Specifications

Xand Corporation is a FCC and New York State Public Service Commission approved and tariffed telephone and telecommunications carrier. As a result, Xand has access to the fiber optic network, services and support from Verizon and MCI Worldcom which are not available to small regional ISPs.

The Xand backbone utilizes redundant OC-12 (622.08 Ambit/sec) fiber optic connections to the Verizon SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) ring. The connection is designed and provisioned with EAD (Enhanced Access Diversity) which provides differently routed fiber optic circuits to separate Verizon central office locations. MCI Worldcom provides additional fiber optic OC-3 and OC-12 connectivity.
