If your business
depends upon fast data transport and is located in a high-traffic metropolitan area prone
to network congestion, BellSouth BusinessSM SMARTPath® Service is
the digital transmission service for you. This premium DS1 service is distinguished by a
high degree of reliability and survivability. SMARTPath® Service is unique
from other high-speed data services in its use of multiple rings to connect customers to
more than one serving central office — so your service is automatically rerouted if
there is a failure within a primary serving central office. SMARTPath®
Service's infrastructure is fiber-based and uses a self-healing architecture. This
provides both link and nodal protection in order to limit single points of failure. BellSouth BusinessSM
SMARTPath® Service is offered in high-density areas within key wire centers of
selected metropolitan areas. This seamless end-to-end service offers high levels of
redundancy and diversity to prevent a single service-impacting event from interrupting
your mission-critical data transport. SMARTPath® Service is monitored 24 hours
a day, seven days a week to ensure availability, error-free transmission, and service
continuity.
