The Online World Helps Make Everything Of People More Convenient

Qwest Optical Wavelength Service (OWS) is a dedicated, cost-efficient connection that allows businesses with highly concentrated data applications and data centers to communicate and transport large amounts of data between one another over both short as well as long distances.

Implemented over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, Qwest Optical Wavelength Service provides flexibility and can adapt to virtually any architecture, including linear, mesh or ring. In addition, Qwest’s broad US wavelength infrastructure enables a comprehensive range of technical capabilities and the lowest cost per unit for transport data.

Benefits
Cost-efficient, high capacity data transport All connections are 100% dedicated to solely to your business Framing and interfaces are highly standardized, and have proven to be reliable for years Connections must be made physically, therefore the Qwest Network Operations Center can easily detect any intrusion or hacker
Features
Fully transparent Diversity provided upon request Protected and unprotected options Available speeds of 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps Select from the metro or long haul wavelengths Local access is offered via leasing wavelengths from ILECs or CLECs or using on-net facilities Supports Synchronous Digital Hierarchy and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) framing
How it works

Qwest’s OWS is implemented over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment for intra-city and intercity applications. OWS offers bi-directional 2.5 Gbps (OC-48) and 10 Gbps (OC-192) with high-speed, unprotected and protected wavelength options. Qwest’s nationwide wavelengths infrastructure enables a broad range of technical capabilities and the lowest cost per unit for transport of data. Our OWS approach provides flexibility and can be adapted to almost any architecture (ring, mesh, or linear).

Qwest’s OWS supports the following three types of connections:
OCONUS and Non-domestic Wavelengths. Qwest supports wavelengths on individual case basis that may be part of an end-to-end service or a stand-alone connection through the ocean as illustrated below. An end-to-end wavelength service will drop and pick up traffic from and to cities on different continents, as required by your Agency. Qwest will provide backhaul services where necessary. Qwest will provide a single point-to-point, bi-directional wavelength service connection two Agency sites located in different countries. CONUS Wavelengths. Quest will support wavelengths over its long-haul network. This is applicable for inter-city connectivity within the United States. Qwest will provide backhaul services where necessary. Metro Wavelength Services. Qwest supports the provisioning of wavelength over its metro networks. Qwest supports single point-to-point, bi-directional wavelengths connecting two Agency sites.
