“Ethernet over Copper provides a fast and affordable alternative to T1 infrastructure for applications including cloud computing connectivity.” Mike Sickle, President and Founder of Dynamic Network Advisors stated.

That might just be one of the reasons why users and businesses are switching to Ethernet over Copper or EoC. Due to the cost effectiveness, high bandwidth scalability and flexibility to connecting to the cloud, more and more users have adopted Ethernet services.

According to the International Data Corporation or IDC they say that the U.S. Ethernet revenue alone is looking to increase from $6.2 Billion to $10.1 Billion from now until 2016! Some appeals to the U.S.consumers are data storage replication and disaster recovery and business continuity.

“Ethernet services in the small to mid-sized business market is the fastest growing segment of this market” said Fran Caulfield, director of Research at Insight.

Although the Ethernet over Copper market is expanding, a major drawback previously was availability leaving those using T1 instead. Even though T1 is a viable choice for many businesses and networks, it’s hard to look past the idea of convenience and increasing bandwidth speed with EoC. Both EoC and T1 are designed to carry data traffic and provide internet services, the differences lie primarily in the set-up and speed making EoC an appealing choice for users and making the market grow exponentially.

EoC has become a popular choice in the U.S.for smaller to mid-size companies using connection for:

  • Email
  • SaaS
  • Business Class VoIP
  • Connecting Offices
  • Web Conferencing

The benefits of EoC are linked to the fiber and there will continue to be significant growth and opportunities of using the copper plant to deliver Ethernet services. Some are saying there is no slowing down for Ethernet in the upcoming years, but is definitely something to watch as EoC is increasing and forecasted to increase significantly in the next three years.
