Small Business Data Services

Business Frame Relay Service
AT&T Business Frame Relay Service offers you an affordable yet fast and flexible data transport option. Frame Relay is a connection-oriented packet mode service that enables you to transmit data at high speeds while achieving cost-efficiency and performance advantages over other architectures.
Sample Applications
- Share text, graphics, and other data over wide geographic areas
- Connect LANs, WANs, and other communications equipment at dial-up DS3 speeds
- Build a flexible network that can grow as your data transport needs increase.
Features
- Provides a fast, reliable alternative to dedicated lines
- Makes it easy to add or delete locations and modify sites
- Allows you to create your own routes and set up permanent virtual circuits-your own series of point-to-point virtual connections-throughout your network
- Provides better performance because it is based on X.25 LAPS standards yet doesn't require the error correction and control information overhead of the X.25 protocol
- Establishes a "nailed-up" connection between two locations in the network, allowing large variable-length frames to be sent back and forth with very little control information and validation at intermediate nodes
- Includes 24x7 network monitoring and maintenance
- Uses existing equipment
Benefits
