Intellifiber Networks Launches Ethernet Over Copper Across Its Network

Intellifiber Networks, a provider of telecommunications services throughout the United States, announced the launch of Ethernet over Copper capability throughout its network.

 

EoC allows Intellifiber to leverage existing copper infrastructure to cost-effectively deliver midband Ethernet access directly to customers without having to match demand to legacy circuit sizes, officials said.

 

According to Clint Heiden, president of Intellifiber Networks, though Ethernet services have been a rapidly growing market segment, widespread adoption has been limited by the lack of Ethernet first-mile access.

 

“The dense Intellifiber footprint uniquely positions us to deliver cost-effective Ethernet services to businesses at the edge of the network,” Heiden added.

 

With more than 400 central offices directly connected to its fiber network, Intellifiber now provides EoC coverage in markets from Norfolk to Philadelphia to Cleveland, officials said.

 

Intellifiber’s Ethernet Network-to-Network Interface allows customers with multiple locations or a variety of end users to leverage a single interconnect to deliver Ethernet services over any Intellifiber access circuit such as EoC, Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), or fiber. Wholesale customers can also establish one or more Ethernet NNIs with Intellifiber to drive down access charges region by region.

 

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Cavalier Telephone (News - Alert), Intellifiber Networks interconnects with major data, carrier and hosting facilities in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.

 

The company also provides a range of services into a variety of centers in markets like Norfolk, Richmond, Wilmington, Syracuse, Buffalo and Columbus, offering multiple Ethernet NNI location options.
