National Backbone

The US Net national backbone will connect major US cities with one of the fastest, most reliable connections available today. Customers will enjoy unparalled speed and security for all of their Internet applications.

US Net National Backbone

Technical Information
US Net
is building a national backbone.  When completed in 2002, the network will interconnect its major metropolitan service areas with a fault tolerant diversely routed 155 Mbps clear channel fiber backbone.  All Internet connectivity will be aggregated at MAE East, MAE West, ChiNap, and MAE Central, where it can be directly handed off to US Net's major peering partners.

Once completed, the US Net backbone will route and carry customer traffic across the US Net network, rather than route it directly to the public Internet in the originating city.  By carrying the traffic on its own network, US Net can handoff customer data closer to its destination, and in the case of businesses with offices in more than one US Net city, can provide end-to-end service to the customer.  The end-result is that less customer data traffic will have to traverse the public Internet.  This means fewer router hops, less congestion and a higher level of service for our customers.

Customers, regardless of size or service, will benefit from the US Net national backbone in one or more of three ways.  First, the backbone will enable the Company to offer new services such as IP Virtual Private Networks (IP VPN), long-haul private line services and Class Of Service (COS) features.  Second, it will enable customers to purchase services with Service Level Guarantees (SLA), wherein US Net will guarantee availability minimums and latency maximums for customers with mission critical applications.  Finally, it will enable US Net to reduce network costs, and thereby offer high-quality services to all of our customers at competitive prices.
