VoIP phone calls are usually delivered over a carefully-managed network often running Quality of Service (QoS) and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

A T1 local access connection to the Internet that can be configured to carry either 24 digitized data channels or one aggregated concatenated data channel at a rate of 1.544 Megabits Per Second (Mbps) that is connected via a T1 Wan Interface Card (WIC), Channel Service Unit / Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU), and Internet router.

Many VoIP service providers guarantee that phone calls will not travel over the public Internet, but are converted and transmitted over the traditional telephone network directly from the VoIP provider's private Internet network that usually adheres to a defined Quality of Service (QoS).

The ADSL downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps.

MPLS works across various data protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay. MPLS forwards most packets at layer 2 (switching) instead of at layer 3 (routing) level.

Internet access via Ethernet is becoming more and more popular to meet the growing demand for dynamic high bandwidth increases. For example, an increase from 10 to 100 Mbps can be accomplished by a High Speed Internet over Ethernet provider by simple changing the settings on already installed Ethernet switches. This scalability is cost effective for customers in that bandwidth can be increased or decreased quickly and easily, on demand, without the necessity of adding or changing datacom equipment as would be required with T1 / T3 or E1 / E3 local access lines.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet.

High-speed microsave and satellite Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless Internet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.

Have you been frustrated trying to find telecommunications information on the Internet? Are descriptions of services unclear and so carrier specific that you do not trust the content? Telecom Links understands that there is a shortage of clearly-written information about the myriad of telecom services available today. Consequently, the Telecom Links mission is to be the most comprehensive source of telecommunications information on the World Wide Web.

MPLS can be used to create highly-scalable IP networks with layer 2 level security as well as easy network configuration, management, and provisioning.
