Service speeds range from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps, with standard speeds of 10 Mbps, 50 Mbps, and 100 Mbps. Click to view image of service components.

TLS - Transparent LAN Service

Spectrotel TLS*, also known as Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) is a high-speed data service that provides Ethernet transport over a shared fiber network to provide interconnection of Local Area Networks (LANs) in multiple locations over one contiguous and safe network. It is ideal for the company that needs to transmit large amounts of data efficiently and securely. Service speeds range from 2 Mbps to 10 Gbps.

Traditional Private Line

Spectrotel Private Line Service is a traditional, dedicated, point-to-point data service between specific locations used exclusively to securely transmit data between locations using Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) framing. This service is often used by multi-location enterprises that require a protected, flexible and cost effective means to communicate across a network for such applications as bulk data transfer, disaster recovery, distance learning, engineering, and video conferencing. Available bandwidths range from DS1/T-1 (1.5 Mbps) to DS3/T-3 (45 Mbps)

Other High Bandwidth Services

Along with Fiber EPL and TLS, Spectrotel offers a full suite of high-speed, metro area, network services, including:

Optical Broadband Transport, a high speed, synchronous, optical fiber-based,full-duplex, data transmission service provided over shared SONET, at speeds from OC3 (155 Mbps) to OC 192 (10 Gbps).
Optical Wavelength Service, a high bandwidth, optical fiber-based, point-to-point service provided across a managed shared wavelength network, at speeds from OC48 (2.5 Gbps) to OC768 (40 Gbps)

Internet Over Anything *

EOF - Ethernet Over Fiber

Spectrotel Ethernet Over Fiber (EOF)* Service provides dedicated internet access using carrier Ethernet technology via fiber optic cables for high quality, local access connectivity. Depending on facility availability, service configurations use either a Metro Fiber Network, also known as “lit building Internet,” or an Access Fiber Network, which utilizes Ethernet access services provided over the Local Exchange Company’s fiber optic infrastructure.

IOB - Internet Over Broadband

Spectrotel Internet Over Broadband (IOB) Service uses the latest local access technologies, including fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) architecture, to maximize internet bandwidth and service quality. In the most common network scenario, fiber to the node (FTTN), an Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) is located in the node. The latest in vDSL and ADSL2+ technology is used for the remaining connection to the premises. IOB Service is available at a variety of speeds and competitive rates within the following 22 states: AL, AR, CA, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MI, MO, MS, NC, NV, OH, OK, SC, TN, TX, WI.

EOC - Ethernet Over Copper

Spectrotel’s premium Ethernet over Copper solution is delivered via Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) technology and is provisioned via multiple twisted copper pair loops. The use of multiple loops offers a distinct level of redundancy allowing continuity of services in the event of individual loop failures. EOC is available in speeds of 5MB to 45MB in select major metropolitan areas across the nation.

DSL - Digital Subscriber Line

Spectrotel DSL Service is a cost-effective, always on, high-speed internet connection that is delivered over existing telephone lines and can be used with traditional voice service simultaneously at an extremely affordable price. The service includes up to 15 email accounts with 10 Mbps storage each and options for dynamic or static IP addresses at speeds from 192 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps depending upon line characteristics and qualification. DSL is perfect for small businesses or for telecommuting.

DS1 & DS3 - Digital Signal 1 & 3

Spectrotel’s DIA Service over DS1 (T1.5) access provides 1.5 Mbps of symmetrical bandwidth over a dedicated, standard, time-division multiplexed, facility. Multiple DS1s can be bonded to provide up to 12Mbps of DIA. Speeds up to 45 Mbps are available over DS3 access. Static IP addresses are included. This solution is ideal for small and medium sized businesses to allow multiple users to share a single facility for fast and reliable access to the internet, to transfer large files, and to establish a secure telecommuting program.

IOW - Internet Over Wireless

Spectrotel Internet Over Wireless (IOW) Service provides wireless data connectivity to the Internet and to private data networks through the use of Virtual Private Network (VPN) security services. It is ideal for backup data networking solutions, and it is well suited for low data usage, difficult to reach, or temporary locations, such as M2M devices, remote offices, branches, or kiosks.

Virtual Network Services

MPLS - Multiprotocol Label Switching

Spectrotel MPLS services utilizes Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) operating over Spectrotel provided IP transport circuits (OSI layer 3) to create a virtual private network that is secure, scalable, and protocol agnostic. MPLS networks are available as point-to-point virtual private circuits or any-to-any virtual private networks.

VPLS - Virtual Private LAN Service

Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) provides Ethernet-based, any-to-any connectivity (traditionally OSI layer 2) between geographically dispersed sites using MPLS over IP (OSI layer 3). This enables Spectrotel to offer Ethernet connectivity between locations that may not be in the same LATA where native Ethernet service would otherwise be available via TLS or Fiber EPL.

TLS EVPLAN - Ethernet Virtual Private LAN

EVPLAN is an Ethernet Virtual Private Network available with Spectrotel TLS through the use of EVPLAN Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs), which provide the capability of a fully-meshed, any-to-any, Ethernet closed user group within the customer TLS network.
