Types of T1 Connections

There are two type of T1 connections:

Point-to-Point Internet Access provides a dedicated connection with 100% bandwidth at speeds up to 45Mbps. It's an exceptionally fast, secure solution for demanding Internet applications like market research, e-commerce, and web hosting.

Features:

• Point-to-point connection eliminates all switching devices between your site and the managed facility.

• Point-to-Point transport eliminates third-party traffic over your Internet connection.

• Multiple port speeds of up to 45Mbps provides scalable protection for your company's Internet access investment.

• Advanced technology, such as a highly scalable and redundant architecture tied to a series of world class Internet backbones, ensures continuous network communication and uninterrupted access.

• Proactive 24/7 monitoring by our Network Operations Center.

Benefits:

• Ensure 100% of your defined port speed at all times.

• Add to your security by excluding third-party traffic.

• Gain more bandwidth for demanding applications.

• Select the most affordable transmission rate for your high-bandwidth requirements while establishing a flexible upgrade path for your business.

• Enjoy a state-of-the-art Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure and dedicated Internet connectivity. It's a long-term access solution that scales up as your access needs increase.  

Frame Relay

Frame Relay defines a method for effectively routing frames of information across a wide area network. Packet technologies are very suitable for data communications since they make very efficient use of communications channels. Frame relay is especially suited for data-intensive applications, including the connection of LANs over the wide area. It is also becoming popular as an access method for higher speed ATM networks.

Frame relay is a packet-switching protocol based on X.25 and ISDN standards. Unlike X.25 however, which assumed low speed, error-prone phone lines and had to perform error correction, frame relay assumes error-free lines. By leaving the error-correction and flow control functions to the end points (customer premise equipment), frame relay has lower overhead and can move variable-sized data packets at much higher rates.
