Introduction
International Ethernet Transport extends Carrier Ethernet and IP Transport across borders, oceans, and continents. SolveForce connects enterprises into global carrier backbones and subsea cable systems, linking over 60 million lit buildings worldwide with secure, SLA-backed Ethernet services.
Whether you are interconnecting data centers in North America and Europe, extending WANs across Asia-Pacific, or peering with cloud providers on multiple continents, SolveForce delivers predictable, low-latency Ethernet with national and international reach.
I. Types of International Ethernet Services
🌐 Global Carrier Ethernet
Ethernet services extended over international carrier networks. MEF-compliant with SLAs for throughput, jitter, and latency across borders.
🔗 Point-to-Point International Ethernet
Dedicated Ethernet Private Line (EPL) spanning continents. Transparent, Layer-2 transport with deterministic performance.
🔗 Point-to-Multipoint International Ethernet
Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) across countries and regions. Multiplex multiple VLANs into one international port.
🌍 Any-to-Any (E-LAN International)
Ethernet LAN extension across multiple countries. Functions like a single Layer-2 domain, simplifying global WAN architecture.
II. Subsea & Global Backbone Connectivity
🌊 Subsea Cable Systems
SolveForce partners with major global carriers and subsea providers. Bandwidth is delivered over submarine cables linking continents with redundancy and resilience.
🌐 International PoPs
Global Points of Presence (PoPs) in key hubs:
- North America (New York, Los Angeles, Miami)
- Europe (London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam)
- Asia-Pacific (Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney)
- Middle East & Africa (Dubai, Johannesburg)
- Latin America (São Paulo, Mexico City)
III. International Ethernet Speeds
Ethernet scales seamlessly across the globe, from Fast Ethernet to Terabit-class Ethernet.
| Tier | Symmetrical Speed | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Fast Ethernet | 100 Mbps | Branch offices with basic apps |
| Gigabit Ethernet | 1 Gbps | Global enterprises, UCaaS |
| 10 Gigabit Ethernet | 10 Gbps | Data center interconnects |
| 40 Gigabit Ethernet | 40 Gbps | International research networks |
| 100 Gigabit Ethernet | 100 Gbps | Hyperscale cloud, IX peering |
| 400 Gigabit Ethernet | 400 Gbps | Carrier backbones, subsea aggregation |
| 800 Gigabit Ethernet | 800 Gbps | Global carriers, high-density IX hubs |
| 1 Terabit Ethernet | 1 Tbps | AI/ML clusters, hyperscale DCs, multi-continent financial networks |

Key terms in plain language
Open a term for a concise explanation of language used on this page.
Fiber Internet
Internet delivered through strands of glass using light. Fiber commonly supports high capacity, low latency, and strong upload performance, but availability must be confirmed for the exact address.
Bandwidth
The amount of data a connection can carry in a given time, usually measured in Mbps or Gbps. More bandwidth supports more users, devices, and simultaneous applications.
Latency
The time it takes data to travel between two points. Lower latency improves voice, video meetings, cloud applications, gaming, and other real-time services.
Service-Level Agreement (SLA)
A provider’s written commitment covering service targets such as availability, response time, repair time, and sometimes financial credits when commitments are missed.
Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)
A business-grade Internet connection with capacity dedicated to the customer rather than shared in the same way as typical consumer broadband. It often includes symmetrical speeds and an SLA.
MPLS
Multiprotocol Label Switching, a private-network technology that directs traffic along managed paths. Organizations use it for predictable connectivity between locations.
VPN
A virtual private network creates an encrypted connection across another network, commonly allowing remote users or offices to access private resources securely.
Cloud Computing
Computing resources—such as applications, servers, storage, or databases—delivered from remote infrastructure and scaled as requirements change.
