Medical Imaging Transmission
Medical images, such as those generated by Teleradiology equipment, have large file sizes due to high resolution. Rapid transmission between hospitals and medical centers requires high availability, high bandwidth telecommunication services. For smaller offices or infrequent use, a T1 data line might easily suffice. For medium and larger facilities, DS3 or Ethernet fiber optic carriers are recommended.

What does Convergence mean?
Convergence is the merging of voice, data and often video onto a single network. Most often that network is a company LAN with enough bandwidth to accommodate all users and QoS or Quality of Service control to ensure high quality voice and video transmissions.

What is PBT?
PBT stands for Provider Backbone Transport. It's an adaption of Ethernet to extend Layer-2 switching into the WAN transport network. PBT was pioneered by Nortel and will be standardized by the IEEE as PBB-TE.

What is a Service Level Agreement?
An SLA or Service Level Agreement is often part of the contract between a business and telecom carrier for line services such as carrier Ethernet.The SLA spells out the expected availability of the line service and what penalties the carrier is liable for if the line doesn't perform as stated.

What is the Cost Advantage of Carrier Ethernet
Where available, Ethernet transport services from competitive carriers may cost less than half the lease price of DS3 service for over twice the bandwidth. The difference in cost between SONET optical carrier service and Gigabit Ethernet WAN service is even more dramatic.
