ATS (Advanced Telecommunications Service)
Many organizations use separate networks for voice, data and video applications because each pathway has different characteristics. But multiple networks can be costly and difficult to manage. BellSouth BusinessSM Advanced Telecommunications Service (ATS) consolidates these separate networks onto a single, high-speed connection with specific Quality of Service parameters for each traffic type. This power service lowers your network costs by increasing your capacity and throughput per dollar of investment.
BellSouth BusinessSM ATS is a family of advanced networking technologies coupled with flexible and cost-effective network management service options that can be customized to meet your specific needs and requirements. Management services can be purchased separately or packaged with BellSouth-provided network equipment to handle any of your key network components including access, backbone, hubs and gateways. The BellSouth Business organization can also provide service coordination with other carriers and network equipment vendors. So you get everything you need from one reliable source — a reliable source you've trusted with your communications needs for years.
