Private Ethernet Lines
Securely interconnect LAN networks across different locations with direct fiber lines
What are Private Ethernet Lines?
Private Ethernet Lines integrate LAN networks of your offices and branches across different locations using a high-speed fiber network that operates independently of the Internet. This allows servers, computers and other devices from different locations to establish long-distance direct connections with guaranteed bandwidth. You can connect two locations using a single line or multiple locations to create a network. Multiple technologies are supported, such as Ethernet Private Line, Ethernet Virtual Private Line, Ethernet Private LAN, Ethernet Virtual Private LAN, Ethernet over MPLS and Ethernet over SDH/SONET.

Advantages of Interspace Private Ethernet Solutions
- Guaranteed bandwidth and very low latency between long-distance locations, which is very important for real time applications.
- Private communication because packets travel outside the Internet.
- Easy to maintain and migrate since no public IP addresses are involved.
- Lines terminate at Ethernet interfaces, enabling easy integration with your switching and routing devices.
- Ethernet as underlying protocol, allowing you to run your own network technologies on top of it, like VPN and custom QoS policies.
Interspace operates its own fiber optic network in Macedonia, spanning around 1500 kilometers. The network includes fiber routes to nearly all cities and border crossings in Macedonia. Within cities, we have the most extensive presence in Skopje, covering all districts. On a regional level, Interspace operates a network with a total length of around 2000 km, en route Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Kosovo. Through this network, we connect directly to global providers at their nearest point in the region. The connections are redundant and include multiple geo-independent super-fast DWDM lines, ensuring the lowest latency and highest quality traffic flow. The core of the network features terabit capacity for switching and throughput. Every user-side port has dedicated throughput capacity, as each L2/L3 device in our network provides line-rate non-blocking forwarding capability, enabling maximum bandwidth for all frame sizes on all ports simultaneously.For our cloud and online video platform, Interspace operates an IT infrastructure in various locations across Europe (Germany, Netherlands, France, United Kingdom, Austria, Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece), North America (USA, Canada) and Asia/Oceania (Australia, Japan, Singapore).

Interspace's fiber network is designed according to all relevant ISO standards and constructed by following strict procedures, ensuring compliance with the highest quality requirements. We hold the highest accreditation for network infrastructure design, the A-grade license, attesting to our capability to design high-grade fiber optic networks.We have our own teams and equipment for the entire process of constructing, operating and maintaining the network. We employ fusion splicing instead of mechanical splicing of the fibers, ensuring long-term durability and reliability. The link quality is verified by extensive OTDR, RFC 2544 and ITU Y.1564 measurements to guarantee the best transmission quality.We conduct continuous 24/7 proactive monitoring on every segment of the infrastructure. At the root level, we reserve two fibers in each cable for measuring the general cable condition. We monitor multiple components, such as power supplies, temperature, and traffic, in every network device, including constant verification of optical power levels at each end-point interface. This allows us to act quickly and flawlessly, ensuring the guaranteed SLA and connection uptime.
Interspace operates in accordance with the highest standards and adheres to strict procedures, regularly validated through certifications as detailed below:

Technologies for Private Ethernet Lines
Multiple technologies are available for Private Ethernet Lines services, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. These services leverage different implementations to meet specific business needs, providing secure, high-performance connectivity. The following sections explore various types of Private Ethernet Lines, including Ethernet Private Line, Ethernet Virtual Private Line, Ethernet Private LAN, Ethernet Virtual Private LAN, Ethernet over MPLS, and Ethernet over SDH/SONET.Ethernet Private Line (EPL)
Ethernet Private Line (EPL) is a point-to-point Ethernet service that provides a dedicated, high-bandwidth connection between two locations. It operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model, offering transparent, untagged transport of Ethernet frames. EPL is ideal for businesses needing reliable, low-latency connectivity for critical applications such as data replication, real-time communications, and secure enterprise networking.Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)
Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) is a point-to-point Ethernet service similar to EPL but with more flexibility. Unlike EPL, which provides a dedicated connection, EVPL uses VLAN tagging to allow multiple virtual connections over a single physical link. This makes EVPL suitable for businesses that need to connect multiple locations cost-effectively while maintaining traffic separation and quality of service.Ethernet Private LAN (EP-LAN)
Ethernet Private LAN (EP-LAN) is a multipoint-to-multipoint service that connects multiple locations within a metropolitan area network (MAN) as if they were on the same local area network (LAN). EP-LAN provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity, making it ideal for applications requiring extensive inter-site communication, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, large-scale collaboration, and unified communications.Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVP-LAN)
Ethernet Virtual Private LAN (EVP-LAN) offers the same multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity as EP-LAN but with added flexibility through VLAN tagging. EVP-LAN allows businesses to segment their network traffic by department or application while sharing the same physical infrastructure. This service is perfect for organizations needing scalable, secure connectivity for multiple business units or applications.Ethernet over MPLS
Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) uses Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology to transport Ethernet frames across wide-area networks (WANs). EoMPLS provides high-performance, scalable, and reliable connectivity with advanced traffic engineering capabilities. This service is ideal for businesses requiring seamless integration of their Ethernet networks over geographically dispersed locations, supporting various applications such as VoIP, video conferencing, and cloud computing.Ethernet over SDH/SONET
Ethernet over SDH/SONET is a method of transmitting Ethernet frames over Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) infrastructure. This service leverages the reliability of SDH/SONET networks, offering high availability and predictable quality. Ethernet over SDH/SONET is suitable for businesses that need to extend their Ethernet services over long distances with stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements, such as financial institutions and service providers.Featured Clients
