 Is OC3 Right for Your Company?
Written by: Dennis Green - Jan 6, 2009
OC3 circuits carry a bandwidth of 155.5 Mbps. OC3 (optical carrier) is the equivalent of three OC1s; each OC1 carries 51.85 Mbps. OC3 facilitates Voice over IP (VOIP), hosting web sites for very large companies, streaming audio and/or video, or video conferencing. OC3 carries enough bandwidth to supply most internet service providers. OC3 is often far more bandwidth than most companies need. For maximum efficiency and reduced cost, other options include:
T1 (1.54 Mbps),
fractional t1
(less than 1.54 Mbps),
integrated T1 (combination of voice and data),
bonded T1 (multiple T1 lines), burstable DS3 (T3),
T3 (45 Mbps), or
integrated T3 (DS3). Each of the services listed above has unique advantages. Which product is best suited for your company depends on your bandwidth applications and projected usage patterns. To check availability and/or pricing for any of the above mentioned service, please use the pricing tool at the top of this page. It’s easy to use, free, and without obligation.

Testimonials:
"I have to say that without VARNetwork, I could not find Argent Systems, Inc., a terrific Nortel dealers I have ever seen. One amazing thing was that it was just located around my company! Before I knew VARNetwork, it was not easy to find a certified Nortel dealer on the web. It was also not easy to find a qualified Nortel technician to install the Nortel BCM 20 with reasonable price. VARSearch engine, which is featured exclusively on the VARNetwork.com, changed the world! It saved me a lot time from searching a qualified Nortel dealer on the web and provided a result list which contained top 15 VARs I expected. I just simply emailed them what I needed and they replied to me with their prices in a very short time! Finally I selected Argent Systems, Inc., because they would offer me two years product warranty with the best price which was much lower than my budget!"
