Strencom Ethernet

Ethernet now offers connectivity speeds from 10Mbps to 1Gbps and Strencom believes businesses should upgrade existing Leased Line and ADSL connections to make LAN-to- LAN connections across the wide area. Strencom has invested in a core network to support gigabit Ethernet. With high speed bandwidth under your control at an affordable rate, you can now implement data-intensive applications to make your business run more effectively. For organisations that need large amounts of bandwidth, Strencom Ethernet is exceptionally cost
effective. You can now leverage the investments Strencom has made in network infrastructure and technical personnel. You can also increase the number of users and the number of locations with the flip of a switch and minimal additional costs

IT staff will find Strencom Ethernet easy to support because it’s the same familiar technology as Ethernet LANs. Strencom Ethernet puts an end to slow speeds at peak periods and this means greater productivity.
