Private Line Services Overview
Private Line is a digital network service that provides the transmission path for private digital data lines and supports simultaneous, two-way transmission of voice, data, video, or any signal that can be encoded digitally - in any combination - over dedicated terrestrial or satellite channels.
Local Private Line provides a dedicated circuit between two locations in the same metropolitan area
Voice grade and analog data speeds of 9.6 kbps, 56 Kbps and digital transmission at speeds ranging from 9.6 kbps, 56 Kbps, T1, Channelized DS1, E1, DS3, OC3c, OC12c, OC48c, OC192c, Ethernet and STM-1/STM-4
International Private Line Service provides digital, end-to-end connections between U.S. and non-U.S. locations. Circuits can be land-based or provided by satellite in countries where the local infrastructure is not available
Private Line Services: Qwest
Private Line Transport (PLT) Voice Grade (VG)- V3.0: Qwest
Private Line Transport (PLT) Voice Grade (VG) circuits have a bandwidth of 300-3000 hertz (Hz) that is designed to meet certain specifications based on Qwest standards of measurement for voice transmission, data transmission, remote metering, telephoto, and miscellaneous signaling purposes. Such identification is not intended to limit a customer's use of the circuit or imply that the circuit is limited to a particular use. These circuits are not suitable for transmission of direct current pulses. The number of stations that may be connected and the distance over which transmission is possible may be limited by operating and transmission factors. Circuits are furnished as either two-wire or four-wire on a two-point or multipoint basis.
Metro Private Line: Qwest
Qwest Metro Private Line (QMPL) provides competitively priced metro private lines at speeds ranging from DS-1 to OC-192. Customers can connect two or more locations within the same metropolitan area with QMPL high quality, reliable and scalable service. Qwest also connects metropolitan networks to our international backbone to meet long distance and Internet needs. Qwest enables customers to extend their network reach within 42 metros across the U.S.
