Getting Connected to OC3 from your DS3 and T3 Lines
If you’re now connected with either T3 or DS3 Lines and you also feel shifting for much bigger bandwidth and high speed internet connection, you can also upgrade to OC3. Trunk Level 3 fast connection is running though DS3/T3 or what is also known as Digital Signal Level 3. It can transmit to a speed data of 44.7 million bits per second (mbps) using at least a two-way directions. For your proper understanding, Data Service Level 3 or Digital Service Level 3 is also the name given to DS3/T3 used by internet service providers (ISPs). It is also used by big businesses for their main trunk connections to the internet. It is capable of servicing 672 data and voice channels working hand in hand in parallel network connection of at least 64 kbps each. When you use the DS3 Technology, it can transmit signals at the rate of 44.736 megabits per second. It is able also to play full video and handle very large database.
DS3 is capable of taking care of even the most bandwidth-intensive applications by simply increasing data transmission to 43-45 mbps. DS3 Line cards can be used also to maximize the performance of DS3 services, helping the Gigabit switch router (GSR) and enabling this to stay connected to DS3. These cards are electrical-based networking solution, while the so-called OC12 lines cards are able to work through the most sophisticated fiber optic system.
The deployment of 3G wireless wide area network (WAN) service, as well as the router integrated 3G wireless WAN interface, the DS3 technology has brought remarkable change in Trunk Level Internet service. If you use the ordinary residential modem, transmitting data using the Trunk Level Internet service will provide you with unlimited, secure and bulk amount of data transfer at the shortest possible time.
DS3 WAN cards work through high-speed performance for Wireless Controller (WLCM), supporting at least 12 wireless access points in simul time. Data service level 3 card is also able to transmit high quality voice data using the WAN system. It is sure to improve productivity and reduce the average cost of your company.
OC3stands for Optical Carrier 3, and it is able to determine the speed of fiber optic networks and also able to work on the so-called Synchronous Optical Networks (SONET). OC3 also includes the combination of signals to transmit digital signals using the optical fibers. OC3 is known for its superb efficiency of 51.84 million bits per second. Other OC levels use the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) in order to have better performance. Internet service providers (ISPs), ASP, and content providers, including big enterprises using huge servers generally need optical career lines. Those having large amount of data to transmit such as universities, airport complexes, video parlors, casinos, high-tech research institutions also use the OC3. The speed of OC3 is 155Mbps, which is equivalent to three DS3s or three T3s, or 100 T1s. OC12, on the other hand, is capable of transmitting data at 622 million bits per second, equivalent to 14 T3s or DS3s.
