TELECOM BITS Any company that has found themselves outgrowing T1’s, are a definite candidate for the DS3. We have Bandwidth service in all of the major United States Zip Codes. Connections include Bonded (load balanced) T-1 (DS-1) lines (3 mbps to 12 mbps), T3 (DS3) lines (6 mbps to 45 mbps), point to point private lines. We deliver and architect custom designed network infrastructure solutions using a vast suite of optical transport technologies including Ethernet, SONET and Wavelength Services. If you are paying exorbitant rates for your current phone operating system, then you will likely want to switch to a virtual PBX. On most E3 networks, you’ll find individual computer systems to have exceptional Internet access speeds. Optical Carrier 96 or OC-96 Lines transmit a data rate speed of 4,976.64 Megabits per second (Mbps). Optical Carrier 768 or OC-768 Lines/ (Synchronous Transport Module) STM-256x transmits rates of data at a speed of 39,813.12 Megabits per second (Mbps). Businesses that don’t require the full access of T3 line level bandwidth should consider a burstable or dynamic connection which enables sharing of T3 access with another company through the T3 Internet provider. Today the issue is often how fast your ISP operates or whether you should choose DSL over a cable connection. Earning your trust is what we do here. Finding solutions and saving you money is how we keep it. We'll solve it, and find the right solution for your needs that will last for generations to come. At any given time you could be sharing your bandwidth with 300 home or even 400 homes or businesses. One of the most talked about internet issue is what type of service are you going to get to run through your home or business for the least amount of money at the highest speed. Commercial T1 service offers the most application flexibility, the most stable network connectivity, the fastest turnaround times on troubleshooting and repair. Each technology has its own strong points depending on the application. The key is to safeguard intellectual property and ensure compliance within your environment. T1 circuits can be used in just about every type of application that you can imagine. Bandwidth T3 Searches, Bandwidth T3 Searches, and Related Communications Products and Services including VoIP, Integrated T1's, PRI's, Wireless, WiFi, WiMAX, and the List goes On! Overall, PBX phone systems are a great way to increase the versatility and reliability of your company’s service. There are four kinds of physical layer standards for gigabit Ethernet using optical fiber, balanced copper cable or twisted pair cable. Fiber optic cables are not made from copper which the utility is required to share, but are essentially glass, which they are not required to share. Bonded T1 lines allow for quick transfers while not degrading the overall performance of the business’ network. Fiber Connections Bell, Bell Canyon, Bell Gardens, Bellflower, Belmont Shore, Beverly Hills, Bicentennial, Biola University, Bixby Knolls, Blue Cross Of So Calif, Boeing, Bouquet Canyon, Box Canyon, Boyle Heights, Bradbury Gigabit Connectivity. A Data T1 line utilizes all channels for data, providing you with a (DIA) Dedicated Internet Access with a speed of 1.544 Mbps. DSL and fiber optics are the other two existing technologies and it does not make sense for a company to turn to either one of these once T1 lines have been put into place. DSL is a cheaper solution and although it may download at 1. 544 Mbps, the uploads can be as slow as 256k. T1 lines rarely experience downtimes and if they do they are functional within 4 to 24 hours. Offerings include T1 Voice and Internet Lines, DS3 Lines, Metro Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Dark Fiber, Collocation, Point to Points, MPLS, VPN, VoIP and other related Telecommunications services. Another advantage of a T1 line is that is much more reliable and comes with a SLA as well a guaranteed uptime. Devices on Internet over Ethernet networks are connected to switches that use the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol and communicate at various speeds, depending on the type of Ethernet equipment used.
