethernet service interface can connect multiple enterprise locations for the Intranet VPNs, connect business partners/suppliers, and provide a high speed Internet connection to an Internet Service Provider. With managed business Ethernet Services subscribers are able to add or change bandwidth in minutes instead of days or weeks. Also, these changes do not require you to buy any additional equipment.

Business Ethernet services can support a range of applications far easier, more efficiently, and in a far more cost-effective way that the alternative. Using standard Ethernet interfaces, subscribers can set up secure and private Ethernet Virtual Connections across a Metropolitan area and beyond to connect their sites together and connect to suppliers, business partners, and potential clients over the Internet.

With service options such as Service Multiplexing, subscribers can use a single UNI to support multiple connections. Additionally, with many Ethernet Services subscribers can buy just the bandwidth they need today and not have to worry about adding more if it is needed in the future. They are not locked into a specific amount of bandwidth and will not have to worry about “subscriptions” to a specific Internet speed.

In order to support a wide range of applications and subscriber needs, business Ethernet service come in different types, with different service attributes. Over time, business Ethernet service will undoubtedly evolve to take advantage of advances in Ethernet technology and provide innovative new service features that can help businesses grow and run their businesses more efficiently. It is quite clear that business Ethernet services will continue to offer its subscribers the benefits of simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility that are unmatched for a wide range of applications.
