Dedicated service is telecom service provided through a dedicated circuit that only you have access to, spanning from your physical location to your carrier’s network. It used to be a relatively rare telecom option, but it’s becoming more common as hardware prices continue to drop and per-minute costs decline. If you’re thinking about making the change to dedicated service, you should do a little research. Dedicated service requires you to take on a new series of responsibilities. For one thing, you’ll be dealing with a whole new set of hardware. That means (ka-ching) buying the right equipment and making sure that you maintain it, as well.

This chapter goes over the details so that you know what’s required of your company, as well as the carrier, when you order up a new dedicated circuit.
