T-1 Networking: How to Buy, Install, and Use T-1 from Desktop to DS-3 - Tapa blanda

Why choose T-1? 1. Cost. T-1 circuits let you combine voice and data lines and enjoy economies of scale. 2. Availability. Companies are betting their businesses on their communications networks. Alternate T-1 routing and sophisticated diagnostic equipment mean T-1 networks are more available than today's analog network. 3. New Services. When users get a T-1 network, they can do things they couldn't before. Things like videoconferencing and high-speed database exchanges. 4. Flexibility. Your president wants a teleconference in 30 minutes with five of his regional offices. With your own T-1 network, he can have it. 5. Quality. T-1 voice circuits typically sound better than analog circuits. ;
