Wavenet UK’s Ethernet-over-Copper: Getting More Bandwidth for Less
1. Wavenet UK’s Ethernet-over-Copper:
Getting More Bandwidth for Less
Ethernet-over-Copper, or EoC, is commercial-grade connection
designed to provide bandwidth without being prohibitively pricey.
Also known as Ethernet in the first mile (or EFM), EoC uses intertwined
copper wires connected to the area where it is supposed to be
used. Many companies consider EoC as a cost-effective option in
terms of linking a local area network, even when compared with the
fibre optic line that telecommunications companies promote today.
Reliable
This kind of connection provides reliable speed for the network’s
units. EoC has redundancy because it is made up of intertwined
copper wires. This means that even if one wire trips or gets cut, the
network will still run. Fibre optic connections, on the other hand, will
stop operating when a wire encounters a problem.
Cost-effective
Surprisingly, copper wires are less costly than fibre optic wiring. This is
because fibre optic would require the telecommunications
company to install brand new cables. The farther the distance is
from the provider’s central office, the pricier fibre optic cables get.
An EoC line, on the other hand, works with existing telephone cables
to establish a network. This ease of installation lowers the cost
significantly.
2. Powerful
Its commercial-grade
quality also comes into
play. Regular DSL
connections are shared and asymmetrical while EoC is dedicated
and symmetrical. What does this all mean? Well, EoC it is nearly as
reliable as T1 connections (the ‘gold’ standard). Even though EoC
providers could max out bandwidth, it is rarely a significant issue. The
relative low cost and reliability of EoC makes up for its limitation. It is
best to ensure your organisation is close to the service provider’s
central office to get the most out of an EoC line.
Wavenet Limited’s Ethernet-over-Copper connections and service
ensures that businesses they supply to continually increase their
productivity. Wavenet has a carrier-grade network and significant
infrastructure which one of the best in the UK. This ensures that with
Wavenet, a reliable provider, customers get cost-effective
connectivity without any real compromise on features or
infrastructure.
