Ethernet To Meet Your Business And Bandwidth Needs
Designed to scale with your evolving bandwidth requirements, Verizon’s Ethernet services deliver access to corporate networks, the Internet, and network-based applications. Our Ethernet solutions utilize a high-speed, fiber-based network to provide high-quality WAN/LAN connectivity between your organization’s locations. You will also be able to prioritize critical segments of IP traffic over less-critical traffic for more efficient data delivery.
Overview
Efficient, Reliable, Scalable Connectivity Between LANs
Verizon Ethernet’s all-fiber network can increase the speed and efficiency for data transmissions; speeds range from 1 Mbps to 1,000 Mbps (GigE). With the ability to prioritize the delivery of information—voice, video, or data transmissions—across locations on your network, Ethernet provides secure, reliable, and timely delivery of your vital data. In addition, the scalability of Verizon Ethernet solutions translates to an efficient and economical way for your business to manage network costs. As your business grows, your bandwidth capabilities can keep pace—just order the
bandwidth you need, when you need it.
With Verizon Ethernet you benefit from:
Scalable solutions and a wide variety of bandwidth options
Segmentation and prioritization of data
Support for hub-and-spoke, partially meshed, or fully meshed configurations
24x7 monitoring
Operational service-level agreements (SLAs)
Is Verizon Ethernet Right For You?
Verizon Ethernet services are an economical way to meet your business needs for data transport, especially if you need to efficiently move large packets of data between locations, while keeping your IT costs within budget. For example, consider a multi-site company that provides creative services for clients in the entertainment industry. The company needs to connect the LANs in all of its locations for efficient transfer of large data packets like multimedia files and high-resolution graphic images. The organization would also like to prioritize delivery of those data packets
over less-critical traffic like web and e-mail data to avoid delays. Verizon Ethernet would be an ideal solution.

Other benefits include:
Prioritization of data transmissions by segmenting vital from nonessential data, assigning differing classes of service (Basic, Priority Data, or Real Time)
Support for multiple network configurations: hub-and-spoke, point-to-point, partially meshed, or fully meshed
