Ethernet Lite (Business DSL)

Give your staff remote access to central office sites

Ethernet Lite (Business DSL) is a business grade network service designed to meet the needs of customers requiring simple, high-speed, scalable and symmetrical bandwidth data services.

You can use Ethernet Lite as an access component to connect to your wide area network (WAN), to the internet, or for interconnecting to your customer’s own networks.

With Ethernite Lite (Business DSL), your business can:

• Support your bandwidth - hungry applications – guaranteed throughput and reliability

• Provide remote access – deliver your service in a variety of ways

• Support your bandwidth - hungry applications
Ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications that require stable throughput and reliability with increased bandwidth options from 128kps up to 10 Mb/s.

Provide remote access
A true business grade service, the service can be used to help build your IP WAN or virtual private network (VPN), providing your staff with remote access to central office sites.  With the new Ethernet over First Mile (EFM) capability, Telstra can deliver Ethernet Lite (BDSL) services at greater bandwidths and over greater distances than before (EFM capability is being rolled to more than 500 of the 1900+ exchanges where Ethernet Lite is available). The service can be delivered in a number of ways, including as a point-to-point service to connect two sites, or in conjunction with Ethernet ATM, Telstra’s frame relay service, Telstra IP WAN or Internet Direct as part of a wide area network (WAN).

Dedicated and reliable data access
Unlike typical internet-grade DSL products where customers share a connection-based platform, Ethernet Lite delivers dedicated End User Access and Individual Service for each of your end-users. The Target Service Availability for Ethernet Lite (BDSL) has also been increased from 99.6% up to 99.8%.

Experience the Telstra difference
Telstra utilises established processes and competencies to support all your business data transfer, internet and connectivity needs.

Telstra can install and manage a network terminating unit (NTU) for each Ethernet Lite service. This NTU supports a 10/100 ethernet port and provides simple and cost effective connectivity into a corporate WAN.

Flexible configurations and speeds

Ethernet Lite can be delivered in a number of ways, including:

• As a ‘point-to-point’ service to connect two sites
• In conjunction with Ethernet ATM
• In conjunction with a Frame Relay service
• In conjunction with IP WAN
• In conjunction with Internet Direct as part of a wide area network (WAN).

Depending on the access speed, a number of different throughput levels – ethernet virtual circuits (EVC’s) with varying committed information rates (CIR) - are also available.
