Ethernet Services Over Copper – Greater Reach

• Most customers within service reach (and out of fiber reach)

• Well known technology

• Port base granularity: E1/T1, n*E1/T1, E3/T3

• Higher bandwidth utilizing bonding technologies (MLPPP/VCAT)• Inherent link redundancy

• Infrastructure for Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and Ethernet Private LAN (EPLAN)
