Integrated Services

Network integration services

This service can help you:

Integration services helps you to Design, integrate and

deploy network infrastructures that are both efficient and
adaptable.

1. change network design to respond to changing business

requirements
2. Implement complex network upgrades, refreshes,

expansions .

Network Integration Services believes in the power of technology to

solve business challenges. But technology alone is no solution

success requires understanding, expertise, application, integration. NIS
is a leading provider of integrated engineering solutions for the design,
upgrade and expansion of business networks

3. Improve network availability and performance.

4. Manage costs.
5. Simplify project coordination and accelerate

implementation schedules.
Your network is like the central nervous system of your business. All of

your communications, business processes and applications depend on

it. But changing business processes and technologies, geographically
dispersed users and sites, and multivendor requirements can make it
difficult for your network to keep pace.
Based on a proven delivery model for networking, Network Integration
Services can help ensure your networks ability to provide the level of
availability and performance your business requires.

6. Reduce the risks associated with making changes to the

network.
7. Improve service delivery and control the cost of network

monitoring and management.

What is broadband ?
Definition: Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just
"broadband", is a high data rate connection to the internet. & its not
dependant on telephone line.
What is the difference between broadband & dial-up
connections?
Dial-up modems are limited to a bit rate of less than 56 kbps and
require the dedicated use of a telephone line
2. but (whereas) broadband technologies supply more than double this
rate and generally without disrupting telephone use & its faster it has
256kbps or more in speed.
Data rates are defined in terms of maximum download because several
common consumer broadband technologies such as ADSL.
1.

"Broadband penetration" is now treated as a key economic indicator

How we can identify broadband connection?

Broadband is often called "high-speed" access to the Internet, because it

usually has a high rate of data transmission. In general, any
connection to the customer of 256 kbps or greater is more concisely
considered broadband Internet access.

Broadband ISDN
What is ISDN?
Definition:

ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a type of digital

phone/data and Internet service that REPRESENTS ADSL , DSL
(Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) & (synchronous Digital Subscriber
Line) & OTHER DEVICES.
Definition: Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of communications
standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data, and other
network services over the traditional circuits of the public switched telephone
network.
WHY Dial-up modems & connections are slow?
Normal telephone lines carry analog signals that must be amplified and
converted to digital signals by the phone company. This process introduces
not only a slight DELAY time, but also distortion in the signal.
Why ISDN broadband are fast?

Dial-up modems and telephones are examples of equipment that use analog

signals. ISDN makes use of digital signals running along existing

copper lines to increase the data INPUT & OUTPUT, reduce BUSY line
and enhance signal quality.

ADSL was expensive connection:

In the mid 1990s, ADSL was very expensive not widely available.
Companies and individuals wanted a faster way to connect
to the Internet, but the technology behind dial-up modems
had reached its threshold(finished). ISDN became a viable

alternative to provide speeds of up to 128 kbps, versus the

standard connection of 30-53 kbps with a dial-up modem.
DSL was Inexpensive connection:
While ISDN is inexpensive and about twice as fast as dial-up
service, it has been largely replaced by affordable DSL
service. An inexpensive ADSL service offers speeds up to
384 kbps or more, while more expensive versions are
improving in speed all the time. As of fall 2005, standard

DSL

speeds range between 1.5 and 3.0 mbps (megabits per

second), or 1536-3072 kbps.

Although ISDN may not be the best choice for packetswitching networks like the Internet, it is still widely

used for professional audio and broadcast applications

where digital clarity with integrated telephone services is
specifically required.

Small businesses that often use

two voice lines, such as phone and fax, and only
require limited Internet connectivity of, say, an hour or
less per day, may prefer ISDN. ISDN might also be a
better choice for high-speed connections to intranets
for video-conferencing, or to remote networks other
than the Internet.

What Is Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)?

Definition:
Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a switching technology that

facilitates the movement of large & small data from one point to another
in any geographic location on earth. It is one of the preferred
technologies because of its efficiency of use, especially with different
hardware components. Unlike other types of technology, the speed and
efficiency used in asynchronous transfer mode makes it one of the
most common network protocol standards in use today.

The main advantage of asynchronous transfer mode technology is the ability

to transfer many different types of data at the same time. This is because all
bandwidth is utilized, as long as it is available. Other types of technologies
will often not allow all the bandwidth to be used once a particular function is
started. Therefore, it makes for a very efficient way to transfer video files,
pictures, e-mail and even live streaming audio and video.
Encoding data in asynchronous transfer mode is remarkably consistent, with

each cell being 64 bytes in length. This helps during the processing of the
data because there is no need to worry about where each cell starts and
ends, unlike what is required with TCP/IP. Therefore, dealing with more
known factors means there is a greater ability to contribute resources to to
encoding and decoding, thus speeding up the data transmission.
