Modern Day Rise Of T3 Lines

T1 and T3 lines are common leased lines used in the area of telecommunications. Both T1 and T3 are reserved circuits that operate on fiber optic or copper wire cables. A T1 line is a completely digital line and it can handle 24 voice calls simultaneously. A T3 line is a completely digital line but equivalent to 28 T1 lines.

A single T3 line can handle 672 voice calls simultaneously providing a high-speed Internet connection of approximately 45 Mbps. It’s an integrated service and it can work as combination of lesser voice calls with high-speed Internet. One T3 line has enough bandwidth to transmit full-motion, real-time videos and database on busy networks. Besides long-distance T3 line also commonly forms the basis of a major business network headquarter.

All over the world, big Internet providers are running on the network on T3 lines. Mostly, organizations pay monthly or yearly rent for T1 and T3 lines. Even though it’s greatly useful, most organizations and individuals are prevented from using T3 leased line because of heavy costs. Monthly rent for a T1 line can start from $250 and above. For T3 line monthly rent usually starts from $2,800.

T3 lines are mainly used to provide data networking and/or voice services amongst different offices of an organization that are geographically very far across. This is one main reason that even with its not-so-low-cost most global institutions like big universities and large corporations choose T3 lines for their networking base.

Today, usage of T3 lines is growing at a rapid pace because of the emerging new technologies coming to market that need a T3 line’s speed and reliability. Some such latest technologies are voice-over-IP, virtual meetings, telepresence and IP telephony.

There is one other reason that makes corporations choose T3 over T1. When such organizations need more capacity at a short notice they have to buy access capacity which costs them even more than a normal T3 line would cost initially.

Today, the world is perhaps in its most frugal shape than many from our generation have ever seen it. Organizations are increasingly looking to cut down costs by reducing their overheads and variable expenses. Most organizations have already ceased a lot of discretionary spending such as travel, meeting, transportation, etc. Hence there is an automatic pressure on these organizations to offset it by increasing their performance level and that’s where T3′s strength is.
