Metromedia Fiber Network announces its new Gigabit Ethernet service, MFN Metro Gig-E, a private, direct fiber-optic Internet access solution. MFN Metro Gig-E offers customers always-available 1000-mb/sec Internet capacity -- making it an optical alternative to copper circuits.
This new service combines MFN's metropolitan fiber optic network with its Internet backbone. MFN's Metro Gig-E solution is designed to seamlessly absorb usage bursts without latency to give customers the capability to meet high-bandwidth demands for mission-critical, content-intensive and streaming media applications. One target audience: customers currently using DS-3s or multiple T-1s.
Leveraging its metropolitan fiber network, MFN uses a pair of dedicated fiber strands to assure transport security for MFN Metro Gig-E customers. These fiber strands connect customers to MFN's optical Internet backbone, creating a private optical solution that eliminates metro-bandwidth bottlenecks, and the additional technology, complexity and cost associated with managing multiple network access providers.
"MFN Metro Gig-E service allows customers to migrate to a high performance optical platform at a very affordable price," said Andrew Schroepfer, president and founder, Tier 1 Research. "This product differentiates itself in the market by connecting customers directly to the MFN IP backbone over private metro fiber providing virtually limitless bursting capabilities."
