Wave Wavelength Services are point to point or point to multi-point layer 1 circuits that are dedicated to the customer of record and transported between customer-specified locations. They are provisioned to operate at a customer-specified speed (in bits per second) and use a customer-specified standards-based layer 1 transport protocol (e.g. Ethernet PHY, OTN, SONET) for their handoff. Wave circuits, at Verizons discretion, may consume an entire Wavelength on Verizons shared or dedicated transport networks. A Wave circuit may also be OTN multiplexed with other circuits within the electrical stream that is converted to an optical signal on a Wavelength over Verizons network. Individual Wave circuits do not mix packets from multiple customers (no packet aggregation or packet switching).
III. FEATURES AND OPTIONS:
1. Web Digital Reconfiguration Services (Web DRS). As of November 1, 2011, Web DRS is no longer available to new Customers. Web DRS provides Customers with a web-based platform to manage the configuration of their U.S. Private Line circuits, connecting or re-routing circuits as needed using the following Web-based tools:
1.1 Switched DS1 Services (Web DRS SWDS1). Web DRS SWDS1 allows Customers to temporarily access full DS1 bandwidth on demand, for example for infrequent high bandwidth applications such as video conferencing. It is available for DS1 only. Web DRS SWDS1 uses a mesh network of Inter Device Trunks (IDTs) that connects strategic Wideband Digital Cross Connnects (DXCs) in the U.S. Mainland. Tail circuits connect Customer to the Switched T1 Wideband DXC. Using the Web DRS tool, Customer selects any two Customer end points for a connection. Usage charges apply only for the time the connections are active. The connections can be enabled at the time of the request or they can be scheduled to go up and down at a later time.
1.2 Fixed Network Reconfiguration Service (Web DRS FNR). Web DRS FNR allows Customer to redirect its DS0, DS1 or DS3 bandwidth when they temporarily need additional capacity at another location for applications such as disaster recovery. .Web DRS FNR uses a fixed network of multiple pre-defined Customer circuit routes connected to a single DXC. Using the Web DRS tool, Customer may change the route to which the current Customer capacity is assigned and reassign that capacity to a different circuit route.
2. Echo Control. Echo Control provides echo cancellation equipment for DS1 circuits. Echo cancellation devices monitor an incoming signal and generate a negative image which is combined with an echo signal negating the effects of echo on the line. Echo Control is required for each end of a DS1 circuit for IXC lengths of 500 miles or greater when used to transmit voice and analog data.
3. Wave Optional Features (ICB):
3.1 Protected Access Optional protection for the type 1 on-net access circuit is offered where supported by the network in a MPL Optical Wave VZB IXC POP to Customer Connection arrangement per the Metro Private Line Access Service in the Guide. Protection is via Electronic Network Protection, which protects against electronics module failures when the network supports two degrees of freedom from the customer premises location to the LD POP. Diversity between the working channel and the dedicated protect channel is not guaranteed but provisioned where the shared Verizon metro transport network supports it. The switching time objective is less than 50 ms after systematic fault detection. The optional feature is ICB priced.
3.2 Protected IXC Transport Uses Y-cable based 1+1 automatic protection switching between a working channel and a dedicated protect channel. It protects against electronics module failures and some fiber outages, as the diversity of the working and protect channels is provisioned as the existing IXC transport network supports it. The switching time objective is 50 ms after systematic fault detection. The service and circuit-specific terms in the USPL Service Attachment will specify the IXC POP to POP logical level of diversity for the working and protect paths that is to be provisioned and maintained for the term of the service. The optional feature is ICB priced.
3.3 Mandatory Route The IXC transport of a single circuit may be optionally contracted as fixed routing for the term of the service. The granularity of the routing to be provisioned and maintained is at the (logical) IXC POP to POP level. The service and circuit-specific terms in the USPL Service Attachment will specify the IXC POP to POP logical level of Mandatory Routing of the IXC transport that is to be provisioned and maintained for the term of the service. The optional feature is ICB priced.
3.4 Route Diversity - The IXC transport of a pair of circuits may each be optionally contracted as fixed routing for the term of the service. The granularity of the routing to be provisioned and maintained is at the (logical) IXC POP to POP level. The service and circuit-specific terms in the USPL Service Attachment will specify the IXC POP to POP logical level of the IXC transport that is to be provisioned and maintained for the term of the service for each of the two circuits. The feature is limited to a pair of circuits. The optional feature is ICB priced.
