Combined T1 Telephone and Internet
Service
An Integrated T1 line shares bandwidth between digital phone lines
and broadband Internet service. Typically up to 12 phones lines
can be accommodated. If the T1 line is set up to be a dynamic
T1, then any bandwidth not used for telephone calls is automatically
available for Internet access.
Digital Signage Bandwidth Options
Digital signs, including large billboards, are easily and instantly
updated with data downloads. T1 and fractional T1 lines or VSAT
digital satellite connections are available even in rural areas.
Channelized T1 vs ISDN PRI
T1 lines can support two protocols of switched circuit telephony.
Channelized T1 lines offer 24 phone lines using in-band signaling.
ISDN PRI, or Primary Rate Interface, offers 23 phone lines and
common channel signaling that can include data such as ANI Automatic
Number Identification or Caller ID.
T1 Digital Cross Connect Systems
A digital cross connect system, often abbreviated DCS or DCAS,
allows you to switch traffic among your T1 lines. It will even
reach into the line to connect individual channels or timeslots
rather than the entire circuit. A manual device that cross connects
T1 lines is called a DCX or patch panel.
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.
