ATM integrates voice, video, and data over a single local-area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN)
Integrate your many networks into one, with AT&T ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) service. ATM integrates voice, video, and data over a single local-area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN). ATM service can support:
- Any number of users
- Any type of information
- Virtually any service, using multiple speeds and protocols
AT&T ATM service is a switched-data technology with a difference:

- Speeds ranging from DS1 to OC12
- Simultaneous transmission of different data speeds and protocols
- Meets multiple established Quality of Service standards
- Only proven transfer medium that can support any traffic type
Features
- High-speed data transmission, especially among widely distributed locations
- Data transmission at native-mode LAN rates
- Voice, video, data, and e-mail over a single transport medium
- Scalable to various bandwidths, speeds, number of users and locations
Benefits
- Control your network costs. Managing one network instead of several can help you reduce staffing, maintenance, and billing requirements.
- Enhance performance over WANs. With LAN-like performance, WANs become virtual LANs. Users at remote sites become more productive as they access corporate information from their desktops, fast and efficiently.
- Grow your network while being cost-effective. AT&T ATM service is based on a point-to-point switched architecture that uses bandwidth so efficiently you can add locations without decreasing the bandwidth available at each location.
- Handle new applications affordably. With support for diverse traffic types and quality of service guarantees for diverse performance requirements, ATM service handles demanding multimedia applications.
- Make use of your current equipment. ATM can be implemented as a network technology (backbone to existing technologies) or as an equipment upgrade.
