OVERVIEW
High-Speed, high bandwidth with optical networking proficiency
Global Crossing Wavelength Service is an unprotected, bi-directional, point-to-point circuit at speeds of GigE, 2.5Gbps, 10Gbps, 10GigE and 40Gbps. This service is a SONET/SDH framed signal and is fully compliant with ITU-T and Telcordia standards. Wavelength transport is a flexible alternative to dark fiber and traditional capacity services. It provides bandwidth on demand, lowers costs, expands market coverage and increases speed-to-market. This data delivery method also supports various applications including SONET/SDH, IP and ATM, while eliminating unnecessary overhead and functional duplication across the network.
Because limited capital is required, the overall expense associated with owning and operating an optical network infrastructure is reduced. By shifting the technology burden to us, you can avoid frequent upgrades to optical equipment and concentrate efforts on growing your core business.
Global Crossing Ethernet Wavelength Service provides Ethernet point-to-point connectivity over a fiber-optic network using DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology at GigE or 10 GigE. Performance and error reporting match that of traditional SONET/SDH interfaces, while costs using Ethernet may be significantly lower. In addition to potentially dramatic cost savings, most network managers are familiar with Ethernet interfaces in the Local Area Network (LAN) environment. This will make for a smooth transition to supporting Ethernet service in your Wide Area Network (WAN).
