BayArea.net - DS1/T1 Dedicated Access, Scalable T1

Need more bandwidth than a single or dual T1 solution can provide? Looking to reduce costs on an existing DS3 circuit? Our scalable T1 solution is an excellent choice for either need. Short of co-locating your server infrastructure in our high-availability data center with massive paths to the Internet, another alternative for getting more bandwidth and reliability is to aggregate multiple T1's into a single high-bandwidth pipe to the Internet.

Our Scalable T1 solution can provide up to 8 full-rate T1's aggregated into a single connection to the Internet. By multiplexing two or more T1 lines, this very scalable solution provides from 3 Mbps (dual T1) to 12 Mbps (eight T1's) of bandwidth. Depending on the need for throughput and/or reliability, this solution can be a better choice and often less expensive than an equivalent DS3/T3 solution.

Finally a reasonable priced higher bandwidth access solution that can bridge the gap between the limited availability and high costs of DS3/T3 services.

Inverse multiplexing is the solution. Inverse multiplexing enables the transport of data at a faster rate than T1, and less expensively than T3. In addition, the technology provides built-in high-availability features that allow you to have a fault-tolerant connection that supports continued connectivity despite the fact that single or multiple T1 links may have failed (Self-Healing Fabric). Using QuickEagle DL3800 Inverse Multiplexers as the core technology platform this solution connects high-speed data terminal or network equipment to multiple T1 links, providing aggregate data rates up to 12 Mbps. It receives data on a single HSSI, V.35 or RS-449 interface and multiplexes the bit stream into one aggregate pipe equal to the number of speeds of each T1 circuit or a transmission speed of Nx1.5 Mbps. The DL3800 T1 Inverse Multiplexer provides a scalable and cost-effective alternative to leasing a DS3/T3 line. Or, in areas where DS3/T3 links are not available or feasible, the DL3800 T1 Inverse Multiplexer provides an excellent reliable and manageable solution to increasing bandwidth demands beyond single or dual T1 capacity.

The following figure shows the typical topology and connectivity scheme for a scalable T1 solution.

Key Benefits:

Multiple T1 or Frame Relay connections could also be terminated on separate carrier networks. This provisioning approach reduces the possibility of a single Telco network failure disrupting your connectivity to the global Internet.

A T1-based solution can be delivered to any location that has telephone services. In some cases, wiring may not be readily available for multiple T1 lines (each T1 typically requires 2 pairs of copper wire). Check with your local telephone company or telecommunications provider to determine if the required facilities are available. This service requires copper terminations on both ends of each T1 line. Fiber mux terminations or end-links (hubs) are not supported (two channel terminations required).
