ITC DeltaCom, a provider of integrated communications services to customers in the southeastern US, has announced the availability of Ethernet Access (E-Access) as an additional access option for its Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) service. Deltacom combines native ethernet and equipment-based ethernet access options to provide service coverage across its Southeastern network.

According to Deltacom, the new MPLS service is a multi-site data connectivity service that provides Quality of Service (QoS) options, utilising its private internet protocol (IP) network, to support a range of business voice, data and video applications. E-Access to its MPLS service is offered in bandwidth increments ranging from 2Mbps to 1Gbps.

The native ethernet access to MPLS service is currently available in fifteen markets, and the company also plans to continue service expansion across its footprint. Equipment-based ethernet access is available across all of the company’s markets.

Tony Tomae, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Deltacom, said: Expanding our MPLS portfolio to include E-Access allows Deltacom to better serve our customers that need an ethernet interface. E-Access also provides greater bandwidth flexibility and higher speed solutions, enabling our business customers to efficiently converge even the most mission-critical applications over a single MPLS network, such as video conferencing, voice and data backup.
