Business Internet Service Information:The Internet, in simplest terms, is the large group of millions of computers around the world that are all connected to one another. These computers are connected by phone lines, fiber optic lines, coaxial cable, satellites, and wireless connections. The Web is like a huge encyclopedia of information - in some ways it is even better. The volume of information you will find on the Web is amazing. An Internet T1 is an unchannelized T-1 in which a router or data switch multiplexes data packets (i.e., packets, frames or cells) through a "clear" pipe without channelization to provide 1.544 Mbps of bandwidth directly to and from the Internet. A T1 line uses two wire pairs (one for transmit, one for receive) and time division multiplexing (TDM) to interleave 24 64 Kbps voice or data channels with standard frames of 193 bits long, which holds 24 8-bit voice samples and one synchronization bit with 8,000 frames transmitted per second. The Internet is both a transport network that moves every form of data around the world (voice, video, data and images) and a network of computers that allow you (and them) to access, retrieve, process and store information. Internet over Ethernet connects your Local Area Network (LAN) physical link and data link at the two lowest layers of the OSI Reference Model to the Internet at speeds of up to multiple Gigabits per second (Gbps). Extend your Local Area Network to all of your business locations over the Internet using Internet over Ethernet. A Tier 2 Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a local Internet provider offering T1 or DS3 service in a regional area that might have their own facilities interconnecting different serving offices in a region, but they would have to send the traffic to a Tier I provider if the traffic goes outside their region. Tier 2 ISPs makes money by buying a fixed amount of bandwidth, and then selling it to many subscribers at an over-subscription ratio that maintains a diluted version of Tier 1 performance that is still acceptable in service quality. A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network in which some of the links between nodes are carried by open connections or virtual circuits over the Internet as opposed to running across a private network. A T3 (also known as a DS-3) Internet connection is an ultra high-speed circuit capable of transmitting data at rates of up to 45 Megabits per second (Mbps) and is the equivalent of approximately 672 regular voice-grade telephone lines and is fast enough to handle bandwidth intensive applications such as web hosting, full-motion real-time video, and very large database feeds over a busy network that is also providing Internet service for web browsing, email transmission, and Voice over IP (VoIP). |
