High bandwidth data circuits are the most cost effective solution for customers with moderate to large networks or bandwidth intensive applications, like video conferencing or extremely high volume internal web servers.

• Point-to-Point

Traditional Point-to-Point data circuits provide a direct circuit (dedicated wiring path) between the customer's location and the nearest Eagles Nest/CrossLink location. Since the circuit is dedicated, the customer always has a direct, full bandwidth connection to the Internet.
 
• Frame Relay

Modern high speed telephone company switching equipment now makes it possible to use Frame Relay data circuit technology to achieve the high speed, full bandwidth performance as a Point-to-Point data circuit at a fraction of the cost.

A Frame Relay data circuit is installed between the customer's site and the telephone company local "CO" (local equipment location). The telephone company uses modern high speed switching equipment to route traffic between the customer's "CO," and the "CO" serving the CrossLink POP site.

Frame Relay is less expensive because the telephone company can allocate resources (bandwidth and equipment) on demand instead of allocating the bandwidth and equipment to a full time Point-to-Point data circuit. This reduces the telephone company's operating cost, and the typical savings of between $200.00 and $300.00 a month, based on mileage, is passed on to the customer.

Reasons to use Eagles Nest Data Circuit Services
 

• CrossLink offers 56k, fractional T1 and T3, and full T1 and T3 data circuits. T1 data circuits are available in fractions of 128k, 256k, 512k and 768k. Any fractional T1 data circuit can be upgraded to a higher bandwidth within hours.

 
• Data circuits are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by the telephone company. Data circuits are considered a premium service and are quickly repaired should a problem ever occur.

 
• Data circuits offer faster response times, with up to a hundred times less latency than analog dial-in access.

 
• Data circuits are extremely efficient. Data is transmitted in frames of up to 4,000 bytes of data. Only 8 bytes of each frame is used for addressing and overhead. With other types of access, like ISDN, data is transmitted in smaller blocks and as much as twenty percent of bandwidth can be lost to addressing and overhead.

 
• We offer a complete single source turnkey data circuit solution. Eagles Nest''s data circuit packages include data circuit installation, support of the telephone company data circuit, bandwidth into the Internet, router, CSU / DSU, equipment setup and maintenance, equipment firmware upgrades, and Static IP addresses, as required.

 
• We order the customer's data circuit from the telephone company and coordinates installation. Installation of a data circuit usually requires between three and five weeks. Router installation, to provide TCP/IP via a 10BaseT Ethernet port, is scheduled for between one to three days after the telephone company installs the data circuit.

 
• We provide comprehensive support for all equipment provided by us, including configuration, maintenance, a replacement spare should the equipment ever fail, and any upgrades recommended by the manufacturer during the term of this agreement and any extensions thereof.

 
• We provide telephone technical support during normal business hours, and telephone access to the our Network Operations Center for any emergencies.

 
• We provide domain name registration paperwork and transfer processing paperwork for up to three domains at no charge. For additional domains, there is a fee of $20.00 per domain for domain name registration and transfer processing. A domain name registration fee of $70.00 for two years is billed by and is payable directly to Network Solutions (the domain name registration service). After two years, Network Solutions charges $35.00 per year per domain name.

Customer Data Circuit Responsibilities
 

• Customer must provide space and electric power for equipment to be installed at their location.

 
• Customer must provide a 10BaseT cable from a port on their network hub to the router.

 
• Customer is responsible for any telephone company time and material or other charges incurred if the data circuit must be extended within their location (inside wiring) because the router is to be installed more than three (3) feet from the telephone company termination point in their building (demarcation point).

 
• Customer is responsible for installing adequate memory in workstations, using a currently supported version of the Operating System, installing and configuring browser software on workstations, and training staff to configure and use browser and E-mail software. These services are usually provided by the customer's CrossLink reseller. These services are billed directly by and payable directly to the customer's CrossLink reseller.

After acknowledgment, a circuit order is placed with the telephone company.

If circuits in the customer's area have been pre-qualified, the telephone company responds with a circuit installation date in five to ten days. If circuits in the customer's area have not been pre-qualified, then the telephone company sales office sends the order to their provisioning department to determine if an existing circuit is available, or if a new one will need to be installed. The telephone company usually responds with an installation date within ten to fifteen days in areas where circuits were not pre-qualified. In rare instances, the telephone company does not have the facilities (equipment, wire, etc.) to install the circuit, and the circuit order can't be processed until the telephone company upgrades its facilities.

Actual circuit installation is usually scheduled between ten to fifteen days after the telephone company responds with an installation date. Total time to install most data circuits is usually three to five weeks.

Router installation and circuit testing are usually scheduled two to three days after the telephone company has installed the data circuit.

Order status can be checked by following the instructions which accompany the acknowledgment of receipt of the order.
