OVERVIEW
High-Speed. High-Bandwidth.
Global Crossing Wavelength Service is an unprotected, bi-directional, point-to-point circuit at speeds of 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps. Wavelength Service is a SONET/SDH framed signal and is fully compliant with ITU-T and Telcordia standards.
Global Crossing EtherWavesm Service provides Ethernet point-to-point connectivity over a fiber-optic network using DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) at 10 Gigabits per second. Performance and error reporting match that of traditional SONET/SDH interfaces while costs, using LAN PHY, may be significantly lower. In addition to potentially dramatic cost savings, most network managers are familiar with Ethernet interfaces in the Local Area Network (LAN) environment and will easily make a smooth transition to supporting EtherWave service in your Wide Area Network (WAN).
Like Global Crossing's standard Wavelength product, EtherWave fills the gap between dark fiber and traditional private line or capacity services. EtherWave enables network providers to provide fully-managed IP and SONET services without having to deploy optronics or manage their own dispersed networks.
EtherWave options include:
- LAN PHY-available on all terrestrial & subsea routes (additional equipment may be required)
- WAN PHY-available on sub-sea routes & terrestrial routes wherever standard Wavelength service is available
