Indigo Launches EFM Service
Indigo Technologies has introduced Ethernet First Mile (EFM), a technology for delivering a high speed, reliable internet connection, to its ever-growing portfolio of IT services.
Unlike traditional leased internet lines, which use fibre to connect to the local exchange, EFM uses bundles of twisted copper cabling known as copper pairs. Benefits to users include faster installation time with lower monthly costs and high resilience.
Sean Thomson, director of Indigo Technologies, said: “By expanding our portfolio of services we are able to offer increased flexibility and speed in broadband solutions to meet our client’s needs. In this ever increasing and demanding information age, EFM provides a highly effective and affordable internet solution allowing the more cost conscious SME to compete on a level playing field with large international organisations.
“EFM is ideal for those who require a higher bandwidth than is achievable on traditional ADSL, without the expense of fibre based leased lines. Surprisingly for speeds of up to 10mbps EFM could save companies up to 65% of the cost of traditional leased lines.”
In contrast from conventional ADSL broadband connections, EFM speeds are symmetrical, delivering matching speeds for uploading and downloading data. If outage does occur, businesses are covered by a service level agreement which guarantees that resolution will be achieved within a six hour window.
With its high upstream bandwidth, EFM is ideal for applications such as Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), virtual private network (VPN) and video.
Sean continues: “Business customers can use EFM with guaranteed business internet connectivity or as part of a virtual private network solution, in many cases replacing leased lines. We therefore expect many SME companies to adopt this solution”.
Founded in 2005, Indigo is a leading information technology specialist and provides a comprehensive range of IT support and server virtualisation services to small, medium and larger businesses throughout the Aberdeen area. Indigo recently scooped the ‘Excellence in Customer Service’ award at the 7th annual Northern Star Business Awards.
