Network Services

Navigating the complex landscape of today’s telecommunication services requires a clear understanding of the fundamental roles each service plays in a network. These services can be broadly categorized into three main types: Access, Connectivity and Routing.

ACCESS SERVICES: This is the "on-ramp" to the network. An access service is the physical or virtual connection that links a customer's location (like an office or data center) to the Internet.

• Shared Access Services: Multiple users share the same network infrastructure, spectrum, or bandwidth to access resources.

  • • Fiber to the Internet (FTTI):  High-speed Internet access from the end user's premises to the Internet using shared fiber optic facilities. 

    • Prepaid Business Internet: High-speed Internet service designed to transfer large files, host e-commerce websites, utilize cloud-based applications, and engage in video conferencing, among other data-intensive operations. 

• Dedicated Access Services: High-speed Internet access from the end user's premises to the Internet using dedicated optical fiber facilities.

  • • Dedicated Internet Access (DIA):  High-speed Internet access from the end user's premises to the Internet using dedicated optical fiber facilities.

CONNECTIVITY SERVICES: This is the "highway" that connects different points on the network. A connectivity service provides a dedicated or shared path for data to travel between two or more locations. It's about establishing a link, not necessarily directing the traffic.

• Shared Connectivity Services:

  • • Switched E-Line + Service:  Shared access and priority routing for Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). 

    • Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL):  Shared virtual circuits and priority traffic routing for interLATA WAN connectivity – between WANs. [Metro/National] 

    • Transparent LAN Services (TLS):  Shared virtual circuits and priority traffic routing for intraLATA LAN and MAN connectivity – within LANs and WANs. [Metro/Regional] 

• Dedicated Connectivity Services:

  • • Private Line Service: Dedicated, broadband connection to the internet for smaller businesses. 

    • Dedicated E-Line Service:  Dedicated virtual circuits and priority traffic routing for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connectivity – like a private tunnel. 

    • Optical Networking Service: Dedicated virtual circuits and priority traffic routing for intraLATA LAN and MAN connectivity. [Metro/Corridor] VzON.

    • Ethernet Private Line Service:  Dedicated, point-to-point network connectivity for data transport between two specific locations for interLATA WAN connectivity. 

• Wavelength Connectivity Services: Dedicated, high-bandwidth connectivity between port addresses for data-intensive applications. Backed by service level agreements (SLAs). For datacenter connectivity. 

• Secure Cloud Interconnect (SCI): Provides a secure, private, dedicated and scalable connection to multiple cloud providers, not limited to Equinix environments.  Works in tandem with Verizon's Private IP network. 

• Software Carrier Interconnect: Provides a virtual, on-demand connection to Verizon's network, creating a dedicated-like experience that is more flexible and faster than a physical circuit. Instead of a physical cross-connect, SDI uses a software-defined approach to quickly activate a virtual loop to your infrastructure within an Equinix data center.  This service provides a network connection between Verizon and other telecommunications carriers.

• Software Defined Interconnect (SDI): SDI provides a virtual, dedicated-like connection that is established on-demand over a software-defined network, separate from the public internet, for services like connecting to cloud providers or data centers. It's a more agile and cost-effective alternative to dedicated ci. It’s a modern alternative to traditional private lines. 

• SDI Equinix Cloud Access: Provides dedicated, private, and secure connections to cloud service providers (CSPs). It uses the Equinix Fabric to create virtual circuits over a private network, offering a faster and more direct alternative to connecting over the public internet. Connects Verizon's network (including services like Private IP) to Equinix's Cloud Exchange Fabric. Connectivity to over 200 Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) globally located within Equinix IBX data centers.

ROUTING SERVICES: This is the "traffic control" of the network. A routing service uses protocols and logic to direct data traffic along the most efficient path.

• Private IP (PIP):  A virtual private network (VPN) service that provides businesses with cloud-based secure and reliable connectivity for voice, data, and video applications, using MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) technology. 

• Internet Dedicated Services: These services, while providing access, also manage the routing of data traffic to and from the Internet.

• Inbound Voice Services: Inbound voice services, such as toll-free numbers, are a routing service. The primary function is to intelligently route incoming phone calls to the correct destination based on pre-defined rules (e.g., time of day, location of the caller, etc.). 

• Outbound Voice Services: Outbound Voice Services are the tools and solutions that allow businesses to make outgoing calls to customers, prospects, and other destinations, including long-distance and international calls.

• Data Center Colocation:  A service that allows businesses to rent secure, dedicated space within Verizon's data centers to house their own server and network equipment.
