Ethernet Connections & LAN Extensions
LAN Extension and Ethernet over Fibre solutions provide your organization with maximum speed, bandwidth and reliability.
From small companies who transfer large amounts of data, to large corporations supporting hundreds or thousands of employees, many organizations are benefiting from a cost-effective, high-speed link to the Internet that provides an increased level of reliability and the ability to scale with their company.
Ethernet over Fibre technology provides clients with high-speed, high reliability service. The fibre link is a secure, dedicated, "always-on" service ideal for e-commerce applications, streaming multimedia and other latency-sensitive applications such as VoIP (Voice-over-IP). A single fibre connection provides ample bandwidth to your Internet applications for your employees and your customers. Primus' Ethernet over Fibre architecture offers lower cost, increased scalability and reduced provisioning time all without sacrificing reliability or quality of service.
Fibre technology is also a perfect solution to combine with Primus Internet Data Centre (IDC) for off-site storage or disaster recovery.
