Using Global Crossing Ethersphere and other transport services, Global Crossing has provided core network connectivity from Entanet’s central network nodes to British Telecom wholesale broadband connect aggregation points in London and around the UK.
According to Global Crossing, its Ethersphere provides utility grade service and is ideal as a transport for private enterprise customer IP networks, or as complete fabric for an ISP’s national ethernet services.
Steve Lalonde, chief technical officer of Entanet, said: Global Crossing was extremely cost-competitive, has excellent project management skills and the strength of its network has helped us expand our high-speed broadband and stronger converged voice and data offerings to 99% of the UK population. In addition, we already had a long-standing, successful relationship based on a high-level Service Level Agreement, which gave us complete confidence in Global Crossing’s ability to consistently deliver superior quality network support.
