Layer 2 Ethernet

Put every location on the same network

Momentum delivers Ethernet WAN and VPLS across whichever carriers reach your sites, so distant locations behave like one switched network your team still controls.

One LAN, many locations

Your LAN extends beyond the building

Layer 2 Ethernet carries your frames between sites without a provider routing them. Your addressing, protocols, and routing decisions stay in your hands, and the network in between behaves like a switch. Momentum designs it across carriers and builds where no carrier reaches.

  • Point-to-point Ethernet: A dedicated link joins two sites as though they shared a patch panel
  • Multipoint VPLS: Every location lands on one switched network that grows as sites are added
  • Your routing stays yours: Your team keeps Layer 3 control while the carrier moves frames
  • Class of service: Voice, video, and critical data move ahead of bulk traffic

What Layer 2 gives back to your team

Control your team never hands over
Addressing, routing protocols, and policy stay with you. The carrier carries frames and makes no decisions about how your traffic moves.
Sites that act like one switch
Applications that expect a local network keep working across cities and countries, so clustering, replication, and legacy systems behave as designed.
Reach past one carrier's footprint
Different providers serve different sites. Momentum ties them into one Ethernet design and builds the connection where no carrier reaches.
How it works

How your Ethernet network comes together

Design the topology

Some site pairs need a direct link, like a data center and its recovery site. Others belong on a shared multipoint network. The design settles which is which before anything gets ordered.

Clinical systems were built to run on a local network

  • Campus interconnect
    Buildings across a health system share one switched network over dedicated Ethernet.
  • Imaging and records
    Large studies move between facilities at LAN speed instead of crossing the internet.
  • Data center pairs
    Primary and recovery sites stay in the same broadcast domain for replication and failover.
Why Momentum

Ethernet that isn't drawn on one carrier's map

Most Ethernet networks were built around a single carrier's footprint. Sites outside it got patched in with whatever was available. Momentum starts from your site list, sources the right provider for each location, builds the connection where nobody reaches, and runs the result as one network.

We pick the provider that best serves each site, from 750+ carriers.

FAQ

Layer 2 Ethernet FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most, straight from the team that runs the network.

Book a meeting

Point-to-point Ethernet joins two sites over a single link, which suits data center pairs and site-to-site connections. VPLS is multipoint, so many locations share one switched network, and any site can reach any other without a separate circuit for each pair.
