Network Specifications and Target Service Level Agreements
Internet Dedicated Internet access services offer superior solutions. Access speeds range from 56Kbps all the way up to OC3, and can be fractional bandwidths, burstable bandwidths, ATM or Frame Relay. Sample Applications
Frame Relay USA Worldtel partner, American Telesis has implemented a public frame relay service based on the Cascade WAN Switch Platform. This platform was selected due to the low cost per port and the scalable architecture of the switch. Each Cascade switch site has a minimum of two trunk paths out with an average of 3.1 trunk paths per switch site. This type of over engineering enables American Telesis to provide one of the most robust frame relay service offerings in the industry. Our robustness does not stem from the fact that we redundantly trunk switch sites. It is safe to say any IXC carrier will sufficiently trunk a switch to avoid a backbone failure. Our robustness comes from the fact that we deploy a multitude of switches in a geographic area. Whereas the Big 4 IXC's deploy frame relay switches in major metropolitan areas, we deploy in both major and secondary cities. This gives a level of redundancy that you do not get by backhauling to a central switch location. International connectivity is provided from SITA group for frame relay connectivity to over 60 countries throughout the world. All networks are connected via the NNI with all carriers co-locating switches in the same POP for NNI connections via a v.35 connection and a cable. No TELCO facilities are required for the NNl's between the domestic carriers networks. Why Frame Relay Service? If your network currently uses dedicated leased lines for your internetworking, American Telesis' Frame Relay could give you the increased throughput you desire with the cost savings you need. Our public frame relay network is engineered to give you the permanent connections you require at the throughput you deem necessary. Permanent connections are done logically inside our network using Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC). PVCs can be constructed to locations that have a physical connection to the network. Those connections can have a variety of speeds that American Telesis will guarantee. The Committed Information Rate (CIR) is the component that enables you to tailor your networking requirements. Frame Relay has become a mainstream technology that most carriers and equipment manufacturers have embraced. It is not often that a new technology comes along from which you can receive more features and benefits and pay less for the service. In today's world, applications require more bandwidth and the data is more critical to daily operation. With dedicated leased lines, your bandwidth is fixed at a certain throughput. For many users, a 56 KB line is not enough. but a T-1 line is too costly. Frame relay enables you to purchase the speeds you need, plus they can cost less than regular 56 Kb lines you may already be using. The benefits of a frame relay network are inherent in the network itself. Increasing your CIR. building more PVC's or giving any-to-any connectivity is all done transparent to your company. Flexibility and increased throughput are key reasons to use American Telesis'' Frame Relay service. Specification Data All access is provided by the local exchange carrier (Frame Relay or DDS), or an alternate access carrier. Port connections can be 56 Kbps, 128 Kbps. 256 Kbps, 384 Kbps. 512 Kbps. 768Kbps, 1.024 Mbps and 1.544 Mbps. ANST TISI compliance for access links enable both LM1 and ANSI Annex "D" intelligent access link management. A fixed Committed Information Rate (CIR) is set at the time of installalion; however, logical connections can be adjusted through American Telesis customer service or Network Management Center. Please contact your USA WorldTel Salesperson or American Telesis Engineer for clarification of types supported. DS-0 Service with VF (analog) DS-0 Service is a 64 Kbps dedicated
digital interexchange channel service. Using analog voice frequency
(VF) local access, DS-0 Service will support the transmission of
analog voice and/or data within the frequency range of 300 - 3000
Hz.
