XO Communications Extends Its Ethernet Services Leadership With New Speeds and Expanded Nationwide Coverage
HERNDON, VA, Nov 07, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
XO Communications today announced major enhancements to its Ethernet
services capabilities with the addition of 100 Mbps Ethernet over
copper (EoC) access speeds and an expansion of its nationwide
Ethernet access network to nearly two million business locations.
XO Communications now offers a broader range of high-speed Ethernet
over copper access options up to 100Mbps, supporting even faster
access to the company's portfolio of VoIP, network, security and
cloud-based services. As one of the first service providers to deploy
EoC technology on a nationwide basis, XO Communications has been a
pioneer in providing business and wholesale customers with more
cost-effective alternative Ethernet access options to fiber optic
technology. Ethernet over copper technology enables XO Communications
to utilize the existing last mile copper infrastructure to deliver
Ethernet access from 3 Mbps to now up to 100 Mbps, supporting
significantly more bandwidth for customers at a more economical cost
compared to other access options.
In addition to increasing it Ethernet access speeds, XO
Communications will expand its nationwide EoC coverage before the end
of the year and bring the total number of XO Ethernet-eligible Local
Switching Offices to more than 500 nationwide. With this expansion XO
Communications will be able to reach nearly two million U.S. business
locations. This expanded EoC coverage along with the company's
extensive Ethernet Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) agreements with
dozens of carriers and cable companies gives XO Communications one of
the most extensive Ethernet access networks in the industry.
"Today's announcement, along with our launch of our nationwide 100
Gbps network last month, demonstrates XO Communications' Ethernet
services leadership in terms of the broad range of bandwidth options
we offer and our commitment to making Ethernet more widely
available," said Don MacNeil, chief marketing officer at XO
Communications. "As demand for Ethernet continues to accelerate, XO
Communications is very well positioned to deliver cost effective,
scalable, high-speed Ethernet access options coupled with extensive
nationwide coverage."
