Metro-IP

Unsurpassed performance and cost savings

When business demands instantaneous exchange of mission critical data and real time corporate communication, superior connectivity and bandwidth determine success and failure. However in today’s world, a truly effective access solution must not only open up an enterprise to the outside world, but must also safeguard it as well.

AboveNet teams its tier 1 global IP backbone with its metro fibre to create Metro-IP, a highly secure, dedicated connection to the Internet enabling massively scalable bandwidth at a fixed cost.

Metro-IP is a private Internet connection delivered directly to your premises over a dedicated pair of AboveNet fibres. Enabling bandwidth speeds of between 50Mbps and 1Gbps, this product is available as a fully managed service or alternatively can be provisioned and managed by the customer.

Metro-IP Benefits

Massively Scalable
Fibre to the premises enables businesses previously restricted by legacy telecom networks to deploy state of the art IP connections that scale exponentially and on demand.

Completely Private
Take advantage of the highest levels of security via a truly dedicated pair of AboveNet fibres for your Metro-IP service.

Increased Performance
High capacity bandwidth without the usual latency of office Internet connections or the need to co-locate web and content servers.

Increased Reliability
Dedicated fibre is inherently reliable due to its lack of complexity. With very little to go wrong, its reliability is far greater than the average leased line connection.

Reduced Complexity
Taking IP connectivity across dedicated fibre reduces the number of hops that your IP traffic would normally take to get to the public Internet. Your office to our backbone – One Hop!

Low Cost
AboveNet’s service is priced at a fixed monthly fee dependant on your bandwidth commitment. Gain massive bandwidth capacity for a fraction of cost of IP delivered over SDH.
