What is Metro Ethernet?
Metro Ethernet connects two of your addresses with a dedicated fiber line, separate from the internet. The connection between the two ends works like a local area network (LAN) in the same building; traffic does not go out to the internet.
For businesses that continuously transfer data between head office and branch, factory and warehouse, or two buildings, it is a more predictable connection than tunnels set up over the internet. The speed is the same at both ends and is set according to your needs.
Highlights
A line dedicated to you
The line carries only your traffic; it is not shared with other users.
Separate from the internet
Data stays between the two ends; your inter-branch traffic is kept separate from internet traffic.
Equal speed
Download and upload speeds are the same at both ends; capacity is set according to your needs.
End devices from us
We install and activate the connection devices at both ends.
Our own fiber network
The route is planned over our fiber network in Esenyurt and Silivri; we carry out a site survey for ends our network does not reach.
24/7 support
We respond to faults within 24 hours and aim to resolve them within 48 hours.
Use cases
Head office and branches
The branch connects to the server, accounting and inventory software at head office as if it were on the same network.
Factory and warehouse
Production, shipping and inventory systems work on a single network.
Camera network
Cameras in different buildings are brought together in a single recording center.
Office and server room
You connect your office to the separate building where your servers are located.
Backup
Regular data backup and disaster recovery between two locations.
Shared phone system
You bring the phones at two locations together on a single PBX.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Metro Ethernet and a VPN over the internet?
A VPN connects branches through an encrypted tunnel over the internet; speed and latency depend on the current state of the internet. With Metro Ethernet, the two ends are connected by a line dedicated to you, and traffic does not go out to the internet.
How many locations can I connect?
Metro Ethernet connects two points; you can connect several branches to head office with separate lines. To bring many locations together in a single private network, MPLS VPN may be more suitable.
Which speeds are possible?
The speed is set according to your needs and is equal at both ends. We finalize the route and capacity in the quote.
Who provides the end devices?
We are responsible for installing and activating the connection devices at both ends.
What if one of my addresses is outside your network?
We carry out an on-site survey and specify in the quote how that end will be reached.
Does Metro Ethernet also provide internet access?
No, Metro Ethernet is a private line between your two locations. For internet access, you can take Business Internet as well.
