Frame Relay Quotes

“When the top frame relay providers must compete for your business, you win!”

Frame relay is designed to provide cost effective data transmission over a shared network. Frame relay derived its name from the fact that it transfers data via various sized units referred to as frames. These frames are commonly transmitted through a shared network. Frame relay is many times faster than its predecessors, such as x.25, because frame relay is a streamlined protocol designed for speed. (For more about frame relay please click here)

Frame Relay Definition Continued.

This protocol flourishes because it is designed to compliment modern digital lines which are virtually noise free. With frame relay, data transmission usually originates through the private line of a customer, transfers to a shared network at the nearest frame relay switch, travels the majority of its distance through the shared frame relay network, and then transfers to the private line closest to the receiving customer. Frame relay is normally less expensive than point-to-point lines because many customers use and share the cost of the frame relay network, rather than each paying for a private line for the entire distance their data is transmitted. Private line cost is distance sensitive, so the longer the distance utilized via a shared network, the greater the cost savings experienced by the customer. Another factor which makes frame relay less expensive than point-to-point is that the nearest frame relay node is often much closer to the customer than the provider’s central office. This results in less private line distance being calculated into pricing. An additional benefit is that with frame relay it is often possible to connect to a provider which is hundreds of miles away for close to the same price as connecting to a local provider. For this reason, the number of providers which can be compared is significantly expanded. Frame relay is primarily used for the transmission of intermediate data between LANs, and between end points of a wide area network. The rapid increase in use of LANs and increased availability of fiber optic links has resulted in increased usage of frame relay. Frame relay is at times used for video conferencing, however, point-to-point lines are much better suited for the on-going high rate of bandwidth required by video conferencing. For companies which can afford point-to-point and absolutely require the best stability and most secure line possible, point-to-point continues to be considered a preferred option.

Use Long Distance T1 and Save Money

Written by: Dennis Green - Jul 5, 2008

Long distance T1 is an excellent solution for companies which pay more than $500 per month for their long distance telephone service. $500 is provided as a break even point because a long distance T1 circuit costs between $100 and $300 per month, depending on the location of your company. Businesses which can justify the monthly reoccurring charge of a long distance circuit, will experience significantly reduced per minute charges for their domestic long distance usage. For example, businesses which use switched long distance service commonly pay between three and six cents per minute for their outgoing out of state, and incoming out of state toll free (800#) calls. With a long distance t1 circuit however, these companies can reduce these costs to a penny a minute for outgoing out-of-state calls, and 1.2 cents per minute for incoming toll free lines. There is also significant savings for in-state long distance with a long distance T1, however, specifics cannot be provided in this article due varying tariffs on in-state long distance rates, which vary in each state. These tariffs only apply to in-state long distance calls. They do not apply to out of state calls.

Each long distance T1 provides 24 phone circuits. Each long distance T1 PRI provides 23 usable voice circuits. The limitation of long distance t1 is that it does not facilitate free local calling. If free local calls are needed, then local voice T1 might be a better option. If the majority of a company's calls are long distance, then integrated local and long distance t1 might be preferable, or a long distance T1 in conjunction with a few POTS (Plain old telephone service) lines.
