For more information about getting the lowest price on an OC48 or OC192 Circuit, each with a Low Price Guarantee, from over 30 first-tier and top-tier carriers, from the agency that won the 2008 "Carrier of the Year" award at the National Telecom Association conference, please visit http://www.usavetelecom.com
Just two sizes down from the giant OC192 circuit, the OC48 provides most large-size companies with all the stability and robustness they need for data transmission. OC48 lines run at 2.5 gigabits per second and have been around long enough that plenty of architecture exists for it. This type of circuit makes an excellent communications and data backbone for companies with thousands of phone lines and a need for robust data transmission in both directions. OC48 circuits are faster than all OCx circuits below this level and are even faster than a gig Ethernet system.
OCx circuits are optical carrier cables, basically like gigantic T1 lines. These fiber optic systems are the true backbone of the internet, and the ultimate speed of the web is limited by the fastest commonly-used OC cable - OC192, just two steps up from OC48.
OC48 circuits are more than enough for most large businesses, hospitals and universities, even those spread across large campuses. With connection speeds that are lightning fast, OC48 lines can handle today's voice and data loads as well as ensure reliability and sturdiness no matter if there are thousands of sharing users.
For your medium-to-large company, or even your smaller business that transfers very large files or real-time data, the OC48 interface is relatively inexpensive. An OC48 circuit can easily serve even regional ISPs in some areas, making it the ideal choice.
The service contract with your OC48 carrier will include remote monitoring of your circuit at all times. These systems have a built-in redundancy for the occasions when there is some downtime, which isn't uncommon with a system this large. Long-distance education and remote medicine is a reality with the real-time transmission of video and music being feasible and reliable in an OC48 interface.
An OC48 line is a very complicated line and will take several months for complete installation and testing for most organizations. If your business has an older network system currently in place, you will most likely have to upgrade your existing WAN/LAN cabling, or just move to wireless systems. It's wise to wire for Ethernet if you are considering the installation of an OC48 as your networks backbone. Ethernet is quickly becoming the industry-standard for your OC trees.
