Network expansion increases Ethernet availability

A nationwide Ethernet service expansion has been announced by Global Capacity, further strengthening its standing as an Ethernet over Copper (EoC) solutions provider in the US.

Global Capacity’s investment in Central Office (CO) facility equipment enables it to leverage the existing copper infrastructure to deliver from 1-100Mbps access directly to customers, satisfying the growing demand for hybrid and SD-WAN network solutions.

Jack Lodge, President, Global Capacity commented: “As demand for our Ethernet offerings continues to soar, Global Capacity recognizes the need to respond quickly to businesses to provide scalable solutions that can meet demand as they grow.”

Lodge added: “Global Capacity will continue to expand Ethernet coverage in 2017 to address the need to connect to high-value destinations, including private and public Cloud, business applications, internet and data centers.”

With this expansion, Global Capacity increases the density of its Ethernet services footprint, making the following services available to an additional 302,188 new commercial addresses in 264 cities across 36 metro markets in 20 states:

• Ethernet over Copper (EoC): Offers symmetric speeds ranging from 1-100Mbps to over 2.2 million business addresses. Global Capacity Ethernet over Copper affords businesses with access to high-bandwidth, resilient and cost-efficient service.  EoC gives businesses that are in buildings without fiber connectivity a strong, high-speed option. Service is based on location availability.
• Asymmetric Ethernet (AsyE): Offers asymmetric speed up to 50/10Mbps. Global Capacity Asymmetric Ethernet fills the gap for businesses where other broadband services fall short.  It offers COS business-class up-time guarantees and MPLS and Voice application support.  Service is based on location availability.

Network, Cloud, Application, and Over-the-Top (OTT) service providers can establish Ethernet Network-to-Network Interface (ENNI) with Global Capacity’s One Marketplace to drive down access charges and reach more than 9.8 million business locations.  Global Capacity has further simplified the purchase of its access services by reducing 1Gbps ENNI port charges to zero dollars for all new interconnections.
