COLT-grade Ethernet, now available to the USA

COLT Ethernet services have expanded into the USA and we're now ready to do business with New York, Boston, Chicago and Newark. We're delivering the same COLT-grade Ethernet services as we're renowned for throughout Europe. By simply adding applications you can grow your business, enhance performance and increase profits. Here's how:

Lower total cost of ownership

The total cost of ownership that Ethernet achieves can be much less than for other WAN technologies because you don't pay for specialist resources to deploy a range of technologies. You can do it yourself by using the same technology that supports your LAN to create a highly-resilient and flexible WAN infrastructure.

Cost-effective, simplified network management

Network management is simplified which means costs go down. Equipment is also cheaper creating further savings. Plus, bandwidth is available in incremental steps so you only pay for the bandwidth you need. And you have the flexibility to upgrade your network simply, quickly and cost effectively.

A bespoke solution

Ethernet technology allows you to simplify your architecture and tailor it to your needs using a familiar and proven technology that's both resilient and secure.

Market leaders

COLT leads the way in the provision of Ethernet services across Europe. Now those services extend to the USA more customers could increase their return on investment in Ethernet many times over.

Key benefits of COLT-grade EthernetKey benefits of COLT-grade Ethernet

Low latency

COLT has selected transatlantic routes with low latencies. Linked with our European network, the proposition is even stronger.

Diversity

You can avoid New York and/or London, and route via Boston for the fastest route to London. You can also route via Newark to Paris and beyond.

Fixed routing

Worker and protect paths are fixed for customers, giving predictable latency figures. Both paths have a similar latency.

Service levels

COLT monitors circuits end to end and have a dedicated team to deliver world class service.

Topologies

In addition to point-to-point circuits, COLT's Hub and Spoke and E-PN services will be available.

Enhanced resilience

Each transatlantic cable is protected and enhanced resilience options are also available.

This can be provided using Newark and Boston POPs if you want to avoid New York.
