T1 Data

“When the top T1 providers must compete for your business, you win!”

A T1 data line is a high speed, 1.54 megabits per second (Mbps), circuit which is comprised of 24 individual DS-O circuits. Each DS-O channel has a speed of 64 kilobits per second (Kbps). For perspective, your home telephone line is likely a DS-O line. T1 data lines are also at times referred to as DS1 lines. T1 data is carried through two twisted pairs of copper wires. Virtually, all residences and businesses currently have two pairs of copper wires running to them. (For more about T1 data please click here)

T1 Data Definition Continued.

T1 lines are capable of delivering 1.54 Mbps simultaneously in both directions, one direction for each pair of copper lines. Because T1 data service is repeater driven (signal is digitally reestablished every 6000 feet), it is available several miles from telephone central offices. For this reason, T1 service can be available to virtually all of the businesses in the US. T1 lines are dedicated, in that they are always connected, and are also extremely stable. Most reputable providers include service level agreements which guarantee the reliability of the T1 lines they offer. Although the term T1 is commonly used when referring to a dedicated high bandwidth connection to the internet, T1 circuits can transfer data in many forms to accomplish a variety of functions. These include: fractional T1 (commonly 128 Kbps to 756 Kbps), burstable (less expensive for companies which normally do not need a full DS1/T1), integrated (one T1 line comprised of any combination the types of DS1/T1 listed here), channelized DS1 (another name for integrated T1), point-to-point (direct and constant DS1 connection between to locations), dynamic integrated (a more state-of-the-art alternative to channelized integrated), local (local phone service), pri (voice service which includes added features such as caller ID), and frame relay (a T1 network between two or more locations). Each of these types of DS1/T1 has advantages over the others, depending on the specific needs of your company. Also, the availability of each is based on the offerings of each T1 provider and the geographic location.

Is OC3 Right for Your Company?

Written by: Dennis Green - Jul 8, 2008

OC3 circuits carry a bandwidth of 155.5 Mbps. OC3 (optical carrier) is the equivalent of three OC1s; each OC1 carries 51.85 Mbps. OC3 facilitates Voice over IP (VOIP), hosting web sites for very large companies, streaming audio and/or video, or video conferencing. OC3 carries enough bandwidth to supply most internet service providers. OC3 is often far more bandwidth than most companies need. For maximum efficiency and reduced cost, other options include: T1 (1.54 Mbps), fractional t1 (less than 1.54 Mbps), integrated T1 (combination of voice and data), bonded T1 (multiple T1 lines), burstable DS3 (T3), T3 (45 Mbps), or integrated T3 (DS3). Each of the services listed above has unique advantages. Which product is best suited for your company depends on your bandwidth applications and projected usage patterns.
