Real-time North Dakota frame relay T1 Rate Quotes are Here!
Frame relay T1 is designed to provide cost effective data transmission over a shared network. Frame relay derived its name from the fact that it transfers data via various sized units referred to as frames. These frames are commonly transmitted through a shared network.

Coverage Area

Unlike DSL and other broadband technologies that are limited to only densely populated areas, T1 service is available just about anywhere with a phone line. T1, also known as DS1, uses repeaters to boost up the signal strength of the transmission - allowing it to travel up to 50 miles away from the nearest Central Office location.

Frame Relay T1 Definition Continued.

Frame relay is many times faster than its predecessors, such as x.25, because frame relay is a streamlined protocol designed for speed. This protocol flourishes because it is designed to compliment modern digital lines which are virtually noise free. With frame relay T1, data transmission usually originates through the private line of a customer, transfers to a shared network at the nearest frame relay switch, travels the majority of its distance through the shared frame relay network, and then transfers to the private line closest to the receiving customer. Frame relay is normally less expensive than point-to-point lines because many customers use and share the cost of the frame relay network, rather than each paying for a private line for the entire distance their data is transmitted. Private line cost is distance sensitive, so the longer the distance utilized via a shared network, the greater the cost savings experienced by the customer. Another factor which makes frame relay less expensive than point-to-point is that the nearest frame relay node is often much closer to the customer than the provider’s central office. This results in less private line distance being calculated into pricing. An additional benefit is that with frame relay it is often possible to connect to a provider which is hundreds of miles away for close to the same price as connecting to a local provider. For this reason, the number of providers which can be compared is significantly expanded. Frame relay is primarily used for the transmission of intermediate data between LANs, and between end points of a wide area network. Frame relay is at times used for video conferencing, however, point-to-point lines, and MPLS are much better suited for the on-going high rate of bandwidth and signal stability required by video conferencing. As the price of clear channel T1 has dropped significantly during recent years, frame relay is no longer seen as the bargain it was historically. Point-to-point and MPLS networks are now runaway choices for most customers who in the past would have benefited from frame relay T1 usage. (Click here to return to top of page)

Benefits of Dynamic Integrated T1 over Channelized T1

Written by: Dennis Green - Aug 20, 2008

Dynamic integrated T1 provides many benefits over other forms of T1. These advantages include the combination of both phone service, as well as internet service on one T1 circuit for a price which is similar to full internet t1, or a voice t1 circuit. This benefit is especially useful for small to medium sized companies which need both voice and internet t1, but only have the budget for one T1 line. A second benefit of dynamic integrated is that it allows access to all data “channels” at all times, regardless of whether phones are in use or not. With dynamic integrated, the entire T1 (1544 kilobits per second (kbps)) defaults to internet duties. As phones are used, bandwidth is assigned in real-time and with priority to each phone conversation. This prioritization ensures that the quality of voice traffic is not jeopardized by routine data traffic. Once each phone call is ended, the bandwidth allocated to that call is returned in real-time to internet duties, thus increasing the speed of access to and from the internet. Dynamic integrated T1 is the state-of-the-art version of integrated T1. It’s predecessor, channelized t1 was nowhere near as flexible and included much bandwidth wastage. For example, with channelized integrated, each of the 24 channels (64 kbps each) which make up a T1 circuit, is assigned to either voice or internet. I.e. 12 channels assigned as voice lines, and 12 channels (768 kbps) assigned to internet traffic. With this scenario, all data assigned to voice traffic, cannot be accessed for internet usage, without major reconfiguration. For this reason, when phones are not being used, all bandwidth allocated to the phones sits idol. Although dynamic integrated requires on premise equipment worth about $4000, this equipment and installation is provided for only a few hundred dollars by most telecom providers if the customer is willing to commit to a two year contract, and the equipment and installation are usually provided for free if the customer is willing to commit to a three year contract. Other benefits of dynamic integrated often include unlimited local and long distance usage (even in metered areas), up to 5000 minutes of toll free service per month, and online portal access, so that phone features can be accessed and revised in real-time by the customer. Several providers are now offering dynamic integrated t1 on bonded T1 circuits. Also, PRI is now available with dynamic integrated. (Click here to return to top of page)
