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.
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
How your Ethernet network comes together
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.

When one site stops being enough
Clinical systems were built to run on a local network
- Campus interconnectBuildings across a health system share one switched network over dedicated Ethernet.
- Imaging and recordsLarge studies move between facilities at LAN speed instead of crossing the internet.
- Data center pairsPrimary and recovery sites stay in the same broadcast domain for replication and failover.
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.

Layer 2 Ethernet FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most, straight from the team that runs the network.
Book a meetingPoint-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.
A routed service hands your traffic to the provider, which decides how it moves. Layer 2 Ethernet carries frames between your sites and leaves routing, addressing, and policy with your team. You keep control of the network design.
Yes. Momentum sources the provider that best serves each location, builds where no carrier reaches, and brings every site into one Ethernet design with one support team. Your network isn't limited to a single carrier's footprint.
Yes. Ethernet services carry your VLAN tags and your addressing between sites. Engineers configure transparency and tagging during design, so your existing scheme moves across the WAN without renumbering.
In stages. Momentum moves sites in planned waves, tests each one before live traffic shifts, and keeps the existing network running as a fallback until the new one is proven across the footprint.