Although analogs still make up the majority of circuits throughout the US, digital circuits are quickly becoming the majority. Analogs require customer provided-modems on the terminating end of each circuit. Automatic Ring Down (ARD) An Auto-Ringdown is a leased voice circuit that connects two single endpoints together. When either telephone handset is taken off-hook, the remote telephone automatically rings. This application is used most frequently for brokerage firms, banks, Wall Street firms and applications that require immediate verbal responses. Since both ARD's and Hoot'n'Hollars are popular with both Wall Street and Recyclers, we have specialized in both types of circuits. We provide them everywhere across the US both locally (IntraLATA) as well as nationally (InterLATA). This type of voice-grade analog circuit is considered a specialty circuit in that the Bell codes for signaling on both ends are not coded the same on each side, as are most other types of circuits. This is called a 2-State signaling scheme, based upon the use of the "A-Bit". Like many other voice grade, analog circuits, it can be ordered either as a 2 or 4 wire connection based on the requirement of the customers terminating equipment. If any segments of the tail circuits into the customers premise are in excess of 6 miles, the circuit should be ordered up as a 4 wire and a hybrid station pack should be used at the customer site to break it back down to 2 wires for their equipment. Off Premise Extension As the name implies, an OPX is like having a circuit or phone connected to a remote PBX or phone system. Typically, this type of circuit is used when other remote locations need quick and continuous connection to headquarters throughout the day and need other phone system features from their headquarters larger PBX phone system. This type of circuit is often used by telecommuters who wish to work from home or an outlying office that needs to have all the phone features of their headquarters' phone system as well as immediate access to the employees at that location. The circuit is accessible by all at the headquarters' locations simply by dialing an extension, and the remote user would also be able to access all headquarter personnel with an extension number as well. This service is not specific to any vertical market, it is used by practically all types of business and is available locally (IntraLATA) as well as nationally (InterLATA). Hoot'n'Hollers USA WorldTel partner American Telesis specializes in providing Hoot'n'Holler services to Brokerage Houses, Commodity Traders, Recyclers and Automotive and Airline parts traders. Designing the networks Provisioning of the network Maintenance of the network Designing, ordering, provisioning and ongoing maintenance of these highly specialized facilities is not rocket science but it does border on becoming an art, if done effectively. Our sole business is private lines and networks, our specialty within that business is the art of provisioning Hoot'n'Holler networks. Multi-drops This type of circuit can connect up to 4 locations with one continuous link between each of them. This requires special modems capable of providing multidrop service. The trade-off may be in the area of maintenance and outages, where defining the location of an outage or intrusion of noise, will often take longer and may provide greater down time. But in return for this potential inconvenience you will receive a substantially reduced cost. ATM(Asynchronous Transmission Mode) Supporting multiple applications – voice, data, multimedia, and video — can be extremely costly and complex. With ATM, you have the flexibility to support your applications through a single network access interface. ATM is available nationwide and across the globe in several international locations whether in Chicago, Paris, or Tokyo. ATM is a native cell-based, connection-oriented, data transmission service that allows you to integrate all types of traffic. It decreases the number of access lines you need and greatly simplifies technology management. Using ATM, you can:
Features
Continuing its commitment to develop and deploy leading-edge technologies, American Telesis is introducing a broadband service called ATM Switch-to-Switch (ATM STS). This service, available nationwide, provides network managers new flexibility and freedom in designing and operating their ATM networks. ATM STS offers customers the ability to connect their local ATM customer premise equipment to other ATM switches over the wide area network. Networks We specialize in large bridged or DAXed networks! Networks are great when they are working the way they were designed to, but too often networks, simply due to their complexity, have problems. We know what circuit designs work and more importantly what circuit or network designs build in greater opportunity for problems. Since you can't build a perfect foolproof network, you have to train a staff of maintenance personnel to recognize the problems and be pit-bulls in resolving them. We know that responsive, effective maintenance is in short supply. We have tried to make it our strongest suit. Analog Services Analogs come in a variety of shapes, sizes and applications. They, like their digital counterparts, can be multi-dropped, fanned out, bridged, daxed and otherwise networked in many configurations. Although analogs still make up the majority of circuits throughout the US, digital circuits are quickly becoming the majority. Analogs require customer provided-modems on the terminating end of each circuit. Digital Services digital services link your data resource locations...
