Transparent LAN Service* (Ethernet LAN)

TLS, also known as Ethernet LAN, is a high-speed, fiber-based data service primarily suitable for Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) due to distance constraints. It is a connectionless service designed for multiple customer locations within a state.

Benefits:

• Cost-effectiveness—leverages your existing LAN infrastructure
• Connectivity at native Ethernet speeds
• Reduced bottlenecks
• Security
• Reliable transmission
• Transmission prioritization

TLS Ethernet Multipoint Service (EMS)

EMS connects your office and serving wire center via fiber optics. It is a connectionless service designed specifically for customers with multiple office locations within a state and provides any-to-any connectivity at native LAN speeds.

Features

• Configured by connecting customer UNIs with one multipoint-to-multipoint EVC or VLAN
• Ideal for intra-company voice and LAN-to-LAN data applications
• Suitable for metro LAN interconnectivity
• VLAN transparency allows you to control your own VLANs and Layer 2 control protocols

TLS Ethernet Relay Service (ERS)

ERS is connection-oriented Ethernet that uses Ethernet virtual point-to-point connections at native LAN speeds on an all fiber optic connections.

Features

• Can be configured to support multiple EVCs to enable hub and spoke configuration
• Supports a wide variety of EVC bandwidth options so you can incrementally scale bandwidth to meet your growing network requirements
• EVCs are offered in 1 Mbps increments from 1-10 Mbps, 10 Mbps increments from 10-100 Mbps and 100 Mbps increments from 100-1000 Mbps
• Scalability—allows you to purchase and provision only what you need then scale bandwidth as your network requirements grow
• Point-to-point EVCs offer predictable performance for customer applications
• Ideal for converging real-time voice, video and data
• Provides three metro Class of Service (CoS) options—basic, priority data and real-time
