Ethernet in the First Mile

Ethernet in the First Mile

Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) is an alternative to traditional fibre leased lines. EFM is delivered over the existing copper infrastructure, avoiding expensive fibre installation costs. Not only is EFM keenly priced for businesses that outgrow their broadband connections, it's also highly resilient and suitable for business critical applications, it uses multiple bonded copper pairs to deliver an Ethernet service.

EFM is set to grow rapidly as leased lines become affordable to the market for small to medium sized businesses. Companies need bandwidth, whether it's a large organisation looking to replace their leased line or SDSL service without the higher cost of Ethernet or a SME requiring network capacity to grow, EFM is the perfect solution.

Product Features:

  • Efficient use of existing infrastructure. It uses multiple bonded copper pairs to deliver an Ethernet service
  • Resilient connection due to pairs, should one pair fail the service continues on the other pair
  • Choose from 10Mbps connectivity over 2 copper pairs or 20Mbps on 4 copper pairs
  • Symmetrical service
  • 100% dedicated bandwidth. Service performance is not effected by other people using the same exchange
