Handover Connection | Products

Product Overview

EonFibre's Handover Connection is a data link that interconnects EonFibre’s network with a Service Provider’s network, commonly referred to as a Network-to-Network Interconnect (NNI).

A Handover Connection is a prerequisite for consuming EonFibre’s packet-switched data access services, such as Business Ethernet Premium (E-BEP) and Ethernet Backhaul. It supports the delivery of multiple access circuits as virtual connections, identified by VLAN IDs.

A Handover Connection contains the following components

A handover port on the EonFibre ethernet aggregation switch
An optical fibred cable between the aggregation switch interface and the OFDF
A Fibre connector on the OFDF

Handover Connection Configuration

The standard configuration options and demarcation points for Handover Connections are shown in Figure 1.

Customers who co-locate at the same Point of Presence (POP) can pick up traffic locally by ordering a cross connect from the Service Provider Co-location rack to the OFDF
Customers who locate at a remote site can pick up traffic remotely by ordering a backhaul linking service (can use third-party linking service).

Features and Benefits

Maximum Scalability

The Handover Connection supports three speed options: 1GigE, 10GigE, and 100GigE, subject to availability. Our experienced team is ready to assist with any migration and expansion requests.

Extensive Fibre Footprint

In addition to EonFibre’s own PoPs, we have established footprints in key Local Fibre Company (LFC) exchanges to meet interconnection requirements. EonFibre can transport your traffic from these exchanges to designated locations.

Built for Diversity

At the PoPs where EonFibre has deployed its modernized networks, Link Aggregation Group (LAG) configurations are available, offering one to four-port LAG options in both active-active and active-standby setups. When combined with last-mile access diversity, it enables end-to-end protection for customers requiring maximum reliability.
