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

Need more bandwidth than a single T1 but do not want to spend the money for a whole DS3 circuit?

Our scalable T1 solution is an excellent choice. 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.

The following figure shows the typical topology and connectivity scheme for a high-availability dual T1 connection.

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 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).

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

Key Benefits:

Multiple T1 connections can 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). 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).
