An Overview of Dedicated
Business Services
As the telecommunications needs of your business grow, dedicated
business services can provide for the greater capacities and better financial performance
you need. These services are provided over a T-1 digital circuit or other broadband
connection. The follow are brief descriptions of dedicated business services:
- Dedicated Voice Services: This service provides
the equivalent of 24 voice lines over a single T-1 connection. All the usual voice
services (Local, Interstate, Intrastate, International, and Toll Free) are available.
If your business uses 50,000 minutes of service per month and your communication
expenses are in the range of $2,500 per month or more you should explore this service.

1.5 megabits per second capacity for uploading and downloading data from the Internet.
It will require additional hardware to connect it to your LAN or servers. This service
can meet the needs of most business applications.

- Integrated Service: Integrated service does all
of the above and it can provide you with the cost advantages of dedicated services even
though you may not be using enough of any one service to cost justify a full T-1
service. It works by combining two or more of your services (local, long distance, and
Internet access) on one T-1.

- Private Lines: Private lines are used to connect
multiple locations together and can be good solutions for locations that are near one
another or for applications where security is of paramount concern. Private lines can
be ordered from single line (64kps) through T-1 (1.5 mps) and larger capacities and can
carry most telecommunications and data services.
