A Business Internet DS3 Internet connection (sometimes referred to as a T3 or E3) is a leased private dedicated line that goes directly from your office to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). A DS3/T3 connection is equivalent to 28 T1/DS1 connections and uses digital signals on fiber-optic cable at speeds of 45 million bps (bits per second) or 44.736 megabits per second. Generally, this type of dedicated line is for 50-100+ users and/or high business internet bandwidth applications. DS3/T3 connections can also be used for point to point access (direct connection between 2 business sites).

As a standard used in the North American and Japanese marketplaces, a DS3 Internet line can handle 672, 64Kbps voice conversations or one video data channel. The DS3/T3 line has enough width to transmit full-motion real-time videos and very large databases over a busy service network. Generally, a line would be installed as a major networking channel for a large corporation, research facility, call center, or university with high volume network traffic. But there are multiple smaller scale business uses also.... particularly when multiple locations are involved. Bandwidths for a Fractional T3, up to a full T3, generally run at speeds between 6 Mbps through 45 Mbps.

If your company needs computer access for 50 + users or needs to run high bandwidth applications like video conferencing, you are likely in the market for a T3/E3 connection. A DS3/T3 line is also a viable solution for companies looking to resell bandwidth to their customers. The common T1 line can handle 24 simultaneous voice calls or a high-speed Internet connection speed of 1.54 Mbps. This T1 is usually the solution of choice for small to mid-size businesses. A DS3 line can handle 672 simultaneous voice calls or provide a high speed Internet connection of 45 Mbps.
The DS3/T3 is typically used by business Internet high end data and voice customers as it is the equivalent of 28 T1 lines or 672 voice lines.

Most circuits are "fractional", meaning a portion of the circuit. A DS3/T3 is capable of 45 megabits per second. Fractional DS3s are usually, 8 megabit per second which is equal to about five (5) T1s. Today this is more than fast enough for most all business needs.

The DS3/T3 rates of the circuit is always mileage based. The farther, the distance from your ISPs Central Office (CO) connection the more it will cost. On top of that there is often a bandwidth usage rate. Our T3 prices are very competitive.

A DS3 line provides non optical, high-speed connectivity and transmits data at rates up to 45 mbps. The line has approximately 672 voice grade telephone lines and has the capability of transmitting full motion, real time video and large databases across intensely used, bandwidth hungry networks. Typical installation of the Internet network would include large corporations, universities, and networks with high volume traffic such as call centers, enterprise VoIP and IP PBX systems, Internet service providers, research labs, video conferencing centers and software development companies.

A DS3 is ideal for businesses that are in search of unlimited high-capacity network access. The signal is composed of 28 DS1 signals and constructed using a two-step multiplexing process to convert into seven DS2 signals. The 7-DS2 signals are then, multiplexed into one DS3 signal.

Each step requires bit stuffing for handling the input frequencies and the overhead bits provide the alignment, error checking, in band communications and bit control information.
