When researching the best fit to meet your company's DS3 or OC3 bandwidth application requirements....the process can be extremely frustrating, costly, and time consuming.
Too often this entails individually contacting each bandwidth provider in the intended area of installation ..... at least that you know of. Negotiating "in the blind" .... not knowing exactly where you can push for a better deal .... also puts you at an extreme disadvantage. Plus not knowing for sure if the DS3 or OC3 bandwidth package they offer you will really cover your specific network application needs. The entire effort can take days, weeks, or even months to find just the right solution.
But there is an easier way. MUCH easier.
Simply identify your requirements and installation location(s)......providing the details in the form above.
[note: Please ensure complete, detailed, and accurate information. Incomplete or bogus RFQs will be ignored.]
You'll automatically receive instant real time rate quote info via email (1st cut preliminary assessment) .... comparing multiple providers available for the specific location(s) you designate. We'll follow that up immediately with personal contact providing more unbiased indepth research based on your detailed comments.
At a minimum the providers covered will include: ACC Business, Aire Spring, AT&T, Broad Sky Networks, Covad, Level 3, Megapath, New Edge Networks, Network Innovations, Nuvox Communications, One Communications, Power Net Global, Qwest, Splice Communications, TelePacific Communications, Telenes Broadband, Time Warner, UCN, US LEC, and XO. Others will be included depending on the location and your intended application.
We'll be in immediate contact to discuss the details, help determine exact application parameters and needs, confirm the best pricing available, and assist with the acquisition process. We'll negotiate on your behalf, ensure the best SLA (Service Level Agreement) and QOS (Quality of Service), do the paperwork, monitor provisioning and installation, and even run interference for you with your chosen provider for the life of the contract.

Written by: Michael Lemm - Jul 23, 2008 Ever wonder just what the heck was an "OC48"? Not surprisingly many network engineers and IT managers aren't up to speed (no pun intended) on just what OC really means...and what all is available to enahnce their company's applications within this bandwidth category. So....here's a quick run down to set you straight. The OC (optical carrier...fiber optic based broadband network )hierarchy goes as follows, starting with a T3/DS3 electrical carrier and then on to an OC-1: DS3 (Electrical) = 44.736mbits/sec = 28 T1s/DS1s STS1 (Electrical) = (1) DS3 @ 44.736mbits/sec with SONET (Synchronous Optical NET) overhead = 51.840mbits/sec OC-1 (Optical) = (1) STS1 on Optical facilities OC-3 = (3) OC-1s = 155.52mbits/sec OC-9 = (9) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 466.56mbits/sec OC-12 = (12) OC-1s or (4) OC-3s = 622.08mbits/sec OC-18 = (18) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 933.12mbits/sec OC-24 = (24) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 1.244gbits/sec OC-36 = (36) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 1.866gbits/sec OC-48 = (48) OC-1s or (4) OC-12s or (16) OC-3s = 2.488gbits/sec OC-192= (192) OC-1s or (4) OC-48s or (16) OC-12s or (64) OC-3s = 9.953gbits/sec The reason for the stair-stepping of the OC Hierarchy is due to the fact that the next available level of multiplexing ('muxing") of lower-level circuits is usually 4: (4) OC-3s = (1) OC-12, and (4) OC-48s = (1) OC-192. This muxing scheme is usually dictated by the equipment manufacturers and is pretty much an adopted standard in the Telecom industry - hence the lack of the lesser-common bandwidth aggregations like OC-9, OC-18, etc. The only exception is the OC-3, which was needed to allow the upper-level hierarchy to work. Hope this tidbit of info helps the network design decisions for your business now....and in the future! |
