| Many
organizations use separate networks for voice, data and video applications because each
pathway has different characteristics. But multiple networks can be costly and difficult
to manage. BellSouth BusinessSM Advanced
Telecommunications Service (ATS) consolidates these separate networks onto a single,
high-speed connection with specific Quality of Service parameters for each traffic type.
This power service lowers your network costs by increasing your capacity and throughput
per dollar of investment. BellSouth
BusinessSM ATS is a family of advanced networking
technologies coupled with flexible and cost-effective network management service options
that can be customized to meet your specific needs and requirements. Management services
can be purchased separately or packaged with BellSouth-provided network equipment to
handle any of your key network components, including access, backbone, hubs and gateways.
The BellSouth Business organization can also provide service coordination with other
carriers and network equipment vendors so that you get everything you need from one
reliable source — a reliable source you've trusted with your communications needs for
years.
Features:
- Configuration and staging
management: Address information, routing table definition, routing protocol support and
other programming necessary to ensure the proper management of customer premises equipment
(CPE) at installation.
- Installation management: Install
your own CPE, or BellSouth can do it for you, whichever you prefer.
- Monitoring and management: BellSouth
monitors, administers and configures service connections to ensure network integrity from
all your locations through the network to an ATS point-of-presence.
- Trouble isolation and resolution: A
single point-of-contact for non-applications and network-oriented fault management,
including coordination of BellSouth and vendor resources and customer trouble statusing.
- An advanced networking platform:
Increased bandwidth delivery to users across the backbone networking.
- DS1 to OC12 transport speeds:
Achieved through an integrated frame relay/ Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networking
topology.
- Bandwidth-on-demand: For data
applications using fast packet and advanced router transport technologies.
- Flexible/robust connectivity: For
multiple protocols.
- Gateway services: For Internet
access and private/public network interfaces.
- Standards-based interfaces: For
multiple CPE vendors.
Benefits:
- Enhances your communications
capabilities while increasing network efficiency.
- Helps you achieve access and
transport scale economies by collapsing multiple networks onto a single WAN
infrastructure.
