OC3, OC12, OC48, OC192
Trumpet OC3, OC12, 2xOC12, OC48, and OC192 point-to-point private line solutions provide secure, reliable and cost-effective primary and redundant data transport.
Trumpet's OCx fiber circuits allow companies, organizations, government agencies, and research institutions to increase the effectiveness of their centralized IT resources and enhance the viability of SaaS, VoIP, IP PBX, streaming video and emerging IP WAN-enabled technologies.
Top-Tier Telecommunications and Microwave Carriers With Value Pricing
Trumpet utilizes ultra high-capacity SONET and 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical fiber networks of top-tier Internet providers, such as AT&T, Verizon Business/MCI, Qwest, XO Communications, Global Crossing, Level 3, and Sprint.
Trumpet also designs and installs custom microwave networks and utilizes the existing networks of leading microwave carriers to provide secure, reliable microwave links up to and even beyond OC48 speeds.
By selecting the least-cost OCx fiber and microwave options from among a wide range of quality carriers, Trumpet's customers benefit from competition between carriers and technologies. This permits Trumpet to provide superior quality and value in head-to-head competition with other providers.
Tailored Service Options
Trumpet tailors its service to each customer's individual needs. For OCx service, this can include offering “burstable” services.
Trumpet's burstable OCx service is designed for customers requiring full OCx speeds on only a periodic basis. Our customer pays for a relatively low bandwidth (as low as 10 Mbps for an OC3 connection, for example), and the circuit automatically delivers full OCx speeds (up to 155 Mbps for an OC3) when required for peak demand.
Fractional, or tiered, OCx connections permit Trumpet to provision an OCx for secure use by several customers simultaneously. Fractional OCx connections are ideal for businesses whose bandwidth requirements are expected to grow over the near term.
Trusted Adviser
Trumpet's broad range of solutions coupled with its technology-neutral stance, permits Trumpet to focus on providing the best overall value for its customers, rather than pushing a particular carrier network or transport technology. This allows Trumpet to be a trusted advisor and consultant to its customers, developing long-term business relationships by providing superior value and service.
Monitoring
In addition to the carriers' network monitoring, Trumpet provides 24x7 LAN/WAN device health and performance monitoring and reporting.
About OCx
OC is short for “Optical Carrier.” OC connections conform to the SONET/SDH ANSI standard, which permits global connectivity.
OC connections provide the following symmetrical data transmission rates:
Also available is Gigabit Ethernet
OCx circuits have the capacity to support thousands or tens of thousands of individual users. For example, an OC3 circuit can handle thousands of simultaneous VoIP conversations or provide bi-directional gigabit file transfers in very few seconds.
OCx pricing has two components: the local loop charge and the port charge. The local loop, or the last mile, is the cost of the Local Exchange Carrier access from your company's or agency's location to the main carrier network. This price depends on several factors, including the distance from the carrier network to your location. Trumpet's FCC-licensed microwave networks, and in some cases FSO, are particularly effective as last mile and local loop alternatives to leased or owned fiber.
