Long distance channels

• Digital clear channel lines

• Ukrtelecom is Network operator

• E1 to E3 or ATM over STM155

• Channel speed from 64 KBPS at start and up to 2 MBPS

• Special price for budget organization (<2.4 times)

5

Internet connection

• Main symmetrical IP connection over Ukrtelecom

• Bandwidth from 64 KBPS at start and up to 2 MBPS

• Multichannel connection with downstream over satellite

• Asymmetrical bandwidth (4:1)

User connection solutions (2)

• Short range synchronous modems based on HDSL technology

• Leased tonal channels for long distance user connections

• Microwave channels

• Ethernet bridges

10

Equipment
