What is MetroEthernet?
A MetroEthernet is a computer network that covers a city sized area (sometimes a whole LATA) using Ethernet protocol. It is typically a layer 2 network that connects devices or Local Area Networks (LANs) together at two or more locations with speeds of 10Mbps to 1Gpbs. Transport is by optical fiber and is usually terminated by a standard copper Ethernet port. To the customer device, the MetroEthernet network looks like an Ethernet switch where other locations are attached.
Why ROARBiT MetroEthernet?
ROARBiT Business MetroEthernet is a cost-effective solution for connecting your business to the Internet and extending your Local and Wide Area Network. This solution uses a reliable copper loop bonding technology to deliver a single symmetrical connection—with upload and download speeds of up to 135 Mbps. ROARBiT also offers economical, asymmetrical Ethernet services which are ideal for business locations that have much more intensive downstream than upstream bandwidth demands. ROARBiT Business MetroEthernet is easy to install and manage because it uses existing infrastructure.
Can ROARBiT Provide VLAN Preservation?
ROARBiT Business MetroEthernet offers other advantages also. It is VLAN capable. So, a single connection can be used for more than one purpose. For instance, the home office might use a MetroEthernet link to connect to five satellite offices. But it might also use the same MetroEthernet leg to connect to the Internet via a dedicated VLAN. Only one MetroEthernet circuit would need to be brought to each location. Contact us for special multi-site network architecture at (844) ROAR-111 or (844) 762-7111.
