Private IP VPN / MPLS network
Point-to-Point Ethernet Services
Ultima's ‘Point-to-Point Ethernet’ services offer premium performance
Ethernet links with interstate and local coverage, suitable for carrier and
corporate requirements.
Choice of SDH or MPLS Switching Technology
‘EoSDH’ is delivered using Nextgen’s synchronous digital
hierarchy network, which provides dedicated bandwidth for
uncompromising quality. ‘Switched Ethernet’ is delivered on our
modern MPLS network, which delivers feature-rich and flexible
services with premium performance.
Voice and Video Latency with a Zero Jitter Option
Both our ‘EoSDH’ and ‘Switched Ethernet’ services are designed
to meet the stringent requirements of high quality video
conferencing and voice applications. Where no packet delay
variation (jitter) can be tolerated, our ‘EoSDH’ network offers
constant low latency with zero packet jitter.
Extensive Protection Options on Core and Access
Nextgen offers a range of protection options to support
your risk management requirements. Our core network has
a fully redundant switching and transmission architecture.
Our access network is unprotected by default, however Nextgen
can tailor solutions to include geographic diversity.
Wide Range of Bandwidths and Access Choices
Bandwidths are available from 2Mb/s to 10Gb/s.
Our ‘Switched Ethernet’ solution is designed to work with
a wide range of third party access providers to ensure that
the best price-performance options are available to any site.
Access options include fibre, DSL and microwave solutions.
Transparent VLAN carriage and Jumbo Frame Support
Customers may wish to enhance their service and traffic
management capabilities by implementing their own network
overlay on our Ethernet services. Transparent VLAN carriage
and Jumbo Frames are supported on both our ‘EoSDH’ and
‘Switched Ethernet’ services to facilitate this application.
Service Multiplexing
Nextgen encourages the multiplexing of multiple ‘Switched
Ethernet’ services onto a single physical interface with the
advantages of reducing customer cable complexity and interface
costs. This multiplexing also works with our multipoint VPLS
and Internet services for even greater benefits.
Ethernet over SDH (EoSDH)
Nextgen’s ‘Ethernet over SDH (EoSDH)’ is a
carrier grade Ethernet service characterised by
minimum latency, zero jitter, rapid protection, alarm
propagation, jumbo frames and transparency to most
protocols. Protection options are configurable up to
and including complete geographic diversity, all within
the Nextgen owned and operated fibre network.
Switched Ethernet
Nextgen’s ‘Switched Ethernet’ is a cost effective,
premium quality, point-to-point service delivered
over Nextgen’s dedicated and protected national
MPLS core network. It is characterised by low
latency and jitter with a wide range of access circuit
options. Also included is the ability to support
multiple services on a single physical interface,
saving customer equipment costs.
Target Applications
Nextgen’s Ethernet services support a wide range
of applications, including:
• Primary and Secondary Network Connectivity
• Voice and Video Conferencing
• Centralised Applications and Thin Client Servers
• Data Centre Interconnect and Backup
