Ethernet

Ethernet provides high-speed, reliable, and scalable network connectivity for businesses. It enables seamless data transfer between business locations, data centers, and cloud services, ensuring that your business operations are always connected and performing at their best.

Scalability and availability

Delivered using our high availability, highly protected network, Ethernet is available in standard increments from 10Mbps to 10Gbps.

Provisioning

Services are normally provisioned on a standard 10 working day lead time in our point of presence locations and bandwidth can be increased on demand.

Service delivery

Ethernet is presented as a standard copper or single mode optical ethernet interface on our carrier grade network termination unit.
“We stand behind our network which is why we offer a comprehensive SLA with every service we deploy. That’s confidence built on a true carrier grade fault tolerant architecture designed by some of the industry’s leading engineers.”

Engineered to carrier-grade standards

Ethernet can form part of the backbone of your network, offering maximum flexibility to link your locations using our carrier-grade service. In New Zealand, services can be extended out from our point of presences via our own fibre optic network (or third party access) in major New Zealand towns and cities, as well as across the country via our national backhaul network. We also currently maintains international point of presences in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Singapore, San Jose, Palo Alto, Los Angeles and Hong Kong.
