Link Oregon’s Ethernet Transport Service delivers the network speeds, flexible topologies, resilience and reliability Oregon’s public and non-profit sectors need today with the scalability to support evolving future demands.
From community colleges and K-12 schools to community healthcare clinics and city/county governments to high-performance computing research labs, digital transformation across Oregon is driving greater use of bandwidth-and-performance-hungry data and cloud applications, placing unprecedented demand on internal networks. Telehealth, online learning, multi-group videoconferencing, secure sharing of digital records, critical county services and research collaborations across university campuses are just a few examples of high-bandwidth connectivity-dependent applications enabled by our Ethernet Transport service.

Why Work with Link Oregon
Scalable Bandwidths up to 100G
Our Ethernet Transport Service supports flexible, high-speed bandwidths with provisioned rates from 10Mbps up to 100Gbps to accommodate the unique connectivity needs of our member institutions. Meet today’s requirements while future proofing for demand surges.
Service Resiliency with Disaster Recovery
Automatic failover capability protects against service disruptions caused by line cuts with seamless rerouting of traffic without manual interventions. Our members can also establish a direct connection between two sites for data replication/recovery, protecting business critical data from permanent loss. Fast “surge capacity” during unexpected demand surges mitigates against service disruptions or poor service quality. Our Transport Service is backed by Tier one NOC support coupled with additional Tier2/Tier3 support directly from Link Oregon and built for redundancy with multiple routers at each POP and multiple POPs at select cities.
Internet Access and Cloud Connectivity
For members interested in enabling fast Internet access and cloud connectivity, including extending their on-premise infrastructure to the cloud, please learn more about our Premium Internet Transit Service and also learn more about how we connect our members to the Cloud.
Multisite Connectivity
Support for multiple topologies (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multi-point to multi-point) allows your organization to adapt to diverse business connectivity needs whether you’re looking to connect branch offices to a central offices or enable multiple offices across dispersed sites to connect to cloud services. With our Ethernet Transport Service, you can count on seamless data transit and collaborative workgroups across geographically dispersed regions.
