• Level 3 Adaptive Network Control Solutions with "Dynamic Capacity," which enable enterprises to adjust their bandwidth based on usage triggers, by scheduling or on an ad hoc basis
• Both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations.
  

"The flexibility of Ethernet-based solutions appeals to today's global companies that rely on high-performance voice, video and data applications to meet market demands while achieving growth and operational efficiency," said Andrew Crouch, regional president, EMEA and Global Accounts Management Division, Level 3 Communications. "Expanding our award-winning Ethernet portfolio into these initial 27 European markets is another key investment in the region and a milestone for Level 3's pursuit of a single, ubiquitous network to support our customers."
