A Dynamic T-1 line is pretty much what it sounds like - vigorous and self-motivated. But how does it do what it does and why?
First let’s go back a bit and review some T1 line information. A T-1 is a digital voice and data line that can transmit 1.544 megabits per second, or be used to transmit 24 digitized voice channels. It can be used for phone service in a commercial building or data transfer on a network, while affording service up to 60 times faster than a modem. It uses 2 pair of copper telephone wire meaning it can be available just about anywhere. Some T-1 lines are set up as private point to point connections between two business locations.
An Integrated T1 combines voice and data services (24 channels with data speed of 64 Kbps each) on the same T1 and configured by splitting off a defined number of channels to voice service, leaving the rest for data or internet. When configured this way, the bandwidth for the Internet or data never changes. Integrated has become popular with businesses because of its flexibility. It allows business to run several services such as local and long distance telephone, Internet, and voice over IP (VoIP) over a single circuit at the same time.
A Dynamic T1 is an Integrated T1 with more flexibility. Dynamic gives priority to phone calls but it re-assigns the bandwidth to speed up your broadband when the phone is hung up. This service adapts itself to your needs on a continuous basis.
A Dynamic T1 is an ideal choice for smaller business that needs both telephone lines and Internet broadband. A larger business may need multiple T-1 lines to accommodate multiple employees, but a smaller business needs services sized for the type of company and priced so that it is affordable.
Is Dynamic T-1 service right for your business?
It's certainly more cost effective than buying separate T-1 lines for telephone and Internet access when that's more capacity than you really need. It can also save you money compared to buying a bunch of individual telephone lines and a separate DSL or Cable broadband service that may not be all that reliable and which is almost certain to have latency and jitter issues. Dynamic T-1 service is highly reliable and an excellent value for the money.
