Broadwing MultiConnect Private Line provides a secure, fixed-bandwidth core network that enables you to connect to up to 1,344 remote locations for a flat rate. This wide area network (WAN) solution allows you to fan multiple DS1 (1.54 Mbps) private lines from a single originating hub to numerous cities on our all-optical network. As an effective alternative to packet-switched broadband services such as frame relay or asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Broadwing MultiConnect Private Line gives you the security, low latency and multimedia capabilities of a private line at an affordable cost.

Flat-rate, Distance-insensitive 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. By paying the same monthly fee, regardless of usage or distance, you can maintain your budget without sacrificing your network needs. And because your MultiConnect network is aggregated at the hub, your local access costs are also minimized.

Flexible Connectivity Options
• MultiConnect 14 - Allows you to connect up to 14 remote locations from a single DS3 (45 Mbps) hub for a flat rate.
• MultiConnect 28 - Allows you to connect up to 28 remote locations from a single DS3 hub for a flat rate.
• MultiConnect 84 - Allows you to connect up to 84 remote locations from a single OC3 (155 Mbps) hub for a flat rate.
• MultiConnect 336 - Allows you to connect up to 336 remote locations from a single OC12 (622 Mbps) hub for a flat rate.
• MultiConnect 1,344 - Allows you to connect up to 1,344 remote locations from a single OC48 (2.5 Gbps) hub for a flat rate.

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.

Business Continuity (MultiConnect Redirect)
MultiConnect Redirect enables recovery of remote WAN locations to a secondary (back-up) host location in case of regional disaster, customer facilities failure, or access loop failure.

Advanced Technology Convergence
Broadwing MultiConnect 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.

*International sites can be connected at any Broadwing international gateway city for an additional cost.
