Terabeam
TeraBeam
Networks offers services that extend the LAN bandwidth of
Fast and Gigabit Ethernet directly to the nation's wide area
networks or across town to other LANs.
The
service provides standards based IP connectivity directly
through a customer premises window using patent pending
Fiberless Optics™. Because TeraBeam's Fiberless Optics™
liberates high bandwidth from fiber, no trenching or
building wiring is required to establish the service. The
result is broadband IP connectivity to the Internet and
intranets that is quick to provision, highly scalable and
much less expensive than fiber.
TeraBeam
Networks constructed its first IP routed Fiberless Optics™
network in 1998. From 1998 to the present, TeraBeam has
refined its technology and expanded its point-to-multipoint
IP Metropolitan Area Network serving Seattle's urban core.
Commercial service will be launched in summer of 2000 with
the top national and international markets served over the
next 3 years.
