DS3 is a 45 mbps (megabits per second) circuit. A DS3, commonly referred to as T3, is the equivalent of 28 DS1s (commonly known as T1s).

Coverage Area

Unlike DSL and other broadband technologies that are limited to only densely populated areas, T1 service is available just about anywhere with a phone line. T1, also known as DS1, uses repeaters to boost up the signal strength of the transmission - allowing it to travel up to 50 miles away from the nearest Central Office location.

DS3 Prices Continued.

DS3 price is determined by market conditions, cost of facilities, and most important, distance from the point of presence (PoP) of the quoting provider. The further a business is from the PoP, the more it costs to extend a DS3 circuit to this business. Another aspect of DS3 price is the “build-out” of proper wiring to and at the served premise. DS3 requires special wiring. Most businesses are not properly wired, or “lit” for DS3. In these cases, installation of appropriate wiring can cost thousands of dollars. If the end user needs less than 12 mbps, bonded DS1 (bonded T1) can be a much less expensive alternative. Since a bonded DS1 circuit only requires two pairs of phone lines, it can be installed free of charge to virtually any business location in the US. If your business premise is wired for DS3 (lit), then full DS3 can provide substantial savings for bandwidths over 12 mbps. If more than 12 mbps is needed but a full DS3 is not, fractional or burstable DS3 are often more cost effective options. However, with any form of DS3, the cost of build-out will be a reality if the building which will be served is not lit. Because the cost of build-out cannot be determined without much assessment by trained technicians, build-out charges are very seldom included with DS3 quotes. Most major providers will not endure the expense of build-out assessment until after the customer commits to a signed application. Commonly, if build-out proves to be too expensive, then the application is terminated without cost to the customer. Regardless of cost of build-out, because price per mbps for full DS3 is commonly less than half than price per mbps of T1, the resulting monthly savings compensates for DS3 build-out costs within a few months.

Is PRI the Right Choice for Your Company?

Written by: Dennis Green - Nov 21, 2008

PRI (Primary Rate Interface) is an ISDN connection designed to be provided over T1 lines. In the United States, a PRI line consists of 24 (64 kbps each) DS0 channels. PRI T1 lines are commonly configured so that 23 channels serve as B (Bearer) channels and one as a D (delta) channel. Each B channel serves as a voice (telephone) channel. The D channel provides control and signaling information for the B channels. B channels can be used as independent channels to simultaneously provide a variety of services such as internet, voice, or imaging. They also have the flexibility to be bonded, as needed, to provide higher bandwidth for special needs such as video conferencing. A significant difference between PRI T1 and traditional integrated T1 is that T1s which are not PRI require a portion of each channel to be allocated for signaling functions. This results in a reduction in effectiveness, efficiency, potential and bandwidth for most functions of each channel of non-PRI T1. With T1 PRI, all signaling functions are provided by the 24th channel. This leaves each of the other 23 channels with a full 64 kbps, which can be fully dedicated to bearer functions. One D channel can provide signaling functions for several other PRI lines. It is not uncommon for two D channels (one as primary, one for backup) to provide the signaling functions for a span of as many as 20 PRI T1 lines. This frees the 24th channel of each of the other PRI lines so that they can be used as additional bearer channels. Because PRI lines serve as a direct connection to the telephone company’s central office, PRI is often the preferred choice of PBX customers. PRI T1 provides many advantages over traditional voice T1. These include: call by call service selection, more PBX users can be supported, caller ID, DID (direct inward dial) numbers, messaging, and video conferencing. Because of increased efficiency provided by PRI, companies which switch to PRI from traditional voice T1 often find that they not only receive a much greater variety of services but often do not need to pay for as many trunks as they needed prior to the change. PRI T1 is available in most major metropolitan areas, but is not available in most isolated rural areas.
