Service overview

What TEI provides

Transparent Ethernet Interconnect (also known as Private Interconnect / PI) delivers a fully transparent 10Gbps leased-line style connection between two TurkIX points of presence. You do not need to consume another TurkIX service to use TEI, and the first TEI is free if you are already connected as a member using a port.

10GBASE-LR connectivity at both ends as the standard model
1Gbps support is also possible based on requirements
Transmission of valid frames with MTU up to 9000 bytes, including Q-in-Q and MAC-in-MAC scenarios

Why teams choose TEI

Commercial and technical advantages

Extremely fast setup, usually within 24 hours.
Easy integration with Dark Fiber or other TEI services, including customer-managed LACP scenarios.
No installation fee and no unnecessary time spent coordinating VLANs and technical parameters.
Fully protected connectivity at the level of optical routes.
Suitable both for temporary requirements and long-term point-to-point service without complicated commitment models.

Technical model Transparent E-Line behavior

TEI follows a point-to-point Ethernet virtual connection model with transparent handling of valid frames and broad service applicability.

Capacity 10G standard, 1G possible

The standard TEI profile is 10Gbps, while 1Gbps support can also be discussed depending on your transport requirements.

Operations Clean coordination model

Because the service is transparent and point-to-point, administrative coordination is lighter and activation is easier to manage.
