Sharing Business Broadband
Costs
Even smaller businesses can have high performance dedicated Internet
access by splitting the cost of a T1 line with other businesses
in their building or business park.
Advantage of Colocation Bandwidth
Colocation is locating your servers in a colocation facility,
also known as a carrier hotel. Advantages of this approach include
ready availability of low cost bandwidth including T1, DS3, Carrier
Ethernet and SONET Fiber Optic options. These data centers also
offer backup power, environmental control and high levels of security.
Logistics and Transportation
Industry Bandwidth
Trucking, warehousing, railroads and similar businesses need reliable
voice and data bandwidth. Point to Point T1 lines provide exclusive
and secure transmission between facilities for data transfers,
PBX telephone tie lines, and IP telephony.
T1 and T3 Lines for Wireless
Backhaul
A WISP or Wireless Internet Service Provider needs a way to connect
the Internet to the tower radios. T1 lines and bonded T1 lines
are widely used for this purpose, as well as cellular tower backhaul,
because of their almost universal availability. T3 lines offer
28x the bandwidth of T1 lines but are typically more available
in larger metropolitan areas.
What is POTS mean?
POTS is a telecommunications industry acronym for "Plain
Old Telephone Service." POTS lines are the analog telephone
lines that have been trenched or dropped into nearly every business
and residence in the country. POTS service is based on standards
that have been well established for over a hundred years.
