The components of dedicated line access typically include the following:
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE): This is the hardware located at the customer's site, such as routers, switches, or modems, which connects the local network to the dedicated line.
Dedicated Physical Connection: A direct, physical link between the customer's location and the service provider's network, ensuring high-speed and stable data transmission without sharing bandwidth with other users.
Service Provider Network: The infrastructure maintained by the service provider, including fiber-optic cables, switches, and routers, which carries the dedicated traffic from the customer to the destination (e.g., data centers or cloud services).
Network Termination Equipment (NTE): Located at the service provider's end, this equipment terminates the dedicated line and connects it to the provider's core network.
Service Management Platform: A system for monitoring, configuring, and managing the dedicated line service, ensuring performance, troubleshooting, and billing.
Example: A company connects its office to a cloud data center via a dedicated line. The CPE (router) at the office sends data through a fiber-optic cable to the service provider's NTE, which routes it to the cloud data center.
For enterprises needing reliable and high-performance connectivity, Tencent Cloud offers Direct Connect services, providing secure and low-latency dedicated links to cloud resources.
