An Internet T1 (or T-1) T1 is a symmetrical local access connection to an Internet port that allows for downloads and uploads of up to 1.5 Mega Bits Per Second (Mbps) which is 30 times as fast as a 56 Kilo Bits Per Second (Kbps) dial-up connection over a standard Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) phone line.

VoIP can provide big company telephone features on a small company budget. You are not merely trading one system for another: VoIP represents the next generation of telephony and messaging: Control calls anytime from anywhere, view incoming calls, view missed calls, view calls you have placed, view your voice messages like emails (find the voice message you want to listen to first – listen to it through your phone, remotely, or on any sound-enabled computer, forward it to another user or an email box), click to call people in your contact directory, enjoy four-digit dialing to all of your locations, etc.

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.

Multi-Site National and Global Network Solutions: As your organization grows, so does the importance of telecommunications integration and coordination. For example, we can design a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network that can connect all of your locations to enable sensitive data to flow back and forth at a high speed without the risk of interception. Call us at (888) 255-5859.

MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).

Ethernet is the most widely-used data network protocol today. Standardized as IEEE 802.3, the Ethernet protocol is used for local area networks (LANs) at the Layer 1 (Physical Layer) and Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI networking model.

DSL service is delverd as Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) which is the most common application for Internet access, where fast downstream is required, but slow upstream is acceptable, and as Symmetric DSL (SDSL) which supports high speed access across the local access loop in both directions.

High-speed Microwave, 3G, and Satellite Wireless Internet service connects subscribers who are in remote locations or unique locations where DSL or other types of Internet access is unavailable. All you need to connect to wireless Internet is an unobstructed view of the provider Internet transmitter - receiver or satellite.

If you are looking for clear, concise definitions of telecommunication terms and explanations of telecom services, especially how they are used and how they work, TelecomLInks is a great place to start.

Layer 2 MPLS VPNs (L2VPNs) are similar to Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or point-to-point Wide Area Networks (WANs).
