Saving with Integrated T1 Is Easy. But How Do You Get Reliable Customer Support Plus a Project Manager to Handle the Switchover for Free?
Integrated Access is the smart way for businesses to transition from standard business lines to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) without the need to replace your current phone equipment. Increased Internet performance and voice flexibility provide a solid communications platform meeting expanding needs of your business.
Offered under different names, Integrated Access gives you the combination of voice and Internet access on a single high speed pipe, normally a T1 or multiple bonded T1 connection. This high-speed connection dynamically allocates bandwidth between voice calls and Internet access for optimal performance.
Integrated Access users typically realize 30% or more in savings by bundling services and reductions in taxes and federal access fees.
How Integrated Voice and Data Dynamic T1 Benefits Your Company
- Simple way to utilize VOIP to maximize telecom/Internet value.
- Cut costs – combining Internet, voice, and long distance is the key in the “new” technology environment.
- Maximizes Bandwidth – when the phone lines aren’t in use 100% of the bandwidth is available for Internet access providing full T1 (or n X T1) speeds for uploads and downloads.
- Increased efficiency by managing voice and data using a single carrier.

- Circuit speeds from 1.5 MBps to 6.0 MBps.
- Both voice and data run on a single network.
- The power of IP technology to maximize performance of the current system.
- Uses a dedicated dynamic T1 (or n X T1) circuit for Internet access (instead of DSL or Cable) for faster, more stable connections and lower costs.
- Supports standard dial tone connections or integrated T1/PRI connectivity with DID service.

“Moving to Integrated Access greatly improved our Internet access and performance while significantly reducing our overall costs by combining our voice, Internet, and Long Distance in a single package.” Patti Reavis, General Manager, Comfort Inns of Durango.
Examples of Companies Benefiting from Integrated Access
Example #1) A business currently using 5 or more phone lines and DSL
Integrated Access will greatly enhance your Internet connectivity. While the five lines can be delivered on Integrated Access exactly like the five lines you currently have, many businesses upgrade their lines for Direct Dialing capability so callers can reach any phone directly without going through an operator. Included long distance bundles with IA saves your business money.
Example #2) A business currently using a PRI or T1 for voice and DSL or T1 for Internet access.
Integrated access reduces your costs and allows you to “fine tune” the number of voice lines you use and pay for. Most businesses with a PRI or T1 for voice service do not need all 23 voice channels. With integrated access you can have PRI or T1 connectivity and choose how many voice channels you have access to (and pay for) – maybe 12 or 16 will do the job.
Even though you currently have a T1 for Internet using a 3.0 MBps pipe for integrated access will enhance your Internet speeds by over 50%! With the long distance package included, IA will provide you with a better tuned package of products to enhance services and cut costs.
