T1 Internet – How To Choose

Sometimes, it can be extremely difficult to make the right choice when it comes to technology. Not only are there plenty of options, but the jargon alone could be mind-boggling. Take for instance the world of Internet connectivity options.



As a business owner, you will need to know what each kind of connectivity is capable of delivering, and what the specific benefits that you can expect will be. One such Internet connectivity option is T1 internet. Here are a few simple aspects about this technology that can help you make the right choice.



What does T1 stand for?


1962 was the year in which Bell Labs introduced Transmission System 1 or T1 when it came to digital transmission systems. T1 also stands for:

  • Data transmission rate of 1.544 megabits per second
  • The hardware specifications for Internet connectivity
  • The ability to support digitized voice transmissions.




Business benefits


There is no denying the fact that T1 connectivity can prove to be more expensive than quite a few other options. However, there is great value for money to be had by installing a T1 internet connection for your business operations.



Some of the main benefits are:

  • It is an extremely cost-effective way that allows you to integrate data transmission and voice transmission
  • It’s definitely less costly than leased telephone lines
  • It can help a business operation link its branch offices smoothly
  • It is highly scalable so it keeps pace with the growth of your business.




Can home owners opt for T1?


There is absolutely no difference between T1 for business and T1 for the home. However, a home owner certainly has to decide whether the costs of T1 internet connectivity are worth it.



Since most homeowners do not really need intensive data and voice transmission support systems, a T1 connection might prove to be an expensive affair. But, a residential complex often does get together to invest in T1 connectivity so this definitely is an option as well.



Delivery of T1 services


T1 connectivity is also characterized by the fact that it is extremely simple to deliver. All it uses are the telephone lines or copper pairs that are available in almost every building today. Services of T1 connectivity can also be delivered through local telephone companies and you just need to have a phone jack; RJ-45 or RJ-48; and connect to the Internet.



Thus, going in for T1 connectivity can indeed go a very long way to help support business operations and its growth.

The consultants at TelcoSolutions can assist you in pairing the best value and most reliable carriers for T1 internet services.
