AT&T SMARTRing service is a dedicated, high-capacity network designed to provide increased reliability and functionality via self-healing ring topology between multiple customer locations and AT&T central offices.
This network consists of fiber routed through local, alternate central office, intermodal and/or interoffice channel facilities that transmit DS1, DS3, STS1, OC3 and/or OC12 channel services simultaneously over primary and alternate paths between customer-designed locations and AT&T central offices.
This ring topology continually:
- Monitors service quality
- Detects failure within the system
- Automatically self-heals around a point of failure
- Ensures that the flow of data continues between locations within the network

- Supports continuous performance monitoring
- Offers service arrangements to ensure all levels of performance
