Ethernet services

TransACT Ethernet solutions are tailored specifically to your business requirements and are cost effective, easy to implement and easy to maintain.

TransACT point-to-point services

TransACT point-to-point Ethernet services allow organisations to connect two or more sites together over a secure, dedicated network. This allows businesses to extend their network (WAN) across multiple locations with secure, fast and reliable data transfer.

Ethernet is now the connectivity service of choice for corporate and public sector organisations that need high performance, flexibility and value for money.

Services are available in a range of speeds depending on your location and access technology.

Our extensive optical fibre deployment in Canberra and modern MPLS network can deliver your business a full featured, high-performing e-LAN service in the ACT. We also offer extended coverage in regional Victorian centres Geelong, Ballarat and Mildura, and nationally through partner networks.

Reliable, high performing services that support multiple traffic types

We offer Service Level Agreements that ensure high performance and availability.  We also support network access speeds of up to 10 Gbps and variable types of traffic including voice, video and data.
