Put Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) service on your network and watch customers line up to sign up for your fast packet services. ATM broadens your network capacity. You can offer customers multiple classes of service for high-speed LAN interconnection, voice, video and multimedia applications using Verizon's infrastructure.
ATM's high-bandwidth, fast packet, cell-based switching and multiplexing technology migrates many protocols onto one access line. A choice in bandwidth options lets you support a few customer applications and grow as your business does, offer a full range of services or connect for capacity somewhere in between. Regardless of where you start with ATM, customer traffic moves fast and efficiently to multiple destinations while revenue flows to your bottom line.
ATM switching units are provisioned in select serving wire centers. ATM networks are formed by linking ATM switches with trunks patterned to traffic flow. You access the network via port cards mounted in the ATM switching platforms and physical access channels.
Verizon's interfaces conform to national and international ATM standards. Additionally, we maintain network operational standards for cell loss ratios, latency and traffic shaping to assure optimum performance.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Network Service is a form of 'fast packet' switching service for high speed networks which require flexible bandwidth, high-performance transport and switching for connectivity between and among widely distributed customer locations. ATM is a cell-based, connection-oriented, switching and multiplexing technology designed to be a fast, general-purpose transfer mode for multiple services.
Effective as of May 9, 2007, Verizon is grandfathering the ATM service in its FCC Tariff Nos. 1 and 20 (Tariffs). Last year, Verizon received forbearance from certain common carrier regulation for several packet-switched broadband services, as well as non-TDM-based optical networking, optical hubbing, and optical transmission services (Forbearance). In accordance with this Forbearance relief, Verizon will now offer a service comparable to ATM under a private carriage arrangement.
Following the grandfathering of ATM in the Tariffs, if you wish to place any new orders for ATM, you will need to enter into a private carriage arrangement with Verizon for a comparable service. Subject to certain terms and conditions, you may make certain changes to your existing ATM under the Tariffs. For a full description of all permitted changes, if any, please refer to the Tariffs.
