A voice T3 (also known as a DS3), communications circuit offers enormous advantages for medium-to-large businesses seeking top speed and quality of voice traffic, whether for phone operations such as long-distance calling, or for the core phone network at company headquarters. T3 voice technology allows organizations to control the quality and cost of inbound and outbound marketing campaigns, reduce dependence on telecom carriers, and provide better sales and customer service. Once you reach approximately 10-12 T1 lines, it is usually more cost effective to use a voice T3 rather than adding more T1 circuits.
Voice at the speed of light
T3 circuits provide the highest capacity for business communications, since each T3 line represents the aggregated capacity of 28 individual T1 circuits, with a total of nearly 45 Mbps of transmission speed. A T3 line is equivalent to nearly 700 ordinary phone lines used for voice traffic, so voice-over-T3 systems give organizations the power to generate and receive huge volumes of phone calls with operating expenses far below the cost of standard local or long-distance phone services.
The magic of voice T3
A T3 voice line offers the power to dramatically improve business operations, since the data-transfer capability means that all communications can expand, nearly without the same concern of capacity that you had with T1 lines. When a T1 network is overburdened, it slows the work of employees and managers alike. Yet, the larger capacity of T3 allows call centers to expand quickly or handle large temporary call surges, without having to wait 6 weeks for more T1’s to be installed or sending overflow calls to busy signals or a 3rd party call center. When IT decision-makers need to ensure fast, reliable communications, T3 is the answer.
Who needs it?
Almost any call center approaching 6-10 T1 lines is a candidate for a T3, especially if the organization is growing. Although a T3 might initially be slightly more expensive, the ability to expand without limits might outweight the initial slight increase in cost. Once the needed capacity reaches a certain limit, however, the T3 will actually be lower in cost than if your company was still using T1’s.
Advantages & benefits
Low cost
For organizations with multiple employees, T3 is the most economical way to ensure dial tone connectivity with maximum capacity and minimum downtime. T3 voice communications help organizations avoid costly telecom options for voice lines.
Flexibility and scalability
For organizations whose growth or evolving business models require flexibility and scalability, T3 voice provides cost-effective solutions. Instead of making long-term commitments (for multiple T1 lines with non-co-terminous Agreements), to telecom carriers with rigid terms, companies can choose the flexibility of T3, which allows them to quickly refocus resources to those operations where they are currently needed most.
Visibility and control
By using T3 voice communications, IT decision-makers retain full oversight and control over phone-based operations, including the ability to blend communications channels together for call centers and corporate networks.
