Point-to-Point Private Connectivity Solutions
Point-to-Point Private Connectivity Solutions
Point-to-point connections provide dedicated, private circuits between two locations—delivering predictable performance, guaranteed bandwidth, and secure communications without the unpredictability of shared Internet connections. Whether connecting branch offices to headquarters, linking data centers for disaster recovery, or establishing secure connections to cloud platforms, point-to-point connectivity ensures your critical data travels on circuits dedicated exclusively to your organization.
Infinity Data Center brokers carrier-diverse point-to-point solutions from multiple fiber providers including LCUB, WOW, AT&T, Windstream, and Iris Network. Our connectivity brokerage model gives you access to competitive pricing across multiple carriers while maintaining a single point of contact for circuit provisioning, troubleshooting, and ongoing support.
Why Point-to-Point Connectivity?
Shared Internet connections—even business-grade broadband—introduce variables that impact mission-critical applications: unpredictable latency, bandwidth contention during peak hours, security concerns with public routing, and jitter affecting VoIP and video quality. Point-to-point circuits eliminate these concerns by providing:
- Dedicated Bandwidth - Guaranteed throughput with no oversubscription or "up to" speed limitations
- Consistent Latency - Predictable performance for real-time applications (VoIP, video conferencing, financial trading)
- Private Routing - Traffic never touches the public Internet, reducing attack surface and compliance risk
- Symmetric Speeds - Equal upload and download bandwidth (unlike cable/DSL which favor downloads)
- Service Level Agreements - Contractual uptime guarantees with financial penalties for downtime
- Layer 2 Transport - Direct Ethernet connectivity enabling bridging, VLANs, and protocol transparency
Organizations running ERP systems, database replication, VoIP phone systems, video surveillance, or disaster recovery backups benefit from the predictable performance and security of dedicated circuits.
Types of Point-to-Point Connections
Ethernet Private Line (EPL)
EPL circuits provide dedicated Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity between two locations over a private fiber infrastructure. Common speeds include 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps.
Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL)
EVPL circuits use VLAN tagging to deliver multiple virtual point-to-point connections over a single physical circuit. This allows you to connect one location to multiple destinations using a single fiber drop. Learn more about EVPL services.
Dark Fiber
Dark fiber leasing provides exclusive access to unused fiber optic strands between two locations, giving you complete control over protocols, speeds, and upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between point-to-point and VPN over Internet?
Point-to-point circuits provide dedicated bandwidth with guaranteed performance on private infrastructure. VPN over Internet encrypts traffic but shares bandwidth with other users, resulting in variable performance.
How long does installation take?
On-net locations typically provision in 30-45 days. Near-net locations requiring fiber extensions add 60-90 days. Off-net locations requiring new construction can take 120-180+ days.
Can I connect to cloud providers?
Yes. AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Interconnect provide private connectivity to cloud platforms. We can provision these connections through our carrier partnerships.
