Overview
XO Ethernet services are data networking services that allow you to connect LANs within and between metropolitan areas in a simple, cost-effective way. In contrast to DS1/DS3 private lines, frame relay, or ATM networking, they are:
- Simpler to manage because you can treat all your connected LANs as one large network, even across the country.
- Easier to set up because you only need a standard LAN connection plug.
- Lower in price because you no longer need to purchase expensive dedicated circuits and additional customer-owned transport equipment to connect sites.
Because Ethernet Services are so simple to maintain, you no longer need a large technical support staff to realize the benefits of a broadband LAN interconnection. And they can be provisioned quickly since no local loop connection is required.
