Wavelength service delivers high speed and reliability, making it a premier choice for large data transfers with low latency. Wavelength operates at the physical layer (Layer 1) of the OSI model, which is responsible for transmitting raw data bits over a communication channel and defining the electrical, optical, and physical characteristics of the transmission medium on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network. It does not perform any higher-level functions like routing or addressing, which enables Wavelength to provide excellent end-to-end transparency and minimises data frame size limitations.Â
Ethernet service, on the other hand, is an excellent choice for businesses that require cost-effective and scalable data transfer solutions. Ethernet service is referred as data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, where it is responsible for framing data packets and providing error detections. Instead of transporting on pre-defined routes like Wavelength, Ethernet service uses Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to uniquely identify devices and determine which device is allowed to transmit data. 
The choice between Wavelength and Ethernet will depend on the specific needs and budget of your organisation. Please consult our experts to help you choose the right service for your business.Â
