Central Office Access

Central office connectivity 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
