Overview

Central Office Connecitivty for Carriers and Service Providers

RCN Metro’s Central Office (CO) Access Service provides wholesale, high bandwidth SONET private line connectivity to key Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) COs for carriers and service providers serving the enterprise market. SONET private lines can support multiple service types including voice, data, and Internet access. RCN Metro offers SONET private line connectivity from OC-3 through OC-48 as well as electrical DS1s and DS-3s.

Carriers can connect to RCN Metro from their colocation within the CO or order ILEC services directly to the RCN Metro presence in the CO at the DS-3 level and above for virtual colocation.

RCN Metro’s CO Access Service is ideal for carriers and service providers who want to:

  • Aggregate traffic from their presence in the CO over RCN Metro’s fully protected SONET/DWDM network
  • Create a virtual presence in a CO by utilizing RCN Metro’s presence to aggregate traffic back to a central location/carrier hotel
  • Cross Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) boundaries with aggregated traffic via a single carrier

Benefits

  • Market Reach: Expand your market reach without having to colocate in every CO in every market by utilizing RCN Metro’s presence and interLATA backhaul capabilities. RCN Metro has a dense footprint spanning from Maine to Washington, DC and out to Chicago.
  • Capital Savings: Instead of investing time and capital in expensive network infrastructure, you can utilize RCN Metro's network infrastructure to build your network. Customers can leverage RCN Metro’s high-tech optical network as a low cost way to aggregate traffic from the CO and backhaul over RCN Metro’s regional or long-haul network.
  • Tandem Access: RCN Metro has established connectivity to many of the key ILEC tandems in each market.
  • Availability: RCN Metro’s network is available today connecting to more than 120 COs throughout the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions and out to Chicago.
  • Customer Support: 24x7 network monitoring and trouble resolution.
  • Flexibility: RCN Metro can provide an end-to-end solution for DS-1 and above providing circuit provisioning and management. The demarcation can be at your end user location or at a CO with you controlling last mile access.
