Business challenges
If you transport large amounts of information between two locations within the same metropolitan area, you understand the challenges in getting high quality, competitively priced service. Low-speed transport services and error-prone analog systems do not offer the reliability and the capacity to compete in today's fast paced business landscape. Your organization needs large capacity, high speeds and the flexibility to configure communications services to meet very specific and frequently changing requirements. You also want to purchase these large bandwidths at competitive prices.
The Qwest solution
Qwest Metro Private Line (QMPL) provides competitively priced, point-to-point, intraLATA private lines at speeds ranging from DS-1 (1.544 Mbps) to OC-48 (2.4 Gbps) for on-net to on-net connectivity, and DS-1 to OC-12 for on-net to off-net locations. Businesses can connect two or more locations within the same metropolitan area with QMPL high quality, reliable and scalable service. If you already have an established relationship with another carrier, QMPL is there to meet your local loop requirements. Many carriers may not be able to provide that last mile, local loop access. QMPL can be your comprehensive solution.
Who needs QMPL?
- Any company that is experiencing local bandwidth constraints
- Institutions that need to back up data remotely
- Businesses that need to connect to vendors or suppliers
- Large companies with multiple locations or key vendor relationships in a metropolitan area
- Any company that has high bandwidth applications for data, voice, video or detailed imaging
QMPL benefits
- Potential cost savings: QMPL can potentially eliminate the need for multiple lines to support voice, data and video applications.
- Reliability: The Qwest all fiber synchronous optical network (SONET) guarantees a 99.95 service level agreement (SLA) and 50 millisecond restoration in the case of a fiber cut. QMPL has fully protected cards.
- Security: Fiber optic circuits are tamper resistant, providing an extra level of security.
- Expandability: QMPL is designed to be flexible to meet changing requirements. Qwest makes it easy to move up to a larger bandwidth as your business needs change.
- Multiplexing: Multiple services can be multiplexed into OC-N services to take advantage of economies of scale. For example, it is less expensive to install and maintain one high-speed line than it is to run multiple lower speed lines. QMPL can multiplex lower speed lines at the end points and potentially save you money.
- Flexible Pricing: Discounted, variable-term contract options offer a choice of savings plans.
- Future Services: Qwest gives you the ability to transition your business as we introduce new services such as metro wavelengths, metro Ethernet and enhanced SONET ring services.
The Qwest advantage
QMPL is one of the most advanced telecommunications technologies available today. Our SONET-based system is a large capacity, 100 percent fiber optic network deployed in a ring configuration. The system employs a working, or "hot," path carrying data in one direction and a "protected" path transporting information in the opposite direction around the ring. The ring topology continually monitors service quality, detects any failure or degradation and automatically self-heals to ensure uninterrupted transmission flow. Rerouting is accomplished within 50 milliseconds.
You can depend on Qwest for proven precision, power and performance. Our QMPL service offers a range of flexible, cost-effective alternatives for high-capacity and high-speed data, video and voice applications. Save both time and expense-take advantage of today's most useful and bandwidth-intensive applications-Qwest Metro Private Line.
