DTS – Dedicated SONET Ring

Overview

Dedicated SONET Ring (DSR) is a customized self-healing SONET ring designed to meet the customer's specific requirements for bandwidth, traffic patterns, service locations and anticipated growth. DSR is a dedicated, high-capacity, private transport network, interconnecting multiple customer locations within the Verizon network. Because it is a self-healing ring solely dedicated to the transfer of a customer's traffic, it provides the customer with high levels of survivability in the event of a facility or SONET-based equipment failure.

Benefits
 

• Multiple Services – Single Backbone. Customers are able to run TDM, Ethernet Private Line (EPL), and switched Ethernet services over the same DSR backbone.
• Flexibility. DSR provides flexible native Ethernet connections to Ethernet Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).
• Multiple Endpoints. Customers are able to reach multiple endpoints from a single UNI (E-LAN).
• WAN/LAN Functionality. Ethernet services create an optical WAN/LAN within the customer’s DSR .

Features
 

• Feature Rich. SONET-based services have the following features:
  • Survivability: DSR is installed over a resilient, dual-fiber ring architecture.
  • Reliability: DSR provides highly available and reliable service.
  • Fully managed Verizon solution: DSR service is monitored 24x7.
  • Fully dedicated service: Both the facilities and ADM nodes are fully dedicated.
  • Multi-service platform: DSR facilitates network convergence by providing the ability to bundle a variety of interfaces on one fiber backbone (IP and TDM).
  • Integrated Ethernet multi-point capability: The Ethernet switching capability of Ethernet Packet Ring Service (EPRS) enables multi-point connectivity via bandwidth allocated between locations on the DSR.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Verizon Business offers flexible bandwidth and pricing options with term discount plans.
• Scalability: DSR can meet current and future bandwidth requirements with no forklift upgrades required.
