LightLink (DS3)
Sprint's LightLink is a private-line, point-to-point
or multi-point service provided over fiber optic transmission
facilities. With LightLink, you get the functionality
of multiple private lines over one facility -- with
an aggregate speed of 44.736 Mbps. That's equal to 672
digital communication channels of 64 Kbps each, or 28
T1 lines!
LightLink is capable of providing multiple full-time,
dedicated voice, data and video connections for customers
requiring a large number of private lines and large
bandwidth. The channels can be used in varying amounts
of bandwidth for high-speed data and video applications,
such as:
- Integrating multiple voice, data and video T1 lines
- File transfer
- Full motion video conferencing
- Interactive database access
- CAD and imaging
- Electronic mail
- File transfer
- Resource sharing
Hardware Requirements
A fiber optic transmission system must be installed
between each connected location and that location's
serving central office. The DS3 channel can be terminated
on a special multiplexer, an M13. The M13 breaks the
DS3 channel into 28 DS1 channels. The individual DS1
channels can be further subdivided with channel banks
or other DS1 rate multiplexers.
