Synchronous Service Transport (SST)
|
Qwest Synchronous Service Transport (SST) is a private line, point-to-point, high-capacity connection designed to transport very large volumes of information at rates as high as 9.952 Gbps. Provisioned on fiber optic systems based on Synchronous Optical NETwork (SONET) technology, SST can provide connections between your locations or between your location and a Qwest hub.
Vital circuit protection is an important part of the SST package with alternate fiber routing provided in the local loop (where available) at no additional charge. Self-Healing Alternate Route Protection (SHARP) is an optional feature which assures alternate path routing availability, and predefines credits for outages of more than one second.
With SST, you can:
- Position your company for the future, e.g., Broadband ISDN and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
- Introduce new OC3 and OC12 interfaces and deliver existing DS1 and DS3 interfaces using SONET as the transport medium
- Take advantage of multiple electrical and optical interfaces, and of new OC3 and OC12 optical interfaces
- Gain access to expanded bandwidth capacity
- Optimize service usage and improve your network efficiency, e.g., by consolidating lower-speed services
- Aggregate your Private Line Transport and Switched Access Services on Private Line
- Aggregate DS1, DS3, OC3, OC12, or OC48 circuits onto a single, diverse, SONET network path
- Transport data using very high-speed connections, including the OC3c, OC12c and future OC48c concatenated services
- Transport a variety of protocols, including IP, ATM, and DWDM.
- Position your company for the future, with connections to multiple carriers in the Central Offices and fiber connectivity
- Gain access to expanded bandwidth capacity, or SHNS
- Optimize service usage and improve network efficiency, e.g. by consolidating lower-speed services
- Take advantage of multiple electrical and optical interfaces
