The new Ethernet networking services enable business
customers to transmit telecommunication traffic such as voice, video and data
between their premises. The services share the same infrastructure of the new
Ethernet/IP network of Cyta.
The broad usage of Ethernet technology and the avoidance of intermediate
protocols (SDH/PDH/ATM/FR) make Ethernet services widely available, easy to use
and less expensive than competing services due to lower equipment, service and
operational costs.
The access rates offered to the Ethernet/IP network are symmetrical from 128Kbps to 2Mbps
via copper wire and DSL technology and 100 and 1000Mbps via optical links. The
following Ethernet services, E-Line and EVPN services are offered using the
above access.
In order to assure business continuity and protect Ethernet accesses the
alternative Ethernet accesses are offered to be used in cases of disaster or any
other disruption of one or more main access points. The alternative Ethernet
access is using a completely different Demarcation Device of Cyta and intention
is to apply a completely independent physical connection that terminates to an
alternative node.
