If you need a consolidated solution that gives you a combination of various communications services, you need to look for an integrated access T1 service. An integrated T1 service is a good way of running several functions through a single line, providing a flexible way of making sure your business is well-connected.

By using integrated T1, you can connect to local telephone networks, conduct long-distance phone calls, connect to the Internet, and conduct voice over IP (VoIP) calls over a single circuit. The best part is, you can do all of these things at the same time.

If you’re a small business that uses less than twenty phone lines throughout your office, the chance of you benefiting greatly from an integrated T1 service is pretty substantial. This service will let you keep your voice connections and access the Internet with speeds better than what you’d usually get from a standard dial-up connection. It will give you the flexibility of multiple telephone connections running over a singular T1 connection that also lets you connect to local and wide area networks, as well as the Internet.

That’s because integrated T1 is different from regular T1. Integrated T1 comes with equipment that provides the ability to access multiple communications services. This will split twenty-four channels over a singular channel in order to achieve connectivity to your voice lines, as well as to provide a high-speed connection to the Internet and other area networks that you need to connect to.

While this equipment is sophisticated and usually expensive, phone companies providing integrated T1 access will also provide the infrastructure required for the connection free of charge.

Features

You need your telephone lines? No problem! An integrated T1 solution gives you a simulated T1 Internet connection that integrates your line with your multiple voice connections—thus the integrated in the name. Thanks to the hardware that your phone company provides to give you integrated connectivity you can have the best of both worlds without having new lines connected to your office.

At the same time, this service will also give you unlimited simulated T1 access to the Internet. That means that you won’t have to pay anything extravagant, or have a large-scale infrastructure connected to your system in order to access the web. All your units that are connected to the system will be provided with a static IP address that are all designed to meet the requirements of your network’s configuration.

In addition, most—if not all—integrated T1 services provide you with web-based monitoring features in order to keep tabs on your network. Add the capacity to host your own website, and you’ve got a system that gives you a vast array of top-quality services included at a flat-rate of service.

Benefits

• You can start the service with four local lines and 384 Kbps of bandwidth, and scale up to twenty voice lines at 1.54 Mbps per channel.
• Combine a variety of applications—voice, Internet, and data—on the same T1 circuit, and tailor the combination of service lines to suit your business needs.
• If you have old phone and fax numbers, you won’t have to obtain new ones just to set up an integrated T1 connection.
