Bonded T1 - What Is It and How Does it Help?
|
What is a Bonded T1 First of all, you may be wondering what exactly a bonded T1 actually is. Well, it's really quite simple. I really only means that you have two different T1 lines that come from one provider, and you use a special way to join them up together. This allows you to combine the internet data so you are able to get 3. 0 Mbps, helping you to get phone or voice use. However, if the two T1s are not with the very same provider, you won't be able to bond them together. What Happens if the T1's are Unbonded? So, what happens if the T1s are unbonded? Well, if you don't bond them together, the entire 3. 0Mbps of bandwidth can't be used altogether at the same time. You would only be able to use 1. 5 Mbps to upload or download, even though you have two of them. While it sounds a bit strange, unless you actually bond these T1's together, then you won't have the max bandwidth available How Many T1's Can Be Bonded? When it comes to bonding together T1's, you will find that you can bond together more than just two of them. Some people have bonded together up to eight of them, but usually it's best to bond together no more than four T1's at once. If you think that you may need more than four T1's that are bonded together, then going with a DS3 may be a better choice for you. Of course you'll have to figure out what capability requirements you have and you'll need to figure out if this is an option that is going to be cost efficient to you as well. Have a Consultant Help You A telecommunications consultant may be able to help you. Turning to a consultant is a great idea, especially if you are not sure how to go about making a bonded T1. They can also provide you with more information on how it works and what all it can provide you with as well. So, if you have questions, speaking to a consultant is a great idea and it's probably free too. About The Author: |
