Using T1 Connection For Voice Transmission

in article •  6 years ago 

T1 connections are basically high speed data and voice connections. When you subscribe for a T1 connection the service provider lays optic fiber cables at your premises and you get a dedicated connection to the server of the internet service provider.

A conventional telephone line converts the voice of the speaker into analog signals which are transported through copper wires and get reconverted into sound at the receiver's end. This has been the only mode of voice communication through the years and by itself is still a reasonably efficient means of communication.

But with globalization and liberalization being the driving force of most of the economies of the world and with phenomenally improved transportation facilities, business has become a multinational phenomenon and physical distances are no longer an insurmountable barrier.

With the spread of the business being far and wide, the need for rapid, uninterrupted and noise free communication has become the order of the day. The volume of communication has increased manifold and so is the need for a hyper efficient and reliable medium through which such communication can be done.

T1 service is another way making your voice communication more reliable and hassle free. The digital circuitry uses channels to carry voice and data. The capacity of such channels is far more than the conventional phone lines. In one such channel twenty four separate calls can be made! That is to say, if you take one T1 connection, you are actually taking twenty four telephone lines.

Instead of converting your voice in to analog signals, it is converted into digital signals and then transmitted over optic fiber cables. This lends extreme clarity to the spoken words ' the receiver can hear exactly what is spoken without the accompanying noise or hum which is common in conventional phone lines.

Since the optic fiber cables carry any sort of digitized data, a T1 connection can be used for both the purposes. So, popularly T1 connections are referred to either as voice T1 or data T1.

The beauty of T1 lies in its flexibility. In conventional phones, lines are assigned to users. But in this sort of voice communication it is not so. Suppose you are in desperate need of some business discussion on the phone. You find that your boss's phone is free but you can't go in his cabin and use that instrument since he is busy in a meeting. What do you do? Well, twiddle your thumbs and perspire in anxiety!

But if your office has a T1 connection, you can call from any phone within the office and if at least one channel is free at that point of time; you would be able to communicate.

This flexibility allows maximum and most efficient utilization of a T1 service. To put matters in perspective, a twenty four channel T1 connection can serve at least one hundred members of an office without difficulty. Since this connection can utilized in a much better way, it is advisable to give this option a serious thought.
