QWEST INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE LINE SERVICES

Private Lines For Private Data

Sleep well knowing your company's international communications system is up and running and unauthorized users cannot access your private information. Private Line services can give you peace of mind that your internal traffic is transmitted securely and quickly on an end-to-end private connection. If you are looking to maximize investments made in your domestic network and you want to expand globally, Qwest® International Private Line Services and network capabilities can meet your needs.

EXTEND YOUR GLOBAL REACH - AVAILABILITY

Qwest International Private Line Service provides international connectivity between the United States and major cities around the world. Asia-bound circuits pass through Qwest's West Coast gateway for trans-Pacific transport and termination on the Qwest AsiaLink network. Available coverage includes Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo. Qwest also offers Private Line services to Europe and to additional countries around the world through strategic relationships. Service into these locations is provided to Qwest by third party Global Service Providers that have award-winning global networks and long-standing business relationships with Qwest.

SECURE, FAST, FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS

Speed, power, flexibility, and the bandwidth required to accommodate today's key business applications are among the advantages available to you via Qwest International Private Line Services. Significant benefits include:

• Security: Fiber optic synchronous optical network (SONET) and synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)-protected circuits are highly resistant to tampering—providing an extra level of security and restorability.
• Reliability: High standards of accuracy and system availability, including 99.95 percent availability for point of presence (POP)-to-POP service. Monitoring of a single circuit—rather than multiple dedicated lines—can make it faster to diagnose problems.
• Expandability: The service is designed to be flexible, so transmission capabilities can readily expand to meet changing requirements. Multiple DS-1s and DS-3s can be upgraded to high-speed services quickly and easily.
• Cost-effectiveness: Competitively priced solutions specifically designed to meet your requirements. Fixed-amount billing simplifies budgeting; no sudden increases associated with variable-cost plans.

Service is available to all destinations at DS-1 (1.5 Mbps) and DS-3 (45 Mbps) levels. To Europe and Asia, service is also available at the E-1 (2 Mbps) level. To many destinations, OC-3/STM-1 (155 Mbps) speeds are also available. Further, intra-Europe we can offer E-1 and DS-3 services. OC-12/STM-4 (622 Mbps) speeds are also available to certain destinations on an individual case basis. Availability of speeds varies by service location.
