Qwest Communications has upgraded its nationwide fiber optic network with software-configurable, ultra-long-haul (ULH) technology, enabling end-to-end speeds scalable from 1 to 40 Gigabits per second.
Qwest said its upgraded national network is capable of providing:
- A dedicated broadband transport network without the capital investment and expense of owning and operating network infrastructure.
- Full availability of ultra-high-speed services with access points in all major U.S. business centers and extensive global connectivity.
- Faster service provisioning and increased agility with the ability to deploy, activate, reconfigure and manage traffic remotely.
- The ability to aggregate and transport traffic over standard communications interfaces including Ethernet and SONET.
Customers for Qwest “QWave” services provided via the high-capacity ULH network include U.S. Bancorp and Telefonica.
The ULH upgrade also supports continued scalability of Qwest IP services nationwide, and further augments ultra-high-bandwidth connectivity for customers to Qwest hosting centers.
