Metro Optical Ethernet Service Overview
Metro Optical Ethernet, also known as MOE, combine the power of Ethernet and optical technologies across metropolitan area networks (MANs). Metro Optical Ethernet networks offer increased speed, scalability, security and reliability at a lower price per megabit than other transport services. Select from bandwidth ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps and higher.
With Metro Optical Ethernet, you can access Local Area Network (LAN)-to-LAN connectivity between locations within a metropolitan area. Metro Optical Ethernet service is delivered using native Ethernet protocol which results in greater reliability and Class of Service (CoS). Metro Optical Ethernet is suitable for a number of different applications including both voice and data. Common data applications for Metro Optical Ethernet service include the following: data file transfers, Internet access, off-site data storage, outsource mail and file server service and outsource application services.
Metro Optical Ethernet networks can be designed utilizing a star network or meshed network topology with individual routers and switches interconnected through cable or fiber optics. View the following Metro Optical Ethernet diagram for a visual representation of a Metro Optical Ethernet network.
