The most significant benefit of Mid-Band Ethernet Services using Ethernet Service Edge solutions is the ability to readily serve the nearly 90% of business locations not currently served by fiber. A huge incremental revenue opportunity is opened up without huge fiber deployment costs. And as surveys have that Ethernet networks are at least 23% less costly to operate than ATM or TDM networks, the simplicity and consistency of Mid-Band Ethernet Services over 2BASE-TL bring large added savings in operating expenses to complement the capital savings and new revenue.
