Ethernet over WAN
Ethernet over WAN provides a fast, cost-effective, and highly secure network for enterprises. nets360 delivers end-to-end connectivity across Europe, right down to the last mile – all from a single source.
Beyond the Internet:
The era of custom connectivity
Complex MPLS, SD-WAN, and VPN infrastructures as well as expensive firewalls at every location are now history! With Ethernet over WAN, nets360 introduces the next era of enterprise networking – entirely outside the public internet.
Benefits of
Ethernet over WAN
Ethernet over WAN (Layer 2) connects your business locations into a single logical network (LAN)—as if all locations were combined within a single switch. Your VLANs are transmitted transparently without any packet modification. As a Layer 2 data communication technology, Ethernet over WAN provides reliable, cost-effective connectivity, ideal for businesses requiring stability, low latency, security, and flexibility.
Your advantages at a glance:
-
Unified Network (ELAN): “Ethernet Local Area Network” Line offers easily and efficiently interconnect multiple locations into a single logical network, managed just like a local LAN. This reduces complexity and simplifies network administration.
-
Scalability and Flexibility (EVPL): “Ethernet Virtual Private Line” offers scalable bandwidth adjustments, allowing you to flexibly adapt your network resources to changing business needs.
-
VLAN Support: Transparent VLAN transmission ensures no modification to your data packets.
-
Optimal Cost Efficiency: Ethernet over WAN reduces expenses through simplified network management, decreased hardware needs, and more efficient use of existing infrastructure.
-
Cost Savings from Firewall Elimination: Ethernet over WAN removes the necessity for expensive firewalls with annual licenses and complex SD-WAN, MPLS, or VPN configurations.
-
High Security: As a Layer 2 solution, Ethernet over WAN provides superior data security through logical separation from other networks. Data transmission occurs entirely outside of the public internet.
-
Low Latency and High Performance: Direct Ethernet connections ensure minimal latency and excellent performance, perfectly suited for real-time applications and data-intensive processes.
Hybrid Solutions
with SD-WAN
For businesses with complex network environments or locations that cannot easily integrate through nets360’s last-mile offering, we provide flexible hybrid solutions in combination with SD-WAN technologies from Fortinet, Sophos, Barracuda, or Cisco. nets360 aggregates multiple SD-WAN connections via its core backbone in Europe, seamlessly integrating them with your dedicated Ethernet or WAN solution using protocols such as Q-in-Q. This enables cost-effective connectivity, for example, simplifying the integration of remote or home office locations.
Direct-to-Cloud and
Direct-to-Data-Center
nets360 offers you the ability to enhance your Ethernet-over-WAN solution with value-added services such as Direct-to-Cloud and Direct-to-Data-Center. Through the high-performance nets360 core network, your locations are seamlessly connected at the Ethernet level directly to all European cloud providers, major hyperscalers, and all EU-based data centers. This approach enables simple, secure, and efficient networking between your sites, cloud services, and data centers.

Centralized Internet Proxy & Firewall Solutions
To enable secure internet breakouts for your Ethernet solution, nets360 provides centralized internet proxies and virtual firewall solutions powered by Fortinet. These services allow your organization to securely and efficiently exchange data with the internet or other Ethernet-connected customers. Our internet proxies are available at multiple points-of-presence (POPs) across various European countries.
One Port. 360° Services
Once you’re connected to nets360, you can access a wide range of services, including:
Layer-2
Network Encryption
For customers with the highest data security requirements, nets360 optionally provides hardware-based Layer-2 network encryption powered by Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity. This solution offers maximum protection against data interception and manipulation. The encryption devices used carry BSI (Federal Office for Information Security, Germany) approval and are certified for classified information up to VS-NfD, EU, and NATO RESTRICTED standards.
IoT Connectivity
nets360 provides a Ethernet-over-WAN solution that seamlessly integrates with our IoT services. Using our private cellular network (dedicated APN), IoT devices are securely and directly integrated into your Ethernet environment via Layer 2. Our Extended Secure IoT SIM cards (4G/5G), as well as our Managed Extended Secure IoT Gateways, can be deployed across Europe and feature at least two separate provider connections per country, ensuring maximum redundancy and availability.
Additionally, you benefit from flexible IoT device management through the nets360 IoT platform, providing complete transparency and control for secure and efficient IoT operations. Whether you’re managing smart city projects, industrial IoT solutions, or cross-location asset tracking—with nets360, connecting Ethernet and IoT becomes secure, reliable, and effortless.
