Metro-Ethernet is the use of ethernet technology in metropolitan area networks in order to provide superior bandwidth to office locations outside of primary campus facilities. This allows WCM remote branch offices or clinical practices to access internal resources and Internet at speeds comparable to the Internet on the main campus.
This service is typically recommended for remote sites that are lightly staffed (less than 10 workstations) with low to moderate data transfer needs.
