Enhancements include advanced application-based routing and QoS
capabilities
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:FTR) continues to enhance
its Ethernet portfolio, now offering traffic prioritization based on
user-defined applications. New Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities
significantly improve network efficiencies and availability by
prioritizing critical applications.
Frontier is introducing two new Ethernet offerings for Retail and
Wholesale users. Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) Gold
focuses on businesses needing point-to-point design within Frontier’s
QoS-enabled markets, requiring service level agreements (SLAs)
surrounding bandwidth guarantees, a limited delay in traffic
prioritization and monthly reporting. Frontier’s EVPL Platinum
offers premium point-to-point service for customers with real-time data
delivery requirements and corresponding SLAs.
According to Stephen LeVan, Frontier’s Senior Vice President of
Commercial Sales, “2014 will bring more enhancements to Frontier’s
Ethernet portfolio, beginning with fiber QoS-enabled elements in 480
Frontier exchanges throughout Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia,
Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
“The next enhancement will introduce additional exchanges utilizing our
copper elements, which we believe is a key differentiator in our
Ethernet Virtual Private Line offerings. All three Frontier EVPL
solutions are hybrid in nature and take advantage of our growing fiber
plant while leveraging our existing copper facilities for a footprint
encompassing 6,373 exchanges.”
In addition to adding QoS, SLAs and Reporting, Frontier will expand and
enhance its EVPL offers to include increased interface speeds,
out-of-franchise capabilities, multipoint-to-multipoint configurations,
and services that enable multiple Classes of Service (multi CoS) with
manageability over interconnected provider networks.
