Voice T1 is a form of telephone line service that allows multiple users, phones, and computer modems to have access simultaneously. Up to 24 lines can be accessed at one time.

Voice T1 is different than a typical home phone line because it has more than one channel, at a higher speed, and with greater bandwidth. T1 lines, like basic phone lines, can be used to connect both telephone jacks and computer modems.

T1 lines increase the amount of multimedia information that can be transmitted over the line. This is helpful in a small business situation where 5 to 30 users require access to phone and Internet service.

A standard phone line cannot handle high amounts of voice and data traffic. T1 lines can handle 60 times the amount of data as basic home phone lines.

There are various types of Voice T1 lines and services. They are briefly described below:

-Integrated T1-5 to 30 users (Internet and phone access)

-Partial T1- up to 20 users (partial use of 24 channels via Internet and phone access)

-Multiple T1- 50%2B users (allows for high traffic data exchange plus point to point access)

-T1 with DSL- 10 to 50 users (Internet and phone access plus point to point access)

Pricing and Voice T1

Business owners should research several phone and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) before purchasing a service package. Growing businesses should budget for additional features since they will most likely need to upgrade for more bandwidth, higher storage capacity, and more channels.

Purchasing multiple T1 lines is a logical next step in business growth. Larger business may want to upgrade to T3 internet service. T3 service is exceptionally efficient for medium to large-sized businesses and is more cost-effective than multiple T1 lines.

Voice T1 lines can save you money over the traditional POTS lines to the fact that they offer 24 channels. This will depend on the monthly loop charge. The closer you are to the central office of the phone carrier, the cheaper your loop cost will be.

Businesses rent the lines as well as paying monthly rates for their ISPs. An option for businesses with varying amounts of data is the partial T1 line. This line offers only a partial number of available channels (less than 24) but it can be rented at a discounted rate.

Integrated T1 service can be affordable if businesses can find companies that they frequently use working in tandem. Multiple T1 service offers multiple lines as well as the capacity to stream video for video conferencing. This is an excellent option for large businesses not yet ready to commit to T3 service.
