Ethernet Services
Business ethernet services for swift, secure, and expandable private connections.
End-to-End Ethernet Services
The Backbone of Business Connectivity
In today’s widespread digital transformation, your business needs fast and secure data transfer throughout your wide area network (WAN) that can scale for tomorrow’s exponential data growth. Whether you’re a small to medium size business or a large-scale enterprise with multiple locations, finding a transport provider with a reliable network, dependable customer service, and low latency transport is required to optimally run your business.
With a more scalable, reliable Ethernet Transport network from FiberLight, you can focus on meeting revenue goals and satisfying customers rather than spending time managing a slower, unreliable network.
We are always working with new clients who will require additional network connections into the Carrier-1 facility. FiberLight is at the top of our list to either resell their services or recommend for direct services.

Providing Total End-to-End Ethernet Services
FiberLight’s business Ethernet services provide private data networking capabilities, enabling businesses to securely connect to locations and to efficiently transfer data. These services include:
Ethernet Virtual Private Line
FiberLight’s Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service emerges as a private network solution, establishing a dedicated and efficient point-to-point configuration for customer services. Running exclusively on FiberLight’s 100% fiber-optic network, EPL serves as an efficient solution for various applications, including enterprise WAN connectivity, network operator network extensions, and middle-mile backhaul connectivity for Wireless Internet Service Providers. This service also seamlessly connects customer private or public data centers, providing a dedicated single Ethernet Virtual Connect (EVC) between two User Network Interfaces (UNI) at distinct locations.
A distinguishing feature of EPL lies in its high degree of Layer 2 protocol transparency, ensuring identical frame headers and payloads at the source and destination UNIs. By avoiding public internet connectivity and peering points, FiberLight’s EPL provides a direct, low-latency path, enhancing the performance of end-user applications and overall user experience. This architecture decreases exposure to Internet accessible cybersecurity threats. FiberLight delivers EPL with both optical and RJ-45 UNI terminations, offering bandwidth speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, with customizable solutions reaching up to an impressive 100 Gbps.
Ethernet Private Line
FiberLight’s Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) service stands as a cornerstone in network solutions, offering a versatile and robust platform for businesses. This service caters to various needs, serving as a backbone for enterprise locations and WAN connectivity, extending network operator networks, and providing middle-mile backhaul connectivity for Wireless Internet Service Providers.
Noteworthy is EVPL’s focus on security and performance optimization. By avoiding public internet connectivity and peering points, FiberLight ensures a direct and low-latency path, enhancing end-user applications and overall user experience. Furthermore, the EVPL service contributes to a secure network
architecture, reducing exposure to malicious content and potential cyber-attacks. With optical and RJ-45 UNI terminations, FiberLight’s EVPL service boasts bandwidth speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, accommodating customer solutions up to a remarkable 100 Gbps. Running exclusively on a 100% fiber-optic network, EVPL facilitates point-to-point or hub-and-spoke configurations, seamlessly connecting customers to their facilities and data centers.
Ethernet ENNI
FiberLight’s External Network Network Interface (ENNI) capability is a pivotal wholesale service, seamlessly aggregating multiple point-to-point services to disparate User Network Interfaces (UNIs). This innovative service empowers network operators to extend their Ethernet services and network connectivity across FiberLight’s robust 100% fiber-optic network and Ethernet platform. Configurable at 1 Gig-E, 10 Gig-E, and 100 Gig-E speeds, ENNIs aggregate Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVC) and Operator Virtual Connections (OVC) operating within the 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps speeds. These ENNIs can be efficiently deployed to any data center or network operator Point of Presence (POP), facilitating the delivery of multiple EVPL/EPL services to customers.
Notably, operator POPs and data center locations featuring protected network architecture enhance resiliency and network availability at most locations. The ENNI capability serves as a catalyst for accelerating the delivery of Ethernet services to a crucial customer base, establishing a standard MEF-compliant demarcation between network operators for enhanced service delivery and network performance. This reinforces FiberLight’s commitment to providing advanced, reliable, and scalable solutions in the realm of network connectivity.
