- Combine voice and data communications with the flexibility to add capacity when you need it.
- Re-allocate capacity at any time.
- Expect up to 1.544 Mbps of capacity – the equivalent of a T1 line.
Availability
AT&T offers ISDN Primary Rate Interface service within AT&T's regional service areas, and nationally in select cities.
ISDN PRI is a high-speed digital connection for voice and data between your PBX and the AT&T public switched telephone network. It consolidates 23 voice or data service channels on one 1.544 Mbps transport line into a PBX or computer network. It simplifies PBX access to many applications, including LAN-to-LAN connectivity and videoconferencing. When used for trunking, you can improve PBX capacity and can transmit voice, WATS, toll-free and circuit-switched data calls. With dynamic call allocation you can use the same line for different voice or data applications as needed.
- Any channel can carry any kind of connection, eliminating single-purpose trunks such as Direct Inward Dial (DID), Direct Outward Dial (DOD), and dedicated video or data lines.
- If data is your main communication need, the inward data option supports analog, digital data calls, and a digital data only option.
- Carry signaling information over a separate channel and speed up the origination, termination, or any other changes required to process your calls.
- Allocate more channels to an application in multiples of 64 Kbps.
- A specialized ISDN-based trunking solution, PrimeConnect PRI is available for applications and locations that receive very high volumes (200,000 to 400,000 minutes per month) of inbound-only traffic.
- Nationwide coverage with a competitive pricing structure
- The ability to support multiple call types makes the most efficient use of your available bandwidth
- Unsurpassed performance that comes with 100% digital connectivity
- Faster call set up time
- Support provided by AT&T's industry-leading 24 hour network monitoring and management center
