WHAT IS ISDN BRI?
ISDN provides high performance, fully digital access to
the worldwide telecommunications network - through standard
copper telephone lines. This fast, digital transmission
service is available virtually everywhere within the Verizon
region. From offices, homes, and remote locations, ISDN
lets you tap resources and use new business applications
where video images and data flow simultaneously on the same
line with fax transmissions and phone conversations.
DO I NEED ISDN BRI?
You can benefit from ISDN BRI if you need to:
Support a wide range of applications and emerging trends.
ISDN BRI enables a seamless exchange of information in any
medium - voice, data, or video - at high speeds.
Use one of today's most innovative, fully integrated communications
solutions. With ISDN BRI, you can do more - faster and with
fewer resources.
Provide a remote access program. ISDN BRI lets you take
advantage of the new forces shaping the workplace - including
teleworkers, dispersed project teams, resource sharing,
on-line connectivity, and the need to provide better customer
service.
HOW DOES ISDN BRI WORK?
ISDN sends clear digital signals at high speeds over regular
phone lines. Without a major network investment, ISDN enables
your existing phone line to carry voice, data, and video
traffic at speeds over four times faster than a 28.8 Kbps
analog line without compression. With compression, speeds
can be even faster. Voice calls can be made more quickly
and with superior call quality because ISDN is digital.
If you already have a Centrex system, combining ISDN with
Centrex gives your voice system additional power and improves
productivity.
WHY ISDN BRI?
With ISDN BRI, you can:
-
Increase productivity using ISDN's
higher speeds - ISDN utilizes two separate 64 Kbps (kilobits
per second) channels which can be combined into one 128
Kbps "channel" that's over four times faster
than today's 28.8 Kbps modems.
-
Access faster data transmission speeds
resulting in shorter connection times and lower usage
costs.
-
Avoid the costs and inflexibility of
dedicated lines - the same ISDN line can be used to carry
both voice and data so there's no need to wait for a fax
to finish before making a call.
-
Take advantage of productivity enhancing
applications such as remote LAN (Local Area Network) access,
videoconferencing, pre-press graphics, postproduction
editing, and digita broadcasting that can reduce travel
costs and product development time.
-
Enjoy clear, digital transmission that
results in fewer errors and re-transmissions and greater
network reliability - all of which save you time and increase
productivity.
-
Back up overflow dedicated services,
such as Frame Relay, to ensure against outages or high
volume congestion - cost effective insurance for mission-critical
information.
