Solution Meets Increasing Bandwidth Demand, Addresses Disaster Recovery Needs and Enables Organizations to Expand Their Network Reach
HERNDON, VA - May 29, 2008- Nextlink Wireless, Inc., a leading provider of broadband wireless alternative access services, has added Gigabit Ethernet (Gig-E) to its access solutions product portfolio. Nextlink's addition of Gig-E addresses the increasing bandwidth demands of communication carriers and larger enterprises in fiber-deprived areas. The Nextlink Gig-E product can also be utilized to support network diversity requirements.
Utilizing a Gig-E network interface, the new offering supports access speeds up to 800 Mbps. Enterprise customers and communications carriers are now able to integrate Gig-E access into their networks and seamlessly scale up to 800 Mbps as their bandwidth needs grow.
