ELAN Service

Boost connectivity with an ELAN service.

For businesses that require multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity, an Ethernet Virtual Private LAN or ELAN service may be the most effective and cost-efficient solution.

In an ELAN service, multiple locations in a business are connected to other locations through copper or fiber optic Ethernet cables. ELAN service enables any-to-any communication among all locations associated with the business’s Ethernet virtual connections. ELAN service is ideal for businesses that want to create transparent wide-area network (WAN) extensions of their local-area network (LAN) architecture.

When choosing a provider for business Ethernet solutions, many of America’s largest companies turn to Ethernet services from Spectrum Enterprise.
