EtherLine – is a reliable and economical managed service that provides connectivity between any two sites utilizing a linked SDH backbone network capacity (between 4Mb and 1Gb) to attain the requested throughput. SDH presents safeguard options to guarantee network traffic will redirect promptly and resourcefully should a failure occur. In order to meet particular requirements, Global Crossing allocates a Committed Data Rate, offers aggressive Service Level Agreements, and maintains a broad Metropolitan and National coverage area all through the United Kingdom with more than 100 Points of Presence.

EtherExtend – does exactly that; it literally allows you to expand your Ethernet capabilities and provides flexible, cost-efficient Ethernet access to Internet Protocol based services. Similar to a Local Area Network, Global Crossing’s EtherExtend enables you to effortlessly run Ethernet-based services over Wide Area Networks by connecting to the closest Point of Presence via the Ethernet network of any LEC or one of the Competitive Access Providers with whom Global Crossing has ascertained a Network-to-Network Interconnection agreement.

EtherExtend Flex decreases the price of access and matches the access Level of Service to the application’s needs. For the connections last-mile, EtherExtend Flex employs local access vendors; however, traffic is forwarded by way of a logical connection as a Virtual LAN over a physical NNI as opposed to forwarding traffic over a physical connection to Global Crossing.
