For
high bandwidth, dedicated connection between sites, we offer
Short Haul Data Services (SHDS). This is a low-cost solution
for extending the Local Area Networks (LANs) of UK organisations
who operate from two or more sites, up to 25km apart. SHDS
operates at the same speeds at the LANs that it links, enabling
information to be shared rapidly. It also facilitates the
provision of high speed links for disaster recovery standby
sites. SHDS is ideally suited to customers who do not want
to commit to large scale investment in technology.
In short,
SHDS is an extremely reliable and secure service. It provides
fast, seamless connections between sites, which increase the
ease at which staff can access and exchange information
LES10,
LES100 and LES1000 are BT names for SHDS services and denote
the available bandwidths of 10Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s and 1Gbit/second

SHDS Benefits
- Cost
effective. SHDS present you with the opportunity
to increase efficiency and control operational costs, by
linking your sites electronically.
- Seamless.
The link enables you to extend each of your offices' local
area networks so that they appear as one, allowing you to
share applications throughout your company.
- Economical.
There are no bandwidth restrictions with SHDS, because,
unlike other connectivity services, our solutions are matched
to the speed at which your LANs operate and not a maximum
throughput.
- Responsive.
Your applications will operate in exactly the same way and
at exactly the same speed regardless of where you are located;
in fact, your users won't even be aware of the link.
- Secure.
Short-Haul Data Services provide discrete fibre-based connectivity
for secure communications between your sites.
- Reliable.
Selected services are continuously monitored. Any fault
is automatically reported to the SHDS Network Management
Centre, where appropriate action is taken.
- Resilient.
Resilience features are available for ATM and Token Ring
LANs (Dual fibre or Ring connection option for additional
resilience with Token Ring LANs; Dual fibre and Dual NTE
with ATM LANs).
SHDS
/ LES Pricing
SHDS attract
a one-off connection and annual rental charges.
Prices
are based on the aggregate charge for each Local End and the
Main Link.
The Local
End connection charge and annual rental are fixed sums.
Main Link
charges are calculated on the radial distance between the
local serving exchanges.
Additional
circuit charges apply at one or both ends where an initial
circuit exists at the same location.
