Bottomless bandwidth, limitless connectivity

With Sprint Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Service, you can communicate via data, voice, and video on a single dynamic network. Sprint ATM provides all the bandwidth you need for fast, reliable service.

Sprint ATM works for sophisticated service providers and enterprises needing high speed transport (higher than DS3) to consolidate intracompany voice, data, and video traffic while maintaining the highest level of network performance. Sprint ATM is a high bandwidth, fast-packet switching technology based on fixed-length cells of 53 bytes. ATM combines the statistical multiplexing efficiencies of packet switching with the low delay characteristics of circuit switching technologies. So voice and video can run on the same infrastructure as your data with little to no loss of quality.

Speed – Exchange information at speeds from DS1 to OC-12.
Reliability – Guaranteed end-to-end availability with the Sprint network.
Savings – Lower access costs by 50%.
Flexibility – Seamlessly integrate new applications to meet future demands.

Why migrate to Sprint ATM?

If you need more bandwidth or want to integrate voice, data, and video onto a single network, consider the advantages of Sprint ATM service.

Migrate to higher bandwidths as your requirements grow
DS1, NxDS1, DS3, OC-3c and OC-12 speeds available for each individual site
Connect anywhere in the domestic U.S. for the same price. Pricing is not distance-sensitive

Sprint ATM applications

Sprint ATM can open your network to a broad range of specialized applications, including:

CAD/CAM – Create sophisticated designs faster and more accurately (CAD); control manufacturing processes by computer (CAM).
Call Center – Combine technology, people, and facilities to manage end-customer telephone calls from a single business unit.
Computer Disaster Recovery – Retrieve operational systems, especially the mainframe and data, after power outages or other disasters.
Data Warehousing – Store data where access to it is client/server-based instead of terminal-to-host.
Distance Learning – Bring people together in a virtual classroom.
High-speed Imaging – Quickly transmit screens of data in an electronic format, such as photographs, x-rays, and other visuals.
LAN Internetworking – Link local area networks (LANs) so they can share in real time.
Large Database File Transfers – Transmit voice, video, and data from one database to another.
Multimedia – Integrate information contained in multiple forms – voice, video, image, and text – into a single application or document.
Online 3-D Virtual Reality – Transmit virtual reality from one location to another.
Private Branch Exchange (PBX) Voice Calls – Route on- and off-site voice traffic through equipment located on the customer's premises instead of through the telephone company's central exchange (CENTREX).
Resource Sharing – Enable users on a LAN or wide area network (WAN) to use the same software peripherals or information.
Screen Sharing – Access on-screen data or graphics simultaneously from different locations.
Shared Workstation – Access high-end engineering work from workstations in different locations.
Supercomputer Access – Access a high-speed computer that uses advanced technologies such as simplified instruction sites, wide data paths, and pipelining.
Videoconferencing – Transmit live action interactively between 2 or more sites, usually for meetings or seminars.
