T1 Internet Services Provider : Global Crossing Internet Service

Global Access for Maximum Business Reach

Transferring data from any point across the world at a specified bandwidth can be accomplished through Global Crossing Dedicated Internet Access (DIA). This gives you the ability to conduct business meetings everywhere and choose the time at which the meeting is carried out, along with its speed, security and reliability. DIA increases your customer experience by using both DIA and Global Crossing Managed Network Services. DIA can also be used together with other systems, improving your meeting experience.

Speed and Efficiency

High speed browsing will become available, and will enable better eCommerce and communication with employees, customers, and other business partners. By combining one of the worlds few tier 1 Internet Service Providers with a single Autonomous System, high speed data transport will increase. With fewer handoffs, you will have faster transmissions and less down time, leading to greater productivity. You will also have the confidence that your phone calls are done in complete privacy since the U.S. government watches your calls through the National Security Agreement.

Scalable and flexible enough to meet any of your growing needs, DIA provides IPv6 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet service with LAN/PHY and WAN/PHY interfaces. Providing IPv6 natively deployed in private and public backbone networks, Global Crossing still was the first to deliver this system.
