T1 / Dedicated Line Services
High speed voice and data lines
may save you money
Dedicated line services offer considerable
cost savings for businesses needing many phone lines, or a combination
of telephone and Internet services.
T1 is the most popular of the T or "trunk"
services. It is a digital line that is supplied on two pairs
of ordinary telephone wire. T1 lines can accommodate up to 24
separate telephone calls or a combination of telephone calls
and Internet data on a single line. It is called "dedicated"
service because it is always connected and dedicated to your
business needs.
T1 lines run at 1.544 Mbps and cost from
about $400 and up, depending on your location. The price depends
on distance from the carrier's POP or Point of Presence. Unlike
DSL and Cable Modem service, T1 line are generally available
in rural, suburban and urban areas alike. They can be ordered
with a service level agreement that guarantees reliable service
for your business needs.
If your company is using 8 or more telephone
lines (actual lines, not just phone numbers) and/ or needs Internet
service for multiple employees, then T1 service may save you
money over a combination of switched phone service and DSL Internet
access. If you are running a call center or want caller ID on
your incoming phone calls, then you'll need a variation of T1
service called PRI or Primary Rate Interface. That gives you
23 phone lines plus Caller ID for all of those lines on a singe
T1 line.
To use T1 for telephone service, you'll
need a Key Telephone or PBX system that has a T1 or PRI interface
built-in or available as an add-on feature.
When your company needs more capacity,
it is generally easy to combine or "bond" multiple
T1 lines to double or triple the bandwidth available. Beyond
that, you can upgrade to T3 lines or Optical Carrier service.
