Pittsburgh and PA Multi-site Networks
Lately
we've come across an increasing number of growing Pittsburgh and PA business that find themselves needing to communicate
securely over the internet. As the number of locations grow, so does the importance of integration and coordination. A Virtual
Private Network with MPLS encryption can turn the web into a virtual pipe that connects all of the many locations of an enterprise,
enabling sensitive data to flow back and forth without the risk of interception. You can build two types of VPN applications;
an intranet VPN and a extranet LAN connection. Both allow users in multiple locations to work in a shared, secure environment.
Best of all, a VPN allows you to scale the size of your network quickly and cheaply, compared to the old-school leased T-1
line approach. We have many T-carriers that specialize in VPN and even in double-encrypted VPN, but best of all we have specialists
who have extensive experience that you can draw on to create a cost effective solution for your business.
Pittsburgh Voice T1 Service
Many Pittsburgh and other web sites you will find during
your search for dedicated services will focus exclusively on broadband (Fractional T1 through OCX). Here at ShopforT1 you
will find that we have a unique focus on voice t1 services for the greater Pittsburgh area, both local and long distance,
including the popular PRI (23 voice channels plus 1 data channel dedicated for the transfer of information, such as Caller
ID for example). Our product specialists have many years of experience helping inbound and outbound call centers, customer
support centers, dental offices, law offices, and other business who rely heavily on reliable business telephone service.
Not only will we save you the most money, we'll figure out a way to do it without sacrificing the integrity of your t1
voice service.
Recently we added dynamic integrated T-carrier service which has been a hugely
popular with SMB's throughout the country. These digital trunks allow you to use all 24 channels for high-speed data broadband
connectivity in the event that none of your voice channels are in use. The majority of the time you are able to effectively
receive a full 1.54 Mbps, not to mention a new feature-rich voice T1 with local PRI and voice access to the outside world.
Not only do these dynamic T1s come with more capability, they also come at a fraction of the cost of old analog circuits.
Currently, the average price of a dynamic instraged circuit is $450, as opposed to $750 for a standard integrated access line.

Definitions of DSL
(
Digital subscriber Line)
Courtesy of ShopforDSL.com
Definition 1. - A method for moving data over regular phone lines. A DSL circuit
is much faster than a regular phone connection, and the wires coming into the subscriber’s premises are the same (copper)
wires used for regular phone service. A commonly discussed configuration of DSL allows downloads at speeds of up to 1.5 megabits
per second. This arrangement is called an ADSL: Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line.
Definition 2. - This is technology that uses ordinary copper telephone lines
to provide Internet speeds ranging from 1.5 to 9 Mbps--speeds that are 30 to 50 times faster than a regular 56-kbps dial-up
modem. DSL also allows users to receive voice and data simultaneously, since the signal is carried on a higher frequency than
normal telephone communications. xDSL refers to all types of Digital Subscriber Lines, including: ADSL: Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Lines SDSL: single-line digital subscriber lines HDSL: high-data-rate digital subscriber lines VDSL: very-high-data-rate
digital subscriber lines.
Definition 3. - Technology that dramatically increases the digital capacity of ordinary telephone lines. The distance from the customer
to the telco central office determines DSL speeds. Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) is for Internet access, where fast downstream is
required, but slow upstream is acceptable. Symmetric DSL (SDSL) is best for connections that need high speed in both directions.
DSL provides "always-on" operation. At the Central Office, DSL traffic is aggregated in a unit called the DSL Access
Multiplexor (DSLAM) and forwarded to the appropriate ISP or data network. DSL can compete with cable modems in bringing multimedia
and 3-D to homes and small businesses.
Definition 4. - Short for Digital Subscriber Line, DSL technologies use sophisticated modulation schemes to send data
over the copper wire used for your phone connection and is considered high speed or broadband Internet access.
