Integrated DS1

“When the top DS1 providers must compete for your business, you win!”

Real-time Lake Lafayette integrated DS1 Rate Quotes are Here!
There are two types of integrated DS1. Prior to recent technological advancement, which resulted in the availability of dynamic integrated DS1, the only available form of integrated DS1 was channelized integrated. Channelized T1 is comprised of 24 (64 kbps each) autonomous channels. Each of these independent channels can support different applications simultaneously.

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.

Integrated DS1 Definition Continued.

Once channelized T1 is configured, the channels are fixed. With channelized T1, for example, if 12 of your 24 channels are allocated to local phone service, and the other 12 channels (768 k) are allocated to internet data, then 12 channels will not be available on the data side, regardless of whether one or twelve of the phone lines are in use. With this example, your data speed can never exceed 768 k, regardless of how many phones are, or are not, in use. Some now consider this a waste of bandwidth. With dynamic integrated, all bandwidth is initially assigned to the data side, and then used for phones only when needed. With dynamic integrated service, phones get the priority to ensure high quality voice traffic, but when the phones are not in use, the bandwidth is returned to the data side in real time. As an example, with a full dynamic integrated DS1, 1540 k (t1 bandwidth) is assigned to the data side. If one phone is being used, then subtract 64 K (varies) from the 1540 k, if two phones are being used, subtract 128 k, and so on. When the user hangs up the phone that bandwidth is automatically returned to the data side. With dynamic integrated, you will always have 1.54 mbps (megabits per second) when phones are not in use. One integrated DS1 line, depending on availability in your area, can bundle any combination of the following applications: local telephone service, long distance, incoming toll free, internet, and/or VoIP. Integrated DS1 is very popular with small and medium sized businesses that do not want to pay for separate T1 circuits for each of these applications. Other advantages of integrated DS1 can include: one provider, one easy to read bill and one point of contact for all of the above mentioned services, flexibility in keeping your existing phone numbers, much lower costs than if the above mentioned applications are purchased individually, and the flexibility to evolve as your business grows. Integrated DS1 is occasionally confused with fractional t1. In actuality, one integrated DS1 line can include the equivalent of multiple fractional T1 services. Integrated DS1 can, however, be provided in smaller bandwidths, in the form of fractional integrated DS1.

MPLS Facilitates Convergence

Written by: Dennis Green - Jan 9, 2009

With the emergence of multiprotocol-label-switching (MPLS), great strides have been achieved toward the goal of telecom convergence. In the past, telecom applications such as voice, internet, networking, and video conferencing have been treated as separate, commonly each needing their own source of bandwidth. This was expensive, because it is often far more costly to provide several relatively small bandwidth pipes, then it would be to provide one large pipe. Generally speaking, the larger the pipe, the less cost per megabit per second (mbps). Other issues which were frequent with a lack of convergence were that it was common for providers to specialize in one application, but not all. For this reason, it was required for businesses to be forced to deal with multiple providers, to obtain multiple types of service. Also, the business (customer) would need staff who could specialize in each application. For example, staff that specialized in coordinating the company phone system, staff that specialized in setting up internet access, and staff who specialized in setting up wide area and local networks (WANs and LANs). With a lack of convergence, capital costs were much higher as well. I.e., separate routers for connections to the WAN and LAN, separate routers for the internet, and separate equipment for connecting to the public switched telephone network.

With convergence, this is all improving for the business owner. Now, it is possible to obtain a completely managed system, which includes voice, internet, free long distance service, free toll free service, and soon to come, networking all on one bandwidth pipe, provided by one provider. This results in less expense for bandwidth, fewer company staff resources required to manage, and less expense for each application. With the emergence of dynamically allocated bandwidth, far greater efficiency is being achieved in bandwidth utilization as well. For example, not only can you have both voice and internet on the same T1, but you can now utilize all bandwidth for internet, when the phones are not in use.

At this point, MPLS is most affecting the convergence of communication within the communication network of each company. With MPLS, companies can now converge all applications, such as company location-to-location voice, routine data transfer, and video conferencing into one network. All can be transferred over one pipe, with any-to-any connectivity. With MPLS, class of service (CoS) prioritizes these applications so that those which are more sensitive to packet loss and latency receive priority over applications such as routine data transfer. For example, routine data transfer would not be allowed to compete directly with voice traffic. Routine data traffic is not sensitive to minor packet loss or latency, and therefore would be given a lower priority than voice or video traffic.

Converting from an out-dated frame relay or point-to-point network to a fully managed MPLS based network is an extremely painless process. In most cases, all installation is free, equipment and configuration is managed by the telecom provider, and the telecom provider takes full responsibility for monitoring the network 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and providing all maintenance for the network. All of this is usually provided for far less than the monthly cost of the existing network.
