Reducing Data Costs With T1 Data Services
For Internet-dependent businesses, dial-up connections are truly passé. Exchanging data @ 30 Kbps via a basic modem on a normal phone line is no longer feasible for businesses for whom Internet is the lifeline.
While DSL (Digital Subscriber Link) has largely been the affordable high-speed Internet service solution available to small and home offices as well as corporate branch offices at 192 Kbps, T1 data phone lines offer an even better option.
Digital T1 Data Service provides dedicated bandwidth to enable you to access the Internet at amazing high-speeds and at economical prices. With approximately 6 times more speed, than a normal residential modem, a single T1 data line can handle several users simultaneously, depending on the tasks being executed.
In addition, the digital T1 services are more reliable compared to the analog modem. Due to the high access speed and dedicated bandwidth, digital T1 for Data Communication makes it possible for you to implement state-of-the-art connectivity solutions such as VPN that were previously difficult support on a dial-up or DSL connection. With remote accessibility solutions for accessing corporate data, you can easily ensure customer satisfaction.
Another major advantage of T1 is that you can satisfy all your telecommunication needs through a single T1 data line. You no longer need to move through dial-up, DSL, or ISDN lines for Internet connectivity. This is especially crucial for handling critical tasks such as database access that require a reliable Internet service.
Here is a list of the equipment required to achieve a faster and reliable data transmission over T1 lines:
Integrated Access Device (IAD): IAD is a modular carrier-class device for swift T1 data transmission that is scalable and economical. It offers flexibility and ease of configuration to users, and comes with a wide variety of features, plus voice and data options. It also offers interface options for T1 TDM and packet networks such as T1 ATM and DSL. With an integral router, V.35, and DSX-1 interface port, it can support up to 24 analog FXS ports by utilizing the six access module slots.
Data Terminal Equipment (DTE): DTE controls the communication channel, by acting as the source and/or destination of data. It encodes the user information into data signals for transmission, and then decodes the received data signals into user information.
Multiplexers: With T1 bonding solutions, it enables you to transmit a single high-speed data channel over multiple T1 lines.
T1 data service is a direct connection to the telecommunication carrier's network. An approximate subscription cost would be $650 per month, with initial facility charges of about $5000.
The seemingly high cost is justified by the high-speed dedicated T1 line support that boosts your business efficiency and productivity, vis-à-vis the monthly savings you achieve on the subscription fee for unreliable and slow services that negatively impact your employees' productivity and efficiency, and causing your business much bigger losses in the bargain.
