Frame Relay
Q: What is Frame Relay service?
Frame Relay is a digital connection-oriented data service that sends packets of data, called frames, over the network. This frame of data is transmitted through the network and checked for errors.
Frame Relay is designed for cost-efficient data transmission for intermittent traffic between local area networks (LAN -to- LAN) and between end-points in a wide area network (WAN). It's a data network service bundled with leased line access for transmitting data between remote networks.
Q: How does Frame Relay work?
Frame Relay is a digital packet network service that provides all the features and benefits of a dedicated network service without the expense of multiple dedicated circuits. This data is carried in the form of packets and given an ID on a per packet basis. It is then sent across the network in a very efficient way. In a Frame Relay network, circuits are connected to a packet switch within the network that ensures that packets are routed to the correct location.
Q: What type of service is Frame Relay?
Frame Relay is a digital dedicated service that is leased from a carrier. It is a switched service.
Q: How fast is a Frame Relay circuit?
Frame Relay's has a wide range of bandwidth with rates ranging from 56 Kbps to 45 Mbps. You can select the bandwidth you need for your business.
Q: What is port speed and why is it important?
Port speed is the speed of your physical connection to the frame relay virtual circuit. You cannot send or receive data at a higher rate than the port speed.
Q: Can a Frame Relay solution be installed on the wiring that currently exists at my business?
Yes. it can be installed on the twisted pair copper wire that you are currently using. It can also be installed on fiber optics, coaxial cable, digital microwave, and even infrared lighting.
Q: What can I do with Frame Relay solutions?
Frame Relay is a data network service used for LAN-to-LAN connections, remote access, and connecting to the Internet. It is used for carrying voice, data and video at fast rates. Video conferencing can also be accomplished using Frame Relay. A more advanced technology that is gaining more popularity is MPLS.
Frame relay is well suited for intra-corporate communications. It is also ideal for centralized applications such as client/server or terminal-to-host.
Q: Why should I consider selecting Frame Relay or another technology as a solution for my business?
Frame relay is a cost-effective solution for businesses that have multiple sites in locations that are far apart, businesses that need a high degree of connectivity, and businesses that need flexible communication between sites. A more cost effective solution may be an MPLS solution.
Q: What are some special benefits of Frame Relay services?
A Frame Relay network is managed by a service provider, not the end-user. When you use Frame Relay, you can focus on your business, rather than the task of network management.
Fewer modems and multiplexers are required at each location than that used for private, dedicated networks. This will help reduce costs.
Q: How much does Frame Relay cost? Frame Relay is a premium-leased line for exclusive use by the user. It is not billed on a distance-sensitive basis.
It is a reasonably priced solution for data networks in which the traffic level changes from very low to very high in a short time-period. If your business sites are far apart, it is cost-effective. An even more cost effective solution is MPLS. It is also very useful and cost-effective for networks that require connections to multiple locations.

Bandwidth Quotes
"We've worked with many providers the last several years as an ISP. You've been a breath of fresh air in the way you conduct your business. You're one of the best, if not the best company we've worked with throughout the years. We're glad to have you working on our behalf."
"Thanks for all your help. You guys have been nothing short of spectacular in the years we've been dealing with you for our T1 line and I appreciate the time you take to help us on the various issues."
"Thanks for all your patience and perseverence over the last few months, I know it was trying at times (since it took 3 months due to Verizon refusing to install the local loop), but you were all very professional and helpful, and I just wanted to thank you again. We really couldn't be happier with ACC business/AT&T and your great service. The T1's with ACC/AT&T have been wonderful."
"You have been great to work with! We have quite a promising future working together. Many thanks for all the work you've done. You have saved me so much time and effort. I greatly appreciate the exceptional service you've given to our company."
"The ACC/AT&T circuit has been extremely stable. It is the most stable component of our entire network system. Your service has been excellent. I receive a forewarning if there is a potential disruption with the circuit due to maintenance (though we have not experienced a disruption for over a year now). Further, I am extremely pleased with the periodic notes to check on our assessment of your service and the circuit's performance."
"We've had the T1 line you helped us get for a couple of years now and have been very happy. Your service has been excellent as you've been VERY responsive. Thank you."
"The last few circuits have had issues due to SBC. Thank you very much for your assistance with SBCAmeritech! I also greatly appreciate your help on the billing errors."
"Thanks again for following up on everything, you've been a great support in making sure that we have everything that we need, and I am very happy with our choice in your company."
"If more companies would behave like yours, the world would be a much better place because of it! You have been very helpful and thorough! I think I've told you this before... but i'd like to reiterate it!
Thanks... you make my job much easier not having to deal with the stress of dealing with the providers!"
