SMARTRing® Service is a dedicated, high-capacity network designed to provide
increased reliability and functionality via self-healing ring topology between multiple
customer locations and BellSouth central offices. This network consists of fiber routed
through local, alternate central office, intermodal and/or interoffice channel facilities
that transmit DS1, DS3, STS1, OC3 and/or OC12 channel services simultaneously over primary
and alternate paths between customer-designed locations and BellSouth central offices.
This ring topology continually
monitors service quality, detects any failure within the system, and automatically
self-heals around a point of failure to ensure that the flow of data continues between
locations within the network. If your business depends upon fast and reliable data
