**Next Generation Ethernet Connectivity**

It is a new way of delivering bandwidths of up to 20Mb/s. It uses fibre to cabinet and fibre to the premises to deliver leased lines to business with a much faster lead time.

 

![Leased_line_cable](https://info.jola.co.uk/hs-fs/hub/428629/file-1711131291.png?width=132&name=file-1711131291.png "Leased_line_cable")**The key benefits are:**

- High-speed, dedicated Internet access – the service is 100% yours and runs at a constant speed all the time. All broadband, even fibre, is shared. You can never be sure how much bandwidth is available to you.
- It is symmetrical which means that you get the same speeds on upload as you do on download. All broadband has a much slower speed up, than down.
- It comes with a business Service Level Agreement which means that if it goes down you get a guaranteed fix time, unlike broadband which is best efforts.
- It is delivered in under 30 days, unlike a traditional leased line where delivery times are much longer and installation delays are commonplace.

**What is Cloud Hosted Telephony?**

It replaces your phone system and ISDN lines with a new system hosted in the network. Handsets that can be plugged into any Ethernet socket and act as if it was still on your desk, taking, receiving and forwarding calls.

**The key benefits are:**

- You only pay for the extensions you need. There are no set-up charges and you can add and remove extensions depending on your requirements. There are no software upgrade costs and if you need to move offices there is no box to re-install at the new location. Just pick up your handsets and plug them in at the new site.
- You get free calls to UK landline and UK mobiles, which could dramatically reduce your phone bill.
- You can add handsets anywhere which can still be part of the phone system, which is handy for home workers, multiple offices and moving offices, as you don't have to change your number.
