Affordable and reliable, Ethernet VPN is the ideal multi-site data service for corporate and government organisations
Ethernet VPN is the next generation, adaptive, high-performance layer to service connecting customer sites. It enables customers to connect two or more sites together, and to transmit data between them in a variety of configurations. The strength of Ethernet VPN lies in its flexibility and capability to support wide range of business requirements, all designed to meet a customers' needs.
There are two features to our Ethernet VPN Service
Ethernet VPN Access (which is the physical connectivity to Vodafone Network) and Ethernet Virtual Connections (which defines the connectivity between sites)
