How can I connect two T1 lines together for increased bandwidth?
Question : How can I connect two T1 lines together for increased bandwidth?
I am ordering 2 new T1 lines for my company, one with 16 analog VOIP lines, and the other with IP internet services only. My ISP tells me they can only connect the two lines together if I get a digital VOIP line, but our phone system isn’t compatible with digital lines.
My problem is that I am throwing away a lot of usable bandwidth on the VOIP T1 line that can be used to supplement our data T1 line. Is there any device on the market that will allow me to bridge these two connections?
Thanks in Advance!
A new PBX system (which I did look into) will cost us about $ 25,000. My bosses will not spend the extra 25k for a phone system just to get some bandwidth. The Idea behind going with VOIP was to save on the phone bills compared to a Telco line. If I were to say lets spend an extra 25k to get a new phone system to, then I would have no T1 line at all, and we would keep our slow 384k DSL service.

Ask about a T3 line.
Use the money that you think you are “throwing away” on the unused 8 channels of that VOIP T1 and buy a new PBX.
Also, the unused 8 channels on your VOIP T1 are blocked by your service provider. You won’t be able to use those channels for anything unless you buy digital service on those 8 channels or you do some kind of subrate DS1 service. Both of which will cost you more money. Even more reason to upgrade your PBX instead.
