Wavelength Service

SPECIFICATIONS

Connect to a pipeline with unsurpassed speed and capacity
Global Crossing Wavelength Service offers high-speed, PoP-to-PoP, linear, bi-directional data transmission. Bandwidth capacity can be scaled up easily by adding additional waves.


TRANSMISSION SPEEDS

  • 2.5 Gbps
  • 10 Gbps

PROTOCOL SUPPORT

SONET/SDH, IP, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet, and several other protocols that are still in development. (Subject to adherence to ITU-T and Telcordia standards for SONET/SDH framed signal.)

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE

Global Crossing Wavelength Service allows access to the Line and Path overhead bytes. These bytes will be transparent* through the Global Crossing network and can be used by customers to communicate between SDH/SONET ADMs, IP routers, or ATM switches.

ACCESS OPTIONS

Co-location, riser and mid-span meet.

PROTECTION OPTION

Customers can achieve path diversity by purchasing a second, geographically diverse Global Crossing Wavelength Service (at an additional cost). Protection can be achieved by implementing an equipment-based protection scheme (protection switching is the customer's responsibility).

NETWORK PLATFORMS

DWDM, SONET/SDH Framed

ITU-T and TELCORDIA Standards

  • 2.5 Gbps ITU-T G.707 G.957, G.692 and Telcordia GR253
