A T3 connection is a dedicated digital high-speed circuit used for voice, data or both and is a large version of the T1, a digital connection with 24 channels.
The T3 can transmit at speeds up to 45 million BPS and is a super-high speed connection.
The T3 is equal to a bandwidth of 672 regular telephone lines. This large bandwidth is able to be used for any application such as transmission of real-time streaming video and can transmit large data files quickly.
Large universities, campus environments and corporations with high network traffic should get a T3 because it is best suited for a large connection. It is also used as the backbone for major Internet providers.
Typically if you have large traffic volumes and the need for wide bandwidth to support large applications the T3 is suited for you. T3 costs can be prohibitive for smaller users.
The advantages of the T3 include reliability when it comes to connection with a super-fast speed. The large bandwidth can accommodate current applications and also new applications as they come along.
Another advantage of a T3 is it an engineered circuit, thus making it the most dependable connection available. T3 circuits are monitored through the provider. Problems can easily and quickly be corrected with no impact to the users if any troubles arise.
The cost of the T3 will certainly be made up in the first year of service. T3 circuit monthly costs are usually less than the same amount of regular telephone lines would be.
