Product Overview

Businesses that require flexibility for use of diverse applications like personal computers, fax machines or video can look to BRI for superior performance compared to an analogue dial-up line. Telecommuting and the ability to access the Internet are simple and efficient with BRI. Business people who want the flexibility of working from home combined with the efficiency of working at the office can use BRI for the best of both worlds. One of the two 64kbps channels can be used for a regular phone line, and the other can be used for a personal computer to LAN connection.

Efficiently accessing Internet Web sites filled with graphics requires a higher bandwidth than what is available through phone lines that use analogue modems. With BRI, customers can enjoy speeds that are up to 10 time faster.
  • 64kbps or 128kbps speeds with one BRI service -- at a price much lower than dedicated data access service.
  • A Phone line and a 64kbps data line in one service charge
  • Access to most cities in Alberta (where distance to a TELUS CO supporting ISDN is within acceptable parameters)
  • Dial access to many other BRI locations in North America
  • Dial-up LAN to LAN at 128kbps speeds for short duration links
HIGHER SPEEDS (T1 - 1,44Mbps) if you use inverse Muxing to combine Multiple ISDN lines
  • Flexibility -- allowing users and IT Managers to tailor Connections to various locations at LAN or other link speeds by using different numbers of ISDN lines at different times.
  • Disaster Recovery linking to support sites or Back-up Data with Dial flexibility and ISDN speed options.
