Having a T1 line, means that the phone company brings a
fiber optic line into your office (a T1 line might also
come in on copper). A T1 line can carry 24 digitized
voice channels, or it can carry data at a rate of 1.544
megabits per second. If the T1 line is being used for
telephone conversations, it plugs into the office's phone
system. If it is carrying data it plugs into the network's
router.
A T1 line can carry about 192,000 bytes per second,
roughly 60 times more data than a normal residential
modem. It is also extremely reliable -- much more reliable
than an analog modem. Depending on what they are doing, a
T1 line can generally handle quite a few people. For
general browsing, hundreds of users are easily able to
share a T1 line comfortably. If they are all downloading
MP3 files or video files simultaneously it would be a
problem, but that still isn't extremely common. |
