TELECOM BITS We help support your mission-critical communications with dedicated connections through a Global Internet backbone network via access circuits from (T-1) to (OC-48) as well as Metro Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigibit Ethernet circuits. Gigabit Ethernet LAN speeds are the fastest connections available today and ten gigabits per second is the current cap for processing speeds. Carrier Ethernet has promised higher data rates, more flexible provisioning and lower cost than traditional WAN technologies, but coverage is usually in metropolitan areas. CRG West operates carrier-neutral data centers in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Jose, Silicon Valley, and Washington, DC. We also have experience with enterprise products typically employed by larger corporations and carriers, which include; gigabit ethernet, OC3, OC12, OC48, OC192, OC256, and OC768 lines delivered over a fiber optic backbone. You can choose your Ethernet switch depending on how many computers you have in your network and how you want things set up to. Our solution providers have years of experience helping inbound and outbound call centers, customer support centers, dental offices, law offices, and other business who rely heavily on reliable business telephone service. To successfully manage wide area network demand and ever increasing escalating operating costs our IT can assemble a dedicated team tasked with identifying and deploying ways to improve engineering, operating, and management efficiencies for bandwidth utilization. Our search engine includes VARs from every local market in the continental United States, so you can be sure that you will find the help you need. Not all dark fiber suppliers are created equal and do not provide the same level of maintenance agreements on their fiber networks. Our networks provide 99.999% network availability with up to 255 assignable IP addresses and your choice of point-to-point or ring connections. A Bonded T1 line delivers the speed of two 1.5 Mbps DS1 loops together into one affordable, congruent connection to deliver 3.0 Mbps of symmetrical upload and download speed. (EPL) or Ethernet Private Line Service is a dedicated point-to-point service with capacity from 3 Mbps, 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1 Gbps with 1 MB - 10MB Bursts in between. The copper cable with Gigabit Ethernet will usually only reach a distance of 25 meters. Larger businesses will usually require the reliability of a high-capacity T1 circuit for hosting multiple servers and workstations. DSL is a quick and cost effective method of acquiring high speed bandwidth however it is not intended to support commercial applications or large numbers of users like a T1 connection. Availability can be an issue for cable and DSL in more rural areas. Consumers can find it a challenging choice as to which product to buy because often they will make a purchase decision only to discover that a few weeks later there is an even better option on the market. Basing your choice on configuration, you may choose from unmanaged and managed switches. DSL can experience downtimes of up to 2 weeks. Our Telco's offer businesses last mile broadband connections for voice and data at very competitive rates. The cost of upgrading from a T1 line to T3 is rather expensive and can result in unacceptable interruptions of business continuity. Shop online for Bonded T-1 Line Providers, Internet Provider search and compare discount prices of T1 PRI Voice and Data T1 rates with multiple carriers in seconds. Please understand that pricing is based on service address and phone number, so please use real information to get accurate results. The high-end IP needs of companies, resulted in the need for things to change within the bandwidth industry. It takes less money and manpower to add additional T1 lines than it does to totally upgrade to a T3 line. T1 lines rarely experience downtimes and if they do they are functional within 4 to 24 hours. The choice of a telecommunications solution best suited for you does not have to be difficult and if you just work with these selection measures, you will make the ideal purchase. DS3 and Ethernet coverage includes Washington DC, Delaware, Florida and Georgia PRI LD T1 Lines. An Advisor can help you drill down the different offerings and help you make the right choice.
