In order to satisfy the different needs of a wide variety of customers, Telefonica Wholesale offers this service as the combination of two basic components:
SDH/SONET Backbone Capacity, which connects with Telefonica Wholesale's PoPs in cities and the Access Network, which makes it possible to reach the customer's final destination with the service. In general, Telefonica Wholesale's policy is to have the widest variety of local access providers co-located at Telefonica Wholesale's PoPs and to be able to offer customers the required connectivity to the final destination.
