Optical Modules

Simply put, business Ethernet or carrier Ethernet is the most common type of connectivity used today, enabling high-bandwidth connectivity for businesses across the country. It comprises a fibre connection that runs from the network directly to your premise. Before understanding why Ethernet is vital for business bandwidth it’s important to know what is Ethernet connectivity.

Ethernet over FTTx delivers high-speed Ethernet connectivity over fiber-optic networks (like FTTH/FTTB). It combines fiber’s bandwidth (1Gbps–10Gbps) with Ethernet’s simplicity, ideal for broadband and enterprise links.

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a shared, ISP-managed virtual network that routes traffic efficiently with QoS for enterprises needing reliable multi-site connectivity. Dark Fibre refers to unused, unlit optical fibres leased by customers who fully control the infrastructure—ideal for ultra-low latency, high-security, or massive bandwidth needs (e.g., data centres, hyperscalers). MPLS offers simplicity, while Dark Fibre provides raw performance.

Ethernet is a standard protocol-based service (like E-Line or E-LAN) delivered over existing ISP networks, offering speeds up to 100Gbps for typical business use. Dark Fibre is physical fibre infrastructure leased by the customer, enabling complete control and scalability (1Tbps+).
