Integra has expanded its Ethernet over copper (EoC) network footprint by more than 25 percent. The expansion is in existing Integra metro markets in California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Minnesota and Colorado, providing up to 100Mbps of secure Ethernet bandwidth.
The infrastructure has been deployed to an incremental 43 fiber-fed local serving offices (LSOs). The increase brings Integra’s high-bandwidth EoC access to a total of 187 on-network LSOs, reaching more than 460,000 businesses in over 140,000 commercial buildings.
Integra’s network services, available via channel partners, support wide area networks, data center colocation, and managed and hosted services.
“Businesses today are looking for always-on access to dedicated, symmetrical, high-bandwidth services that scale with their needs, at a price point that meets their budget,” said Joseph Harding, Integra’s CMO. “With this investment, Integra now offers greater access to Ethernet services than anyone else in our network footprint. We’re proud to offer Integra’s complete portfolio of Ethernet services and our commitment to superior customer service to more businesses than ever before.”
In addition to data transport, customers of Integra’s EoC networks gain access to the company’s entire portfolio of Ethernet-powered services, including IP/MPLS VPN solutions, hosted voice services, and other managed and cloud services.
Integra’s expanded EoC footprint is among a series of strategic investments the company is making in 2014 to deepen its network reach, including the recent extension of its long-haul fiber network from Salt Lake City to Sacramento.
