Telecommunications
In today's environment, telecommunications infrastructure is as important to businesses as roadways. Harrison is fortunate to have Windstream as a great corporate partner with the city. Harrison is one of the best "connected" cities of its size in the United States.
- Harrison was the Windstream Beta site for DSL and was the third city in the US to have the DSL Broadband capability.
- Call centers prefer to be in a community where their long distance vendor has a physical POP and Harrison is the POP site for numerous carriers. The POP resides on an AEN 192 Sonet Ring.
- Reliability is the key and there are diverse routes to multiple carriers from Harrison.
- Faster switching capacity is critical and a DMS 100 Nortel Switch handles switching.
- There is a OC 48 ring throughout Harrison
- There is SS7 connectivity.
- Harrison is the Tandeum for North Central Arkansas
- T1 and T3 telephone lines are currently available and Windstream will bring in ISDN and can provide dual entrances.
