Service Providers, when your customers depend on powerful data capabilities, be ready with additional capacity they need. Verizon's IntelliLight Optical Transport Service (IOTS) is a private fiber-based facilities network that we design in accordance with your requirements and dedicate for your use in serving customers.
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology boosts IOTS-protected channels to deliver highly reliable survivability and provide rapid repair dispatch as well as flexibility, high capacity optical traffic patterns and spare capacity on demand. IOTS translates into advanced service offerings for your customers -- that can help increase revenue for your company.
IOTS provides dual functionality. Normal Routing combines dedicated fiber-based facilities and advanced DWDM equipment to connect multiple locations. Thus, there are no single points of failure from your customer's location to the point-of-presence. In the event of a disaster, Alternate Routing transports optically protected traffic around the trouble for maximum survivability without a reduction in bandwidth.
This service directs speed, reliability, bandwidth and capacity to customers -- and can help add revenue to your bottom line.

Effective as of February 15, 2007, Verizon is grandfathering the IntelliLight® Optical Transport Service (IOTS) in its FCC Tariff Nos. 1, 11, 14, and 16 (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 IOTS under a private carriage arrangement.
Following the grandfathering of IOTS in the Tariffs, if you wish to place any new orders for IOTS, or to renew or extend your existing IOTS 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 moves, additions, and changes to your existing IOTS under the Tariffs. For a full description of all permitted moves, additions, and changes, if any, please refer to the Tariffs.
