Digital Data Services

Overview

Distortion Free -- Revenue Rich

Increase your earnings and eliminate weak signals with Verizon's Digital Data Services. Service providers improve communications and send them faster over our dedicated lines.

Offer signal reliability to your customers. Digital circuits transfer data at 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 56 and 64 Kbps without a modem. Split circuits for multiple voice grade channels. Or, bridge multi-point circuits to connect three or more locations.

In connection with this Special Access Service, we also offer Inside Wire Services which you can order on behalf of your end user customer. Click on the link to review the specific terms and conditions for the Inside Wire Services.

How It Works

A CSU/DSU resides at each end of the network. Copper facilities carry the data as signals. The signals are regenerated at key points to reduce errors and provide clear transmission.

Benefits

Digital Data Services are reliable, secure and upgradable to DS1 or DS3 service.
Choose the amount of bandwidth that matches your needs. Use 56 Kbps as access for Frame Relay and other Verizon services. Our pricing plans give you and your customers flexible, economical solutions.
Digital Data lines are dedicated to you. Simply direct the connections where you need them to eliminate network congestion, dial-up delays and connection fees.

Applications

Digital Data Services provide high-quality voice and data transmission for data collection, updating files, retrieving information and Internet access.
The services are ideal for automated teller machines, lottery networks and connecting remote customer service representatives to a central database for handling inquiries.

DDS/DDSII

Description

Digital Data Service and DigiPath Digital Data Service (DDS) are low-cost, digital connections for transmitting simultaneous two-way synchronous data at speeds of 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2, 56 and 64 Kbps. Because DDS is digital, you avoid the distortion problems and weak signals common with analog. Your data reaches its destination faster and with greater reliability. DDS lines are dedicated, giving you direct connection between two or more locations or immediate access to the public network.

Availability

Digital Data Service and DigiPath Digital Data Services are available throughout the Verizon footprint. Please review the appropriate state and federal tariff for product availability:

Secondary Channel Capability Feature uses some bandwidth for network diagnostics to increase control over the network.
56 Kbps DDS II can be used as the access facility for Frame Relay, InfoPath Service and NRS (Network Reconfiguration Service)

Applications

Cost-effective digital transport
Reliable and secure communications
Digital circuits for data transfers without modems
Faster transfer of data due to high bit rates
Easy upgrades to DS1 or DS3 service with CO (Central Office) multiplexing option
Ability to transmit data without modems, saving end-users money and simplifying their communications

Detailed Information

All the technology needed to transmit data via DDS is contained in a single device, called the Channel Service Unit (CSU)/ Data Service Unit (DSU). A CSU/DSU sits at each end of the network at customer locations. DDS data travels along 4-wire copper lines in the form of signals, which are regenerated at key points in the path. This reduces error and ensures a clear transmission. By contrast, analog signals are merely amplified, meaning data can be lost and distortion noise increased to disastrous levels. DDS connects locations using dedicated lines, which means your transmissions will be the only traffic. Network congestion, dial-up delays and connection fees will no longer be a concern.
