Dedicated IOF transport gives you exclusive use of the interoffice facility. It includes:
- DS1 service: Unbundled dedicated DS1 transport consists of a two-point digital channel, which provides for simultaneous two-way transmission of serial bipolar return-to-zero isochronous digital electrical signals at a transmission rate of 1.544 megabits per second (MBPS).
- DS3 service: Unbundled dedicated DS3 transport consists of a two-point digital channel, which provides for simultaneous two-way transmission of serial, bipolar, return-to-zero isochronous digital electrical signals at a transmission rate of 44.736 megabits per second (MBPS).
