Global Crossing Offers Private Line Hub Service

Global Crossing introduced "OneConnectPrivate Line", a flexible, flat-rate, high-bandwidth "fan out" solution with global reach. The service us a fully private and secure Layer 2 core network solution for enterprises that need dedicated private line global connectivity in a hub-and-spoke model but with the cost savings of a shared VPN network.



Global Crossing OneConnect Private Line service enables a customer to connect to Global Crossing's worldwide network via DS3/E3 to OC48/STM16 access from a single location or hub and to "fan out" connections to other global locations with variable bandwidth options including T1/E1, DS3/E3, OC3/STM1 and OC12/STM4 interfaces. OneConnect service is available today to customers at a flat monthly rate, exclusive of endpoint local access charges.



Target customers include broadcast media, governments, research and educational groups, and other enterprises seeking to expand or consolidate existing hub-and-spoke wide-area networks.



OneConnect runs on Global Crossing's worldwide optical network, interconnected with Global Crossing's MPLS-based IP network.
