Capacity Services

The Private Circuits may consist of structured SDH/SONET capacities or unstructured Wavelength capacity. These circuits have the following characteristics:

(a) The main characteristics of the IPLC service based on City to City SDH/SONET circuits are:

  • Service to the customer's final destination
  • Structured circuits in standard SDH and SONET protocols, compatible with multiplexers and interfaces from a wide range of suppliers in the industry.
  • Available Capacities:
    • STM-1/OC-3, STM-4/OC12, STM-16/OC48 and STM-64/OC192.
    • E3/DS3 and E1/T1, following a feasibility study.
    • Channelled and concatenated circuits.
  • Compliance with quality parameters specified in international recommendation ITU-G.826
  • Protection of the service in Span or Ring configuration, according to the MS-Spring layout, as specified in the ITU-T's international standard G.841.
  • Compliance with the international standards of the ITU-T G.703 and G.752, for electrical interfaces, and ITU-T G.707 for optical interfaces, at the interconnection points with third-party and client networks.

(b) The main characteristics of the IPLC service based on City to City Wavelength circuits are:

  • Service to the customer's final destination.
  • Unstructured circuits with equipment and interfaces compatible with multiplexer equipment and interfaces from a wide variety of providers in the industry.
  • Available Capacity: 10 Gbps.
  • Compliance with international standards ITU-T G.691 for optical interfaces, at the interconnection points with third-party and client networks.
