Why choose Colt-grade EthernetWhy choose Colt-grade Ethernet

To succeed in business using the right technology to help lower both costs and overheads is key. And now Colt-grade Ethernet goes further than ever to help you achieve your objectives.

The introduction of Colt MSP means that you can further exploit the advantages of our Colt-grade Ethernet services.

Colt MSP offers:

  • Higher performance - less latency, lower jitter and dedicated bandwidth mean better performing applications
  • Better resilience - Colt MSP offers dual homing as standard, with access rings starting and terminating on two physically separate pieces of equipment
  • More flexibility - you can now scale up from 2Mbps to 1Gbps using the same equipment - no need for our engineers to change equipment when bandwidth requirements increase
  • Predictability - you continue to benefit from uncontended, fixed, predefined data paths meaning predictable performance
  • Less space, less power - the Colt MSP box takes up less space and uses less power than legacy technologies
  • Future-proofing - as this is next generation technology, you will have a network that can carry you far into the future
  • Wide reach - Colt MSP is now available in all Colt countries and beyond.

In addition, Colt-grade Ethernet offers many added benefits:

  • Cost-effective, simplified network management - network management is simplified which means your costs go down. Equipment is also cheaper creating further savings. Plus, bandwidth is available in incremental steps so you only pay for what you need. And you have the flexibility to upgrade your network simply, quickly and cost effectively.
  • A flexible solution - Colt-grade Ethernet 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 that those services extend to the USA, and now to Central and Eastern Europe, you can increase your return on investment in Ethernet many times over.

Colt-grade Ethernet benefits at a glance

Low latency

Colt-grade Ethernet offers low latency as standard. And as both worker and protect paths have similar latencies, your applications continue to work optimally even in the unlikely event of a fault.

Fixed routing

Colt's delivers fixed, uncontended routing for customers providing consistent, predictable performance. And with Colt MSP, the Ethernet transport network is also kept separate from the IP core.

Service levels

Colt monitors circuits end to end and have a dedicated team delivering world class service.

Topologies

Choose from point-to-point, hub and spoke and Ethernet Private Network (E-PN).

Enhanced resilience

Colt's Ethernet infrastructure is protected and enhanced resilience options are available.

Future-proof

Colt's next generation networks can deliver multiple services over a single secure connection. This allows faster deployment and simpler upgrades so your network can change with your business.
