EFM

EFM bridges the connectivity gap between broadband and leased lines, offering an excellent combination of speed and resilience for the cost.

EFM has two key benefits over broadband: EFM is uncontended, meaning you are not vying for bandwidth with other users at peak times; EFM is also symmetrical, so you don’t have a high download speed but low upload speed – it’s equal in both directions.

These benefits would traditionally have only been available with a leased line, but for some the cost of a leased line can be prohibitive. EFM does it at a fraction of the cost and is also faster and cheaper to deploy than a leased line.

Key benefits

• EFM can provide up to 20Mb/s bandwidth.
• Symmetrical bandwidth – no restricted upload speeds, so incoming and outgoing traffic are treated equally.
• Unlike broadband, EFM is an uncontended service; at peak times, and when internet traffic rises, you won’t be competing for bandwidth.
• Rapid deployment – EFM uses the existing copper connections into your building, so it’s quick to deploy and doesn’t require any digging.
• EFM provides a resilient architecture for delivery of Ethernet because the service is typically provided over multiple bonded circuits.
• Peace of mind - if one circuit fails then the others can continue to operate. Each EFM service comes with a 6 hour fix SLA, backed by 24/7 support from Redstone.
