Seamless, dedicated connection
With Qwest's Private Line Service (PLS), your Agency will enjoy dedicated duplex transmission connectivity between two or more designated end points. Qwest's PLS will give your Agency a managed, fully interoperable, and scalable suite of services. Qwest's PLS utilizes the Qwest four fiber SONET Bi-Directional Line-Switched Ring (BLSR) network to provide a highly reliable transport from sub-DS0 up through OC-192. Qwest's PLS seamlessly carries a variety of protocols, including ATM, Frame Relay, IP, and Ethernet, and delivers these services transparently from end to end.

Features

• DS0 through OC-192 speeds
• Concatenated and channelized circuits are supported
• Analog and sub-rate DS0 speeds

Benefits

• Peace of mind--all connections are dedicated 100% to your Agency, so there is no contention for bandwidth
