Metro-E or Metro Ethernet is a network that covers a wide cosmopolitan area and is based on the Ethernet standard generally used in building networks or a LAN. Because the network is “clean” Ethernet technology end-to-end, it is less pricey than other technologies like MPLS and can be used to deploy services that run in an Ethernet environment like data, voice and video.
Urbancom.net’s Metro Ethernet solution provides local area network LAN-to-LAN connectivity between two or more locations within a metro area or across the country. Connectivity is accessible from 10/100 Mbps Fast E to 1000 Mbps GigE or 10 Gbps Metro Ethernet. Metro Ethernet solutions are becoming the vehicle design of choice because of it is ability to provide a platform for converged Internet, data, voice, and video. Through our interconnection agreements with major Tier I internet backbone providers we can provide high speed fiber connections across the world.
For customers in the South Suburbs of Chicago we can provide 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps internet connectivity or local point to point fiber optic connections. In 2023 we will be able to offer 100 Gbps fiber optic connections as the buildout and expansion of the Chicago Southland Fiber Network continues.
