Both solutions are delivered across our tier-1 internet backbone.

E-Access

Lumen E-Access (Ethernet Access) provides an external network-to-network interface (ENNI) for carrier, application, and data-center service providers, giving you a single point of access into our MEF 2.0 Ethernet footprint. Lumen E-Access is made up of the ENNI, the operator virtual connection (OVC), and the user-network-interface (UNI) or another ENNI owned by the same service provider.

E-Line services are available in EPL (transparent service, point-to-point only) and EVPL variants (point-to-multipoint and point-to-point options).

Ethernet Private Line

Ethernet Private Line (EPL) is a dedicated, point-to-point transport service with Ethernet handoffs available through FastE and GigE interfaces, using Ethernet over SONET (EoS) technology and is available in bandwidth multiples from 50Mbps up to the port limit and can be designed with diversity, latency and custom-routing options. These are provided as protected services as standard in North America and Latin America with both protected and unprotected services available in Europe.
