Wavelength service
delivers high speed and reliability,
making it a premier choice for large
data transfers with low latency.
Wavelength operates at the physical
layer (Layer 1) of the OSI model, which
is responsible for transmitting raw data
bits over a communication channel and
defining the electrical, optical, and
physical characteristics of the
transmission medium on Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network. It
does not perform any higher-level
functions like routing or addressing,
which enables Wavelength to provide
excellent end-to-end transparency and
minimises data frame size
limitations.
Ethernet service,
on the other hand, is an excellent
choice for businesses that require
cost-effective and scalable data
transfer solutions. Ethernet service is
referred as data link layer (Layer 2) of
the OSI model, where it is responsible
for framing data packets and providing
error detections. Instead of
transporting on pre-defined routes like
Wavelength, Ethernet service uses Media
Access Control (MAC) addresses to
uniquely identify devices and determine
which device is allowed to transmit
data.
The choice between
Wavelength and Ethernet will depend on
the specific needs and budget of your
organisation. Please consult our experts
to help you choose the right service for
your business.
