EFM

EFM or Ethernet First Mile fills the gap between ADSL/SDSL and dedicated lease lines, both in price and specification. This new product is quick to deploy and does not require any additional hardware, it simply plugs directly into your existing firewall (or equivalent). EFM is built on a proven and robust network structure using multiple copper pairs to deliver a high capacity Ethernet service as an ideal upgrade from SDSL or Leased Line services. This is a superior technology delivered using less copper pairs than competitors without compromising on speed. In fact, we can provide symmetrical speeds of 2Mbps, going up to 10Mbps over 2 copper pairs and 20Mbps on 4 copper pairs.

Also known as next generation Ethernet, EFM comes with excellent service level guaranties ensuring you get the dedicated bandwidth you require. Delivering EFM over two or four copper pairs, gives you the choice of a more resilient option. This provides business continuity in the unlikely event of a disaster. Should one pair fail, your connectivity service will continue on the other pair, ensuring that service is never lost.

EFM is an ideal halfway house if you require more bandwidth but not quite as much as Next Generation Ethernet (up to 1Gbps), so you only pay for what you need.
