Features

Dedicated Long Distance service is a dedicated point-to-point digital data service that transmits at speeds of Fractional T1 and higher directly connected to the Inter-Exchange Carrier. Service providers, which include IXCs, ILECs, and resellers, provide various options for monitoring, diagnostic capabilities, and transmission privacy. Dedicated Long Distance service is designed to transmit voice from end user to service provider; therefore, the signal is high quality, very reliable, and secure.

The pricing structure usually consists of two components: (1) transmission speed and (2) a fixed rate for central office termination (a.k.a. access charge or local loop). The service providers usually bill these charges monthly.  The table below shows the transmission rate options for private line service.

Sample Applications

Dedicated Long Distance, as the name indicates, denotes digital Long Distance facility purchased by a customer, used exclusively by that customer, for their purposes. A dedicated line in this instance is used to provide inbound or outbound long distance.
