SPTel Metro Ethernet is a dedicated Layer 2 network which provides high performance connectivity between multiple locations across a metropolitan area using Ethernet as a standard. It is designed to support Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint and Any-to-Any network design for enterprises that require ultra-performance, alongside providing secure and reliable Ethernet connectivity to run mission critical applications. Metro Ethernet allows businesses to:
- Connect offices or data centres
- Access public or private cloud data centres
With the surge in network traffic growth stemming from the increasing use of Internet, video conferencing, IP networking, cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT), it has boosted the popularity of Ethernet services for businesses because it is cost effective and scalable.
Metro Ethernet can support a wide range of speeds ranging from 10Mbps to 10Gbps. This allows customers to subscribe to a specific speed or increase their bandwidth with minimal interruptions, with an option to pay only for what they utilise. Customers can also scale their network efficiently between hub and spoke sites on demand.
Recommended for
Government Services
That handle highly sensitive information for the public. The infrastructure hosting or carrying these services needs to be dedicated and secured to ensure there is no compromise from data breaches.
Large Enterprises/MNC
Who need a cost-effective solution that allows them to scale as required so they only need to plan for business-as-usual network capacity.
Global Service Providers
That require a reliable local loop provider to connect their Singapore point of presence to their customer sites via a simple digital process that comes with real-time monitoring.
Benefits
Flexibility
Manage network cost with monthly billing based on bandwidth usage and time-based usage. This flexible bandwidth commitment means customers do not need to pay fixed rates for their maximum required capacity. They can instead plan for their day-to-day needs and scale up only when required.
Full control
Prioritise network traffic easily by managing Classes of Service of your choice to suit your business needs.
