Can I stay seamlessly connected to locations around the world? The answer is yes. With Global Ethernet connectivity solutions, you have simple and easy access to a resilient EoMPLS network connecting destinations across the globe. Read how global Ethernet can help your organization standardise, simplify and gain control over your network.
Global Ethernet is an industry-standard solution for large multinational companies and enterprises that need to connect their offices across the globe. This solution helps businesses extend their local area networks (LANs) across wide area networks (WANs) in all major countries and cities with point-to-point and point-to-multipoint solutions. The Layer 2 Ethernet point-to-point service is delivered over global carrier-grade Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. The flexible alternative to traditional complex technologies such as ATM or Frame Relay networks, EoMPLS provides low cost and exceptional performance for service providers.
Historically, Ethernet was seen as being suitable for use in its incarnation as the standard local area network (LAN) access method used in an office or home environment. However, the increase in business globalisation and the immediate need to adopt high capacity, IP-based services have driven global optical networks' growth and transformation.
Many businesses are choosing to invest in this global technology, which is being heralded as the future of global networking. These businesses are currently enjoying the enormous benefits and cost-efficiency this technology brings.
Standardised rollout and reduced network cost
The primary benefit that companies experience when deploying a global Ethernet network is the ability to standardise customer premises equipment (CPE) rollout on a lower cost basis, with common equipment worldwide.
Fully capable routers with high-speed interfaces (T1/E1/DS3/OCN) have the ability to work with any WAN connection but are often much more expensive than deploying networks utilising Layer 2 Ethernet switches and interfaces. This is the standard CPE when employing a global Ethernet solution. Global Ethernet network equipment is easier to source, manage and replace, contributing to a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the end-user.
Global SLAs for network performance
Additionally, using a native MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) core design will allow for the provision of global SLAs (service level agreements) for network performance, with the potential to promise 100 percent in-sequence packet delivery for voice and video.
More businesses are now starting out with Ethernet solutions, as opposed to MPLS. This is due to the standardised and less costly CPE rollout and the reduced network costs. Now that EoMPLS has gained widespread acceptance, businesses are ready to make a transition to converged network services – either gradually or rapidly – based on requirements and risk aversion.
More speed and flexibility
Modern global networks provide high-bandwidth, high-speed access to mission-critical data locally, remotely, and in cloud-based environments. With Ethernet’s high bandwidth over fiber, you get a bandwidth of 10 Gbps on a single line. With Ethernet as your technology, you can grow and compete with advanced cloud-computing services. Ethernet’s top credentials are performance on nearly every front—reliability, speed, scalability, and flexibility. Simply put, Ethernet is the technology of the future.
Secure and scalable business communications
Managing the demands of modern apps and the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile requires a strong, secure network that unifies employees, devices, and customers. Ethernet lets you optimize and simplify operations between point-to-point (E-Line services) and any-to-any (E-LAN services) connections.
Furthermore, Ethernet provides dedicated routing and switching that helps expand your network connectivity by delivering high levels of data and application performance across the globe. You can securely connect offices, data centers, and business sites to deliver traffic across a single connection using global Ethernet. Need help getting started? Top service providers like TM WHOLESALE can help you assess your applications’ sensitivity to packet delivery, latency, availability, and time to repair.
Multi-service and end-to-end carrying capability
With the rise of next-generation Ethernet delivery services, global carriers will need to migrate towards these platforms, which are expanding their offerings in new and existing markets. In order to do so, carrier Ethernet products that are able to unify advanced switching and transport capabilities integrated into a single system will be needed.
Furthermore, the Ethernet switching platform's multi-service and end-to-end carrying capability provides support for intelligent generalised multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS). Combined with its compatibility with the provider backbone bridge, IEEE 802.1ah, global Ethernet is a future-proof solution that enables the transition to all-packet networks. This allows businesses to employ global Ethernet and have truly global scalability and reduced TCO.

When you consider embracing global ethernet services, what comes to mind? Is it saving money on staff and hardware costs? Or is it more about access to a global market and the ability to scale as needed? Perhaps there's a little of both. Regardless of why you're considering global ethernet services, you need to do your research first. Here are some things that need to be considered before making the leap.
