Almost all residences and businesses currently have two pairs of copper wires running to them. DS1 lines are capable of delivering 1.54 Mbps simultaneously in both directions, one direction for each pair of copper lines. Because DS1 data service is repeater driven (signal is digitally reestablished about every 6000 feet), it is available several miles from telephone central offices. For this reason, DS1 service can be available to virtually all businesses in the US. DS1 lines are dedicated, in that they are always connected, and are also extremely stable. Most reputable providers include service level agreements, which guarantee the reliability of the DS1 data lines they offer. DS1 circuits can transfer data in many forms to accomplish a variety of functions. These include: fractional DS1 (commonly 128 Kbps to 756 Kbps), burstable (less expensive for companies which normally do not need a full DS1/T1, but at times due to peak work loads, need a burst to full DS1 bandwidth), integrated (one DS1 line comprised of any combination the types of DS1/T1 listed here), channelized DS1 (another name for integrated T1),
point-to-point (direct and constant DS1 connection between to locations), voice (telephone), dynamic integrated, pri (voice service which includes added features such as caller ID), and frame relay (a T1 network between two or more locations). Each of these types of DS1/T1 has advantages over the others, depending on the specific needs of your company. Also, the availability of each is based on the offerings of each DS1 provider and the geographic location.
