Single location: Basic Voice/Data T1

Organizations with as few as eight telephone lines can realize improved service at reduced cost by converting to a Public Interest combined voice/data T1.

A T1 circuit can carry 24 channels of voice or data, and is often called a local loop.

Our new technology allows the router to "steal" bandwidth from your voice channels which are not in use, giving your network the flexibility to reprioritize as its needs change.

One or more T1s are installed to connect the client's office to the Public Interest Network Operations Center on West 17th Street in Manhattan.

The Network Operations Center is connected to multiple carriers on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for voice calls, and is fully peered to the Internet backbone.

On the client side of the loop, an IP router, which can separate voice channels from data channels, is connected to the T1. The channels designated for voice are connected to the client's PBX telephone switch using a T1 interface card, or converted to POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines. The T1 channels designated for Internet access are connected to the computers on the client's local area network via an Ethernet port on the router.
