EthernetConnect from Telekom – Optimal site networking

With EthernetConnect, you can securely and easily connect your company and locations independently of the internet – there are two options to choose from: the high-bitrate point-to-point connection or customised networks consisting of virtual connections, which comprise the separate components of connection and Ethernet Virtual Connection (EVC).

Benefits for your business

Resource-efficient hardware usage

In customer-specific networks consisting of virtual connections, multiple EVCs can be switched to each connection. This reduces hardware, space and energy requirements.

Highest performance and maximum flexibility with a network of point-to-point and/or virtual connections

  • High bit rate point-to-point connection

    • The transmission path consists inseparably of connection and link.
    • The fixed unit enables end-to-end redundancy.
    • Very high bandwidths up to 100 GBit/s
    • Internet-free networking via the optical transport network (OTN)

  • Customised networks made up of virtual connections

    • Connections and links (EVCs) are separated.
    • Maximum flexibility thanks to connections and EVCs with bandwidths of up to 10 Gbit/s.
    • 2 EVC types: Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)
    • Internet-free networking via the IP network

The task

The networking of several regional providers via a VPN solution on the Internet slowed down important applications and the exchange of development data due to insufficient bandwidth and high latency times. Networking on a separate, secure platform was therefore intended to replace the old system.

The solution

Site networking with EthernetConnect (EC): Connection of five branch offices to the head office via dedicated EVCs with 1,000 Mbit/s each, as well as redundant connection of the head office to the data centre via two P2P connections with 10 Gbit/s each.

The customer benefit

Data communication now runs via a dedicated, separate and secure data platform from a single source – with higher bandwidths and minimal latency, enabling significantly shorter application response times. This means that data can be transported, mirrored, centrally stored and backed up more quickly during operation.
