Product Details

EMBARQ OptiPoint is a SONET-based, fiber-optic, point-to-point synchronous data transmission service available at OC3 (155.52 Mbps), OC12 (622.08 Mbps), OC48 (2488.32 Mbps) and OC192 (9953.28 Mbps) terminating bit rates. EMBARQ OptiPoint provides an economical and efficient solution for transporting complex audio; motion video; numerical, graphical and textual data; and voice communication between locations and enables high bandwidth capacity using SONET technology over the EMBARQ fiber-optic network. Additionally, this service offers maximum transmission speed with a standard optical interface, and makes flexible design alternatives and bandwidth allocation possible.

EMBARQ OptiPoint provides electronics that automatically activate in case of primary electronics failure. A point-to-point service, EMBARQ OptiPoint provides for four fibers in the same sheath. You have the option of providing compatible terminating equipment at your premises for a reduced rate, and OptiPoint can be configured in a variety of ways, based on your requirements.

EMBARQ OptiPoint is available with one-, three- and five-year pricing options. Non-recurring installation charges do NOT apply to three- and five-year pricing agreements.

Here's How it Works:

Business Applications

• Allows for the transport of voice, data and images at ultra-high speed transmission rates.
• Creates network efficiencies and cost savings for businesses with multiple lower speed services between two locations.
• Provides vastly improved reliability of communication transmissions.
• Delivers the reliability and stability of the EMBARQ network, without a significant investment in new fiber.
