XO Communications Expands National Ethernet Services Footprint

Today at the CompTel Spring 2006 Convention & Expo, XO Communications announced a significant expansion in the availability of XO Ethernet Services, using Ethernet over copper technology to extend the reach of its Ethernet services footprint beyond its fiber network to businesses served by last mile copper.

XO Ethernet Services now enable businesses at copper-fed locations to leverage the expanded XO Ethernet footprint in more than 60 metropolitan markets to connect multiple locations or receive high-speed, IP-ready network access for the first time. Businesses with widely dispersed locations served by either fiber or copper facilities will now be able to integrate all of their offices and employees onto a single corporate network and for high-speed Internet access. XO is offering the service directly to businesses and service providers on a wholesale basis.

"The ability to extend the reach of XO Ethernet Services will be a major boost to business customers as they grapple with an ever-expanding world of content and applications across geographically diverse locations," said Charlie Cary, vice president of marketing at XO Communications. "In addition XO Ethernet Services eliminate network bottlenecks and unnecessary costs to improve the operation, management, and performance of their vital communications infrastructure."

XO Ethernet Services enable businesses to connect local area networks within and between metropolitan areas and provide transport for high-speed Internet access at speeds ranging from 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps. Ideally suited for enterprise networks, storage area network providers, application and Internet service providers, this extremely cost-effective transport solution is designed to offer connections at full network speed, removing the network bottlenecks experienced with other forms of network transport. XO Ethernet Services are designed to deliver ample bandwidth and scale to meet future requirements, at very competitive prices. In addition, this transport solution is simple to manage, requiring no configuration management by the customer, allowing customers to focus on managing their own business without having to manage their own network infrastructure at the same time.
