ISDN BRI

ISDN is a digital access technology that allows simultaneous, integrated voice and data capabilities.  ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface) uses standard twisted pair cables and is nearly three times faster than a 56Kbps dial-up line.  ISDN BRI consists of two 64Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 16Kbps D (Data) channel. ISDN BRI service provides superior clarity of digital transmission and high speed data interfaces.  Each B channel has the ability to integrate voice and data.

Features:

• Simultaneously supports feature-rich voice and data transmission
• Connects quickly to the Internet, without the wait associated with using a dial-up modem
• Full duplex operation:  bandwidth is the same in both directions
• Circuit switched 64Kbps mode for both voice and data calls

Benefits:

• Clarity:  provides clear voice connections and high-quality data connections
• Security and consistency:  ISDN provides dedicated bandwidth to the user, not shared with anyone else
• Investment protection:  uses existing phone lines (in most cases, the existing analog telephone line can easily be converted for ISDN service);  inter-works with existing telephone and packet data networks;  supports dialed digital connections worldwide
