Chicago, IL, USA, May 18, 2016 – Global Capacity, the leading connectivity as a service company, announces today that it has been named a 2016 Leading Lights Most Innovative SMB Service Award finalist for its Asymmetrical Ethernet Service. The Leading Lights Awards are the next-generation communications industry’s most coveted honor. Light Reading’s reputation for fiercely independent analysis of products and companies it covers makes this one of the most credible and authoritative awards programs in the industry.
Global Capacity’s Asymmetrical Ethernet Service provides a lower-cost Ethernet connectivity option for business customers looking for higher speeds and better SLAs.

Built for performance, Asymmetrical Ethernet supports Class of Service (CoS), delivering better performance and providing business-class uptime guarantees for multiple applications like VoIP, video and MPLS VPN.
“Global Capacity is honored to be recognized by Light Reading with one of the year’s most innovative connectivity services for business,” states Pat Hannon, Chief Revenue Officer of Global Capacity. “Our broad portfolio of network access services provides customers with the right connectivity for the right destination at the right price.”
