DS-0 (56K or 64K) Synchronous Access
Transported over a dedicated digital circuit, DS-0 connections offer several advantages over dialup connections.
Full Duplex Data Transmission
The ability to transmit and receive data simultaneously allows the connection to be shared by many people without appreciable slowness.
Synchronous Operation
Without the need to waste data on determining which end of the line should be talking, parity and stop/start bits can be saved, increasing performance by 20%.
Leased Line Reliability
The digital line in use is the same type that banks and hospitals have been employing for years due to the enhanced reliability and the 24 hour service that local telephone companies provide for them.
True Digital Clarity
Despite marketing claims, the FCC does not allow modem technology to transmit at data rates above 53Kbps under any circumstance. But even under ideal conditions modem users seldom see connection speeds of higher than 48Kbps. DS-0 connections deliver continuous, guaranteed 56Kbps (or 64K where available) without reconnects and dropouts.
Is this product for you?
DS-0 connections are ideal for small organizations with 10 or fewer users accessing electronic mail and world wide web pages.
