CALGARY – Shaw Business says that it can now deliver up to 100 Mbps symmetrical private data connections to over 300,000 business locations across Western Canada with next generation Ethernet over DOCSIS (EoD) technology.
Customers may now leverage EoD technology to connect their sites and branch locations together with an easy-to-manage, end-to-end private network connection with a single vendor solution that may be paired with Shaw’s fibre-based Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) solution, reads the news release.
Shaw Business’ enhanced EoD solution is integrated into a convenient single-box deployment using Shaw’s DOCSIS 3.1 modem, which allows for easier installation and improved performance over other multi-box options. This new EoD service has been built from the ground up with fully-automated provisioning, which will significantly reduce fulfillment time and allow customers to self-install more easily.
“For two decades Shaw has been a trailblazer for network connectivity across Western Canada, and we know that businesses of all sizes increasingly need faster, scalable and more flexible solutions to fuel their operations,” said said Katherine Emberly, president, business, brand and communications for Shaw, in the release. “Our next generation Ethernet over DOCSIS solution reinforces the power and future potential of Shaw's network technology to give Shaw Business customers the efficient, secure and reliable industry-leading connectivity they need today and in the future.”
Ethernet over DOCSIS is available now with 100 Mbps symmetrical speeds available in most business areas.
