Native IP (Internet Protocol) network
There are fewer components needed, fewer potential
points of failure in the network and no restrictions on incremental bandwidth.

Data carrying in native Ethernet format
No conversion is required, which means no added latency
and no matching to established bandwidth hierarchies like T-1 and DS-3. This mode of
transmission is much simpler, more scalable and much more efficient, resulting in much better
performance.

Gigabit Ethernet network
"Giga" means billion, so Gigabit Ethernet means the data is transmitted at one billion bits per second. This is 100 times faster than the original Ethernet standard of 10 Mbps. Gigabit Ethernet is the logical evolution of the Ethernet standard from 10 Mbps, then to 100 Mbps, and now to 1000 Mbps - "Gigabit." Because this is such a high speed, it cannot be carried more than a few hundred feet over copper wires. This is why fiber optics are so important to this technology.

Diverse Routing
Network is designed to minimize delays and failure through diverse routing and transit and peering relationships with multiple partners in each metropolitan area. In addition, Yipes'
network management and support proactively identifies and reacts to potential network outages
and delays. This means that, more often than not, we'll have issues resolved before they ever
affect our customers.

Fault-tolerance
Network and fault management are based on best-of-breed systems and tools such as Aprisma Spectrum, Remedy ARS and Concord Network Health.

Partners
Best of breed equipment suppliers and backbone providers include: Extreme Networks, Juniper Networks, NetScreen Technologies, Qwest Communications and Level 3 Communications, to name a few.
