ETHERNET

Lumen® Ethernet solutions securely link data centres, clouds, offices, VPNs and LANs with dynamic flexibility and dedicated connections that run on our global adaptive network.

Powerful point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connectivity

Lumen® E-Line Service provides the same security and reliability of a traditional private line service, with dedicated, scalable bandwidth connectivity options that improve flexibility and operational efficiencies for point-to-point (EPL or EVPL) and hub-and-spoke (EVPL) network configurations.

Benefits

Optimised bandwidth

Manage increasing capacity demands without committing to excess bandwidth. Add or remove connections between data centres and cloud providers in real time and automatically flex bandwidth up to 3x on demand.

Strengthened security

Securely access mission-critical cloud applications with built-in threat protection.

Enhanced performance and management

Maximise reliability, cost effectiveness and visibility into your network performance. Get visibility into network performance and use on an end-to-end, site-by-site basis.
