AT&T Opt-E-MAN Service 
If there’s one thing to say about the AT&T Opt-E-Man Ethernet service solution, it has to be this: Opt-E-Man will give you the chance to open multiple access points in various locations and have them communicate with each other simultaneously. That’s because this service uses Ethernet technology in tandem with an optical cable solution to connect multiple local area networks together.
Thanks to its unique infrastructure, Opt-E-Man is highly capable of providing its customers with a variety of flexible bandwidth options, ranging from a network connection with transfer speeds of 5Mbps to a Gigabit Ethernet connection that transfers 1Gbps. All network infrastructures come with a guarantee that the network solution is scalable – which means that if you find that you need to switch to an Ethernet service that’s faster than your current setup, it’s as easy as letting AT&T know.
Opt-E-Man supports a variety of ways in which you can send data to anywhere within your network. Some of the transport configurations it has include the basic point-to-point configuration, a more complex point-to-multipoint setup, and the ultimate multipoint-to-multipoint mega connection.
That’s because Opt-E-Man uses a unique mix of physical and virtual connections to make sure that your data gets through when you want it, where you want it. The Ethernet virtual connection solution is a unique method of transferring information through optical fiber connections. By shooting Ethernet LAN packages through these optical fiber cables that travel through your intraLATA network, Opt-E-Man is capable of transmitting information to virtually anywhere in your network – even to the Internet. It can also access network-based VPN services by connecting you to a network-terminating server at your location, and then using a network router, switch, or bridge to connect to the service.
Components of Opt-E-Man
A service wouldn’t be exceptional if its basic parts weren’t exceptional – and Opt-E-Man uses components that are some of the best in the industry today. For its specialized network terminating functions, Opt-E-Man uses an Ethernet interface capable of handling multiple payloads at any given time. This interface uses a specified Ethernet port to transport the data, which is used to end the flow of incoming data and begin the execution of incoming payload.
As mentioned earlier, the Ethernet virtual connection used by Opt-E-Man is the system’s way of generating a variety of randomized circuits to facilitate multipoint connections. This enables the Ethernet line to connect to a variety of physical end connections, as well as to connect to the Ethernet cloud network.
Users are also given the choice to select an option which they think will fit their business best:
- Bronze service assures you of full support for your data applications, and will be most beneficial for users who wish to just get their network connected.
- Silver service users are given all the benefits bronze service customers receive, but are also given high-speed support that will ensure the minimal loss of data integrity, as well as a low latency rate for services that require unusually fast connections, such as Voice over Internet Protocols.
What you get from Opt-E-Man
Opt-E-Man’s private line network is a scalable solution, so if you need to change the parameters of the service you’re currently using or add new locations into your network, you won’t have to worry about going through a full-scale network revamp. That’s because this Ethernet network’s architecture is simple in structure, requiring less servers and relying mostly on physical cable connectivity instead. And since it’s a simpler network structure, Opt-E-Man is a cost-effective alternative for customers who are looking for a reliable and secure way of setting up a private network for their company.
