PORTLAND, OR \u2013 (March 05, 2014) \u2013 Integra\u2122, a provider of fiber-based, carrier-grade networking, communications and technology solutions, has upgraded its network throughout its footprint to deliver Carrier Ethernet connectivity over a single, end-to-end architecture. This Ubiquitous Access Ethernet architecture standardizes Ethernet access delivery from the carrier to the customer premises, making all the benefits of Ethernet-powered business networks \u2014 including rapid service deployment, reliable high-bandwidth connectivity to cloud services and multi-point networks, and seamless scalability of bandwidth and performance \u2014 available to Integra customers across its 35-metro, 11-state network.<\/p>\n

Building on the company\u2019s successful investments in Carrier Ethernet infrastructure, Integra\u2019s Ubiquitous Access delivers the full portfolio of Integra\u2019s enterprise-ready Ethernet services, including SIP Trunking, Hosted Voice Services, VPN services, Layer 2 networks, Internet access and business continuity services, via a single common architecture. Complete separation of Internet and private data further increases secure communications and simplifies management of bandwidth in alignment with business requirements. The access architecture has been engineered to eliminate single points of failure, allowing for maximum reliability required of today\u2019s critical applications and data as supported by Integra\u2019s aggressive service level agreements.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the forefront of industry best practices, this puts Integra in a position to deliver Ethernet services with complete consistency across all aspects of network performance, scalability and reliability regardless of underlying access technology,\u201d said Michael Kozlowski, Integra\u2019s vice president of product management. \u201cI trust our customers will see significant strategic advantages not only in service delivery but in the Ethernet-based business applications they rely on us to provide. Converging our architecture from end-to-end is a perfect example of the kind of investment Integra values: one that improves our customers\u2019 experience while enhancing our operational efficiencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Ubiquitous Access, Ethernet services can be delivered throughout Integra\u2019s network with the access method that best suits each customer premises location through a common Ethernet Access Device (EAD) for plug-and-play implementation. Customers with direct access to Integra\u2019s 9,400 route-mile fiber networks will connect via EoF; one of the 460,000 businesses served by Integra\u2019s expanded Ethernet over Copper network will connect via EoC; while legacy T1 customers can migrate to EoTDM or to a partner\u2019s Ethernet NNI; all residing on the same platform architecture. With a standardized network design across all markets, customers will enjoy reduced turn-up times for new services, particularly those with multiple locations on-network or those utilizing multiple Ethernet services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these upgrades, Integra is taking a leadership position in delivering end-to-end Ethernet on a common access platform, and in doing so establishes a unique value proposition for businesses that rely on high-bandwidth, low-latency data services for their WAN infrastructure and cloud and data services,\u201d said Roopashree Honnachari, program manager, business communication services for Frost & Sullivan. \u201cToday\u2019s business customers demand flexible, cost efficient performance without compromise from their networks, and Integra is clearly committed to doing what it takes to meet their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Integra\u2019s end-to-end Ethernet architecture expands on commitments to provide a world-class Carrier Ethernet infrastructure that began in 2011 with a $52 million initial investment. The new architecture is available to current and new customers today.<\/p>\n
