Broadwing
Frame Relay and ATM services offer you a scalable, manageable and
cost-effective network solution for all your communications needs.
Broadwing's data transport methods are ideal for connecting remote
offices without having to plan, build or maintain your own network.
Plus, you receive the benefits of Broadwing's all-optical network
and award-winning Frame Relay/ATM network platform. Diverse and
redundant fiber routes at backbone speeds up to 2.5Gbps (OC48) guarantee
fast, secure and reliable transfer of your data.
Frame
Relay
Broadwing Frame Relay service enables your business to receive data,
voice, video and other multimedia traffic requirements within one
network without the cost and inflexibility of a leased line.
• Ideal for connecting local area networks (LANs) and easily
scalable to meet your changing business needs.
ATM
Broadwing ATM service supports today's multi-protocol, multi-vendor
data environments.
• Seamlessly integrates with frame relay networks and allows
you to have one network for voice, video and data.
• The premier technology for wide area networks (WANs) and
enterprise networks because of its strength in real-time, delay-sensitive
applications.
Easy
Migration and Interoperability
With an ATM backbone at the core of our Frame Relay/ATM network,
Broadwing creates a trouble-free migration path from lower frame
relay speeds to higher ATM speeds as your bandwidth demands increase.
Broadwing offers true frame relay to ATM services interworking (FRASI),
giving you the ability to have frame relay and ATM nodes within
the same WAN.
Flexibility
Broadwing offers a variety of connection, port and pricing options
so you can customize the best solution for your needs:
• Pay for what you use with flexible class of service (CoS)
options:
• Constant bit rate (CBR), variable bit rate
real-time (VBR-rt)
• Variable bit rate non real-time (VBR-nrt)
and unspecified bit rate (UBR)
• Diverse connectivity options:
• Symmetrical permanent virtual circuit (PVC)
and asymmetrical PVC
• Variety of port speeds ranging from 56 Kbps to 622 Mbps (OC12)
Broad
Coverage
Broadwing has extensive domestic and worldwide reach to address
all of your global networking needs.
• No need to manage multiple wide area
networks - Broadwing can offer seamless connectivity via Frame Relay
to more 70 countries and via ATM to more 30 countries.
Access
Solutions
Broadwing offers an array of local access alternatives to meet all
of your connectivity requirements. Options include traditional (TDM)
access, LEC UNI and DSL to match the cost efficiency and reliability
needs of your business.
Guaranteed
Performance
• Broadwing's aggressive service level agreements (SLAs) guarantee
your network performance at the core, at the edge and overseas.
• All Frame Relay/ATM customers receive network-based Web reporting
to monitor throughput data including average throughput per permanent
virtual circuit (PVC), percentage of committed information rate
(CIR) utilization, and circuit availability information. We also
offer performance reports with end-to-end statistics and data obtained
from international sites.
Increased
Reliability, Security and Speed
• Broadwing's all-optical core transport network sends your
traffic at virtually the speed of light.
• Our optical technology drastically reduces
latency by eliminating the need for optical signals to be converted
to electrical for regeneration and then converted back to optical
for transmission.
• Superior monitoring, lower cost structure,
and faster turn-up through seamless integration of our all-Alcatel
Frame Relay/ATM network.
Disaster
Recovery
• Broadwing's disaster recovery solution provides a backup
mode that automatically reroutes network traffic to a contingency
site.
• Protects against catastrophic disasters including faulty
CPE, routers, host computers, local loops or problems with local
exchange carriers' (LECs') facilities.
Enhanced
Frame Relay Service
• Broadwing also offers fully managed Frame Relay Service ensuring
that your network is fully accessible and operating at peak performance
by providing:
• Proactive monitoring of data service units (DSUs)
• Network engineers continuously
monitor your DSUs 24x7x365 for optimal network performance. Your
network is proactively monitored to isolate, resolve and prevent
faults before they affect your business.
• Intelligent Service Level Verification (SLV) reports
• Web-based reports offer a detailed
look at your network performance and enable you to verify that your
network is performing to the standards set forth in our SLAs. You
are also able to track your network performance and monitor potential
network overloading, which assists you in capacity management and
allows you to plan for future network growth.
