Shaw Introduces 100 Mbps Symmetrical Private Data Connections for Businesses of All Sizes With Ethernet Over DOCSIS
January 21 2019 - 2:00PM
Shaw Business today announced that it can now deliver up to 100
megabits-per-second (Mbps) symmetrical private data connections to
over 300,000 business locations across Western Canada with next
generation Ethernet over DOCSIS (EoD) technology.
Shaw Business customers can now leverage EoD technology to
connect their sites and branch locations together with an
easy-to-manage, end-to-end private network connection. EoD takes
advantage of Shaw’s broadly available network to provide a
compelling single vendor solution that appeals to businesses across
multiple verticals and can be easily paired with Shaw’s robust
fibre-based Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) solution.
“For two decades Shaw has been a trailblazer for network
connectivity across Western Canada, and we know that businesses of
all sizes increasingly need faster, scalable and more flexible
solutions to fuel their operations,” said Katherine Emberly,
President, Business, Brand and Communications, Shaw. “Our next
generation Ethernet over DOCSIS solution reinforces the power and
future potential of Shaw's network technology to give Shaw Business
customers the efficient, secure and reliable industry-leading
connectivity they need today and in the future.”
Shaw Business’ enhanced EoD solution is integrated into a
convenient single-box deployment using Shaw’s DOCSIS 3.1 modem,
which allows for easier installation and superior performance over
other multi-box options. This new EoD service has been built from
the ground up with fully-automated provisioning, which will
significantly reduce fulfillment time and allow customers to
self-install more easily.
By combining Shaw’s broad-reaching DOCSIS architecture with the
power of our fibre infrastructure, Shaw is now able to connect more
businesses to 100 Mbps symmetrical services than ever before, while
offering the fastest broadly-available symmetrical speeds of any
cable provider in North America. Shaw’s existing fibre network is
one of the largest in North America, with over 1.4 million
kilometres of fibre distributed across 11,000 route kilometres
throughout Canada and the U.S.
Ethernet over DOCSIS is available to business customers
beginning today, with 100 Mbps symmetrical speeds available in most
business areas.
