EFM - Ethernet in the first mile

EFM, A Blistering Fast leased line alternative!

Carried over copper pairs EFM or "ethernet in the first mile" is a robust and viable leased line or SDSL replacement. Moreover EFM is highly resilient and therefore well suited for mission critical applications such as IP telephony. The inherant design (pairs of copper wire) allows transmission even if one pair should fail as the second, third or fourth pair will maintain the connection.

Businesses that are currently outgrowing their current broadband connections will benefit from a low cost alternative to Ethernet or ISDN. With over 80% of business premises in the UK served, it is highly likely that your business could be making considerable savings over the alternatives.

You can select speeds of upto 10Mbps over 2 copper pairs or 20Mpbs on 4 copper pairs, with a minimum symmetrical speed guarantee of 2Mbps (speeds of 5Mbps and 10Mbps are typical).

Higher performance for critical apps

Businesses have become more reliant on their data connections and network performance to deliver business critical applications such as voice, video-conferencing and cloud services. EFM is an ideal upgrade from broadband and inflexible legacy services. End-users can enjoy business-grade service with greater speeds, symmetrical service, guaranteed bandwidth and higher resilience.

Future-proof Technology

Delivered over our Next Generation Network, EFM offers future-proof data connectivity for your business. It offers greater flexibility, scalability, compatibility and performance than legacy technologies such as SDSL and leased lines which is easy and straightforward to adopt.

Ethernet level performance

With EFM, your business can gain access to a super-resilient, higher bandwidth and uncontended service that terminates directly at your premises. Plus, since EFM is usually better value than older 2-10Mbps services, at a price you can afford, there is no need to jump to Ethernet connectivity or stay with lower performing broadband. EFM also comes with the levels of service commonly only known with large data connectivity services such as Ethernet.

Retail, hospitality and national reach

EFM can deliver speeds of up to 20Mbps as far as 4km from the exchange, so our natural home is the high street. With the reliability and built-in failsafes that multiple pairs of lines brings, EFM is an ideal solution for satellite and branch offices that need resilient connections for POS, centralised sales systems and always on access to online customer service tools.
