@Link will build an MPLS optical network tying together client networks
to one of two network hubs located in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Dark
fiber will be leased between the meet point and the hub sites. As
a result of providing the core network, @Link will also provide
an IP digital head end for the delivery of video services; a facilities
point of presence to replace the RBOC transiting carrier for the
generation of transport revenue, as well as the ability to use the
same network for long distance and other services. The main lines
of business services are:
-
MPLS enabled network applications (@APPS) for
Oklahoma ILECs
-
Transiting hub for IXC’s offering service
to ILEC subscribers
-
Enterprise and CLEC services over other existing
reliable broadband connections in non-ILEC areas such as Cox Communications
and SBC.
@Link’s network will allow IOCs to enjoy
a number of advantages currently unavailable to them or otherwise
difficult for them to achieve individually, including: generate
additional new revenue, enable competitive strength, save capital
and operating dollars, deploy defensive strategies to combat intrusive
regulatory and competitive attacks.
By virtue of its core IP network, @Link can cost
effectively provide an alternative to traditional Bell terminated
traffic through its unique hubbing capability. @Link’s hubbing
product:
-
Subsidizes (in most cases pays for) the fiber
transport network connection necessary for video and data traffic.
-
Enables new revenue to its participating companies.
Instead of IXCs paying Bell for use of their network, @Link will
terminate traffic and distribute revenue normally received by
Bell to its participating companies.
@Link will also build a video headend and deliver
video-related (and triple-play) products and services for a host
of vertical markets. Because @Link’s capital and operating
expenses associated with these services are spread over several
IOC customers, New revenue is available to participating IOCs in
addition to competitive strength. Money is saved by the IOCs as
well since they are not required to carry the relative large capital
and operating expenses on their own for such services.
@Link also intends to provide special access services
that will translate to superior service quality, and increased capacity
private network access. Special access works off of the fiber-optic
and IP-centric network to provide service between a customer location
and a network service provider POP or between two service providers.
Key benefits include:
-
High capacity data transfer with guaranteed QoS
-
Alternative local access to long distance carrier
and other service provider networks at specific bandwidth rates
or traditional DS1, DS3 and OC-n capacities.
-
Network management support: offload certain network
creation and monitoring activities
-
Data storage and backup services: outsource storage
of vital files, disaster recovery
-
Enterprise services such as Virtual Private Networks,
Internet services, VoIP, IP-centrex
-
Retail Wi-Fi to non-member territories and enterprise
customers
-
Hosting member and non-member (Email and Web
hosting)
-
RADIUS Proxy Pass Through
-
PRI (dial-up traffic) Off Load and Collocation
