PPL Telcom’s Optical Wavelength Service is a point-to-point, unprotected, bi-directional circuit which provides a cost-effective and flexible alternative to dark fiber and high bandwidth traditional capacity services. With limited capital required and no expense associated with owning and operating an optical network infrastructure, our long-haul and metro optical waves offer solutions for businesses to quickly design their nationwide networks or supplement an existing network. By shifting the technology burden to us, you can avoid frequent and continuous upgrades to optical equipment and concentrate efforts on growing your core business.


FEATURES
• Choice of bandwidth levels.
• Overhead bytes are transmitted transparently — seamlessly and unchanged.
• Point-to-point, bi-directional, concatenated signal.
• Multi-vendor interoperability.
• Several protection options.
• Flexible contract terms.
• Available for metro and regional applications.


BENEFITS
• Complete SONET rings.
• Transmit ATM, IP and Ethernet over a Clear Channel.
• Lease optical waves immediately instead of building in expensive dark fiber.
• Add route diversity eliminating down time.
• Control your own protection.


BANDWIDTH SPEEDS
• Wavelengths are available at 1G, 2.5G and 10G speeds.


DWDM
Optical wave services utilize dense wavelength division multiplexing technology and multiplex optical signals at unique wavelengths, or “waves,” then transmit the composite signal over a single fiber. At the receiver, the composite signal is de-multiplexed and each unique optical wave signal is recovered.


PROTECTION OPTIONS
• Single Wave — Cost effective bandwidth that uses a single optical wave to provide unprotected point-to-point connectivity.
• Equipment Protect — A solution that uses two optical waves to provide equipment redundancy and protection.
• Route Protect — A solution that uses two diverse optical waves to provide maximum protection with route diversity.
