Ethernet Backhaul Direct (EBD) offers permanently connected, point-to-point high speed data circuits that provide a secure and un-contended backhaul service for Communications Providers.

Ethernet Backhaul Direct is available at 1Gbit/s bandwidth (EBD1000).

Introduction

This service will operate between a Communications Provider's (CP) Point of Presence (PoP) located in a designated Openreach Access Serving Node (ASN) in a BT Exchange (using CoLocation, NetLocate or BT Locate accommodation), and a CP's core network PoP located in either the designated Openreach Handover Point (OHP) or in the CP's own site, accessed using a Bulk Transport Link or alternative transport solution provided by the CP.
