SONET/SDH

As one of our interconnection services, the Telx Virtual Exchange provides SONET-SDH-Ethernet translations which enable domestic U.S. and international networks to interconnect between American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Layer 1 Transport Standards within a switch fabric.  As a result, every service provider’s network is simplified. Global service providers in our carrier neutral colocation facilities are able to “speak” the same language, eliminating the need for additional “hubbing”, grooming and conversion equipment.

The SONET-SDH-Ethernet solution in Telx’s carrier neutral colocation and interconnection facilities includes:

  • Multiplexing & de-multiplexing circuits: The platform takes low speed circuits and multiplexes them into higher speed circuits or de-multiplexes a high speed circuit(s) into lower speed circuits.
  • Standards Translation & Interoperability: Converts one type of circuit into another (e.g., SDH to Sonet)
  • Technology Translation & Interoperability: Maps Ethernet to SONET circuits
  • Virtual Mediating Interconnectivity Circuits: Provides virtual software cross connects from one provider to another

Telx interconnection customer benefits:

  • Lowers capital and expense (e.g. no longer have to deploy and manage ADM equipment)
  • Cross connections can be done faster and on demand (24 hours assuming capacity is available).
  • High reliability configuration with 24x7 monitoring
  • Simplifies and optimizes network functions on a single platform
  • Provides for scalable point to multipoint interconnectivity at the physical/transport layer.

Telx Internet Exchange (TIE)

The Telx Internet Exchange (TIE) brings together regional IP networks from content providers and other networks onto a single, neutral, privately-owned network fabric. This increases performance and reliability for our customers due to reduced hop count and faster application response time through direct interconnection.  At the same time, TIE offers reduced cost compared to IP transit products.

In order to take advantage of the Telx Internet Exchange, clients must have a presence in one of our C³ Cloud Connection Centers™ and have a registered BGP AS number.  Additional specifications on the scalability of our solution can be found here.

NBS’s Telx Story
“Connecting to the growing number of content and service providers in the Internet Connect – IP Peering system simplifies complex service level interactions and allows us to leverage our continuing investment in IP and broadband technology.” said NBS’s CEO Jon Kaufman. “In our efforts to provide our end users with maximum flexibility, and service value, our Telx partnership allows us to pick and choose the carrier that makes the most sense for a particular application or location. As a result, less investment is needed to interconnect with our carrier partners and we are able to pass that savings along to our customers. Best of all, new carriers can be turned up virtually instantly,” added Mr. Kaufman.
