Data T1 Lines

If your business revenues are dependent on consistant and reliable data transmission, a T1 Line would be considered a prudent business investment.

Internet T1 Service

A T1 Internet Line gives you 1.5 mbps upstream and downstream. In addition, T1 lines are dedicated; meaning that your business is the only user of that line. They are not shared by other users that would slow down the connection during periods of peak usage.

Integrated Voice and Data T1 Lines

Integrated Voice and Data T1 Lines enable a business to satisfy all of their telecom and data needs over a single line, in which a set number of channels are dedicated to either/or voice or data transmission.

Dynamic T1 Options

Dynamic T1 Internet allows for maximum telecom/network efficiency by allocating, on-the-fly, any bandwidth not required for telephone calls to data transmission.

Fractional T1 Internet

If your business does not require a full 1.5 MBPS and could function well with a reduced number of channels, then a Fractional T1 Line may be the most economic solution. The channels and bandwidth can be reduced by 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4, thereby reducing the bandwidth cost. However, the loop charges would remain the same as a Full T1 line.

Multiple T1 Lines

Bonded T1 Lines

Burstable T1 Services

VoIP for Business

VPN - Virtual Private Networks

SIP Trunking

MPLS

MPLS isa technique, not a service � so it can be used to deliver anything from IP VPNs to Metro Ethernet services, or even to provision optical services.

Metro Ethernet - Ethernet Over Copper

Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) refers to technologies for transmitting Ethernet at a rate of a gigabit per second.

Voice T1 Services

Consider a Voice T1 Line when your business requires 5 or more telephone lines.

DS3 / T3 and OC3 to OCxxx

For even greater bandwidth reqirements consider:
- DS3: Also called T3 - 43 megabits per second - equal to 28 T1 Internet lines. - OC3: Fiber optice or optical carrier - 155 megabits per second - equal to 84 T1 lines. - OC12: 622 megabits per second - equal to 4 OC3 lines. - OC48: 2.5 gigabits per seconds - equal to 4 OC12 lines. - OC192: 9.6 gigabits per second - equal to 4 OC48 lines.

Business DSL - A Bad Trip
by T. A. Johnson Sr. - Customer Relations Manager
March 9, 2005

Have you ever noticed that DSL backwards is LSD? If you are using this type of connection to generate income for your Shafter, California business, you may be in for a BAD TRIP ! As the person in our organization that is responsible for our customers satisfaction, traditional internet service certainly has been a bad trip for me. When our sales staff helps one of our customers obtain this inferior level of service, sooner or later, I get the call to fix-it. I can't blame the sales person for the trouble. The client wanted a CHEAP FIX. Ok, enough tounge in cheek, let me inject some sharper points here.

T1 Service Level Agreements ( SLAs ) are a lifeline for Shafter businesses that depend on data and/or voice connections for income. Simply put, they are service quality guarantees. The T1 service provider guarantees, in writing, that if you lose your Shafter, California T1 connection, they lose part of their income. They don't want to lose their income any more than you do, so they make sure you do not lose your connection. Businesses that hold Dedicated Circuit SLAs usually measure outages in minutes, as opposed to cheaper connections that average 32 to 48 HOURS - 2 DAYS! As a "best effort" service, the DSL provider isn't normally under any obligation to restore service quickly, or to renumerate you for any of your business loses - no incentive, no hurry, your loss. Even if your internet provider is offering a Service Level Agreement, those argeements are always inferior to T1 Service Level Agreements. You get what you pay for. Considering that only a relatively small percentage of homes and business are currently using these inferior services, and the number of subscribers is expected to grow exponentially, quality and up-time will probably continue to deteriorate.

Where are your customers going during these outages? Probably to a competitor that has not suffered the downtime. What is the dollar amount, long-term, of your loses? Possibly more than a T1 line would cost. Is it important and profitable for you to maintain your lifeline while your comptetitors are suffering outages? YOU BET ! You can be aquiring new customers while they are down; taking your competitions business, instead of the competition taking your business.

To appreciate the value of a T1 Service Level Agreement, look at the 2004 hurricane season in Florida. Phone and DSL connections went down in many areas for weeks. No service. No business. T1 Internet Line Service was generally restored in about 2 hours. Don't wait for a hurricane, or flood, or earthquake, or tornado, or fire, or mudslides, or the guy who digs up your telephone line, or whatever..... Take care of your business, insure your business lifeline, and protect your income with a vastly superior T1 Service Level Agreement.

Dynamic Integrated T1 Service for Shafter, California Businesses

Featured Article by: T. A. Johnson, Sr. - Customer Relations Manager - January 8, 2009

When considering an integrated voice and data T1 service for your Shafter, California applications consider a Dynamic T1 line. Most believe all integrated lines are channelized, meaning a set number of T1 voice channels and a set number of data channels. But, if you are running 11 voice channels and 13 data channels, you can only get 13 x 64K (64K per channel) of high speed internet access. Even if you are not using the voice lines, you still only get 832 kbps of data transfer!

So, how do you get more out of your telecom budget? Just use an independent business telecommunications broker to locate a T1 provider that offers Shafter, California Dynamic Integrated Services. Dynamic Integrated Service will allow you to convert voice channels that are not in use to data channels for immediate use. No voice channels in use equals a full T1 (1.54 mbps) of data transfer. You realize more speed out of a 24 channel T1 line by dynamically allocating channels rather than using fixed voice and data channels. And the greatest thing about dynamic integrated T1 service is that the cost is the same as channelized T1 Integrated service.
