Carriers will benefit from flexible, reliable Ethernet and
Frontier’s nationwide networks
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: FTR) today announced the
deployment of Wholesale Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) Silver
service. EVPL Silver offers point-to-point digital connectivity with
standard Ethernet interfaces of 10/100/1000 Mbps and scalable throughput
of 1Mbps through a full Gigabit. Frontier’s Wholesale Channel offers
EVPL Silver in 23 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico,
Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
“Wholesale clients want product offerings with standardized pricing,
availability maps, and specific ordering and implementation criteria
similar to tariffed offerings, but with more flexibility within a
contract,” said Stephen LeVan, Senior Vice President, Commercial Sales.
“Ethernet is the preferred method for data transport and we are
delivering what carrier customers want and need: a cost-effective,
viable option to traditional TDM access and legacy Fast Packet
technologies.”
LeVan added that future Wholesale Ethernet releases will include
multipoint-to-multipoint capabilities, Class of Service, Internet
access, regional interconnects, network performance reporting and
service level agreements. He noted, “Our product allows Frontier to
remotely increase a customer’s bandwidth via software, which simplifies
our operations, reduces costs and improves the customer’s experience.
“Frontier is investing heavily in network expansion in all of its
markets,” continued LeVan. “EVPL Silver is part of a comprehensive and
robust wholesale portfolio that will be available over the next 18
months to larger businesses.”
