What are Dedicated Circuits?
Dedicated circuits are private, point-to-point or multipoint Ethernet connections that provide transparent Layer 2 connectivity between your locations. Unlike shared internet services, dedicated circuits guarantee bandwidth, latency, and availability through Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Why Dedicated Circuits?
Dedicated circuits are essential for organizations that need:
- Guaranteed bandwidth with no oversubscription
- Predictable latency for time-sensitive applications
- High availability with SLA compensation
- Transparent Layer 2 connectivity between sites
- Compliance with regulatory requirements
- Direct connection to cloud providers
- Secure, private network infrastructure
Types of Dedicated Circuits
Point-to-Point Circuits
Direct connection between two locations. Ideal for connecting headquarters to a branch office, datacenter to cloud provider, or two datacenters for replication.
- • Transparent Ethernet frames between two endpoints
- • Speeds from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps
- • Low latency (typically 5-20ms within Brazil)
- • SLA guarantees up to 99.99% uptime
- • Provisioning typically 4-6 weeks
Multipoint Circuits (MPLS VPN)
Connect multiple locations through a single service. Perfect for organizations with multiple branch offices that need to communicate securely.
- • Connect 3+ locations in a mesh or hub-and-spoke topology
- • VLAN support for customer segregation
- • Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization
- • Scalable from 2 Mbps to 100 Gbps per site
- • Centralized management and monitoring

Dedicated Circuits vs Internet Services
How dedicated circuits compare to traditional internet services:
| Feature | Dedicated Circuit | Internet Service |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth Guarantee | 100% guaranteed | Best effort |
| Latency | Predictable, low | Variable |
| SLA | 99.9% - 99.99% | Typically 95-99% |
| Privacy | Completely private | Shared infrastructure |
| Provisioning | 4-8 weeks | 1-2 weeks |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
Use Cases
Datacenter Replication: Connect your primary datacenter in São Paulo to a secondary site in Rio for disaster recovery.
Branch Office Connectivity: Connect your headquarters in São Paulo to branch offices in multiple cities with guaranteed performance.
Cloud Connectivity: Dedicated circuit to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for high-performance, low-latency access.
Financial Services: Banks and financial institutions need dedicated circuits for trading, payments, and regulatory compliance.
Getting Started
To provision a dedicated circuit, we need:
- • Source and destination locations
- • Required bandwidth
- • SLA requirements
- • Budget timeline
- • Technical contact for configuration
We'll conduct a feasibility study, provide pricing, and outline the provisioning timeline. Most circuits are ready in 4-8 weeks.