Between 2019 and last year, the global internet capacity grew by 35%. IoT, Cloud, Mobility, and other high-growth applications are also constantly evolving, making access to information and data more important than ever before. Today’s enterprises require a network that can keep up with the demands of this new digital age. To meet these needs, it is vital for businesses, small or large, to choose a global ethernet service provider that is ready to provide the reliable high-speed connectivity they need wherever their users are located.
Ethernet services powered by a Private Global Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (EoMPLS)/Layer 2 network is a secure and reliable way to connect geographically dispersed locations over the public Internet. It provides organizations with a communication network that is completely dependable, fast, flexible, and cost-effective. Global ethernet can provide scalable and fast transport for data, voice, and video traffic across all major industries: energy, financial services, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and government.
It is evident that ethernet services are one of the most important parts of a business’s network. So when you choose a global ethernet service provider, it's really important to make sure they can provide you with enough bandwidth, high-quality care and support, fast speeds, and fair prices. There are many different things to consider when choosing an ethernet services provider. TM WHOLESALE, a premier communication solutions and services company in the ASEAN region, lists the five key criteria you need to consider.
Network coverage and reach
Network coverage is the lifeblood of any organization. Whether it's a major corporation or a small business, connecting and sharing information with all parts of an organization irrespective of the location is vital for success. This includes employees as well as customers, vendors, and partners. So if you are looking forward to building your enterprise network or want to expand your existing network to meet the demands of your business, check the network coverage offered by the service provider. Do all of your desired locations fall under the network carrier’s footprint, and can they offer international coverage? The reach and coverage of the service provider will directly impact issues such as latency, jitter, resilience, and cost.
Network project management and monitoring
Network engineers and managers face many challenges every day. One of the most daunting of these is managing large networks, especially those with multi-site or international elements. Complex networks require constant maintenance to run smoothly. Proactive management can result in reduced costs and downtimes, as well as enhanced security. Businesses need to understand the details of pricing and the scope of services offered under this category before signing on with a network management company; do they monitor the entire network? Can they provide managed services, freeing up internal IT staff?
Complete Network Security
The pandemic has amplified the cybersecurity fears of Singapore leaders. According to an IBM Institute of Business Value report, 77% of Singapore executives plan to prioritize cybersecurity over the next two years.
All the devices of your business are connected to each other in one way or another, which means they're all vulnerable to security breaches. Whether it's a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or wired computer, network security is an important issue that you must always be aware of in order to keep your data safe. A weak connection can allow hackers in and compromise your sensitive information. Businesses need to review the security capabilities of their global ethernet service providers closely. For example, businesses should ensure that their service provider has access to a dedicated security infrastructure to support and monitor the network. Security experts are necessary for monitoring and maintaining uptime to guarantee that the business’s data remains secure.
Compare SLAs and check references
Another way to evaluate the capabilities of a service provider is to check the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) offered. According to TM WHOLESALE, a well-written SLA sets the expectations right from the onset - what services will be provided and under what circumstances. They also provide a framework for how any problems or issues will be handled and resolved if they arise. Most established providers in the market will offer SLAs. If they have been around long enough to have a proven track record, most providers will be willing to back their services with an SLA. It is worth comparing service level agreements of several network providers to get the best deal. You can also look at their existing clients and check references from those to evaluate their performance.
Class of Service and Quality of Service
Companies must evaluate and understand the classes of service (CoS) offered by the carrier. The way a carrier consolidates and prioritizes various types of traffic will affect quality of service (QoS). It is important that these CoSs match your business requirements, and the contract with the service provider clearly defines and states these service commitments.
While the points mentioned above form a base to shortlist a good global ethernet services provider, other considerations should be made. The routing protocols used by the provider, staff expertise, partnerships with 3rd parties, and future scalability capabilities all must be taken into account when choosing a provider.
It’s easy to make decisions centered only on the bottom line. However, you need to consider your business’s needs and goals and how those needs will change in the future. After all, your global ethernet will form the backbone of your business for a long time to come.
