MultiConnect Express provides a secure, fixed-bandwidth core network that enables you to connect remote locations for a distance-insensitive, flat rate. This wide area network (WAN) solution allows you to fan multiple private lines from a single OC48 (2.5 Gbps), OC12 (622 Mbps) or OC3 (155 Mbps) host to numerous cities on or all optical network.

Distance-insensitive, Flat-rate Pricing
MultiConnect provides a unique cost advantage for companies that require high bandwidth connectivity between multiple remote locations by providing flat-rate, distance-insensitive pricing. And because your MultiConnect Express network is aggregated at the hub, you also benefit from reduced local access costs.

Flexible Configurations
• MultiConnect Express OC48 - Provides you an OC48 host and allows OC12, OC3 and DS3 (45 Mbps) remote locations.
• MultiConnect Express OC12 - Provides you an OC12 host and allows OC3 and DS3 remote locations.
• MultiConnect Express OC3 - Provides you an OC3 host and allows DS3 remote locations.

Security and Reliability
As a truly private networking solution, operating at layer one of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) Model, Private Line offers the benchmark for WAN security. With 1+1 as well as 1+0 trunks options available, customers may fine tune the degree of survivability required based on applications and higher network layer protocol protection.

Advanced Technology Convergence
Broadwing MultiConnect Express Private Line can be combined with approved customer premises equipment (CPE) to transport voice, video, Internet protocol (IP), frame relay and ATM services. You receive an instant network and the ability to define your combination of services.
