Voice over IP is a digital phone service that allow users to make calls across the public switched telephone network (PSTN) via the Internet. By using a high speed Internet connection and a VoIP phone or analog telephone adapter (ATA), a user receives the same type of phone service as plain old telephone service (POTS) plus many additional features. For example, find me / follow me allow a user to enter all of the phone numbers the user wants to ring when the user's VoIP phone number is called. If you are at home, at the office, or on your mobile phone, all of your phones can be rung in succession or at the same time using VoIP!







ADT Home Security Systems:
With an ADT Monitored Home Security System, your home will be monitored at all times with window and door sensors that notify you if a door or window is opened. If a window or door is unexpectedly opened, a notification will be sent immediately to ADT security and to you and local authorities may be quickly dispatched to your home.





Telecom Brokerage and Consultant Services:
Multi-Site National and Global Network Solutions: As your organization grows, so does the importance of telecommunications integration and coordination. For example, we can design a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network that can connect all of your locations to enable sensitive data to flow back and forth at a high speed without the risk of interception. Call us at (888) 255-5859.




MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching):
MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).




Internet over Ethernet:
Ethernet access to the Internet is quickly becomming a popular service. Ethernet, which is usually thought of as the protocol used to connect computers and servers on a local area network (LAN), is now increasingly being used across metropolitan wide area networks (WANS) to connect corporate LANs to the Internet. The advantage of Ethernet Internet Access service is that connection speeds that range from 1 Megabit per Second (Mbps) to 1 Gigabit per Second (Gbps) can be accessed via the same protocol being used on corporate LANs.

The wide-spread use of Ethernet has reduced the cost of Ethernet switches and also the space required to deploy Ethernet networks either via twisted pair copper or fiber and virtually all computer manufacturers include an Ethernet card as a standard component on Personal Computer (PC) motherboards which eliminates having to install an Ethernet card as a peripheral device.




Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL):
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet. The downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps. The main limitation on bandwidth speeds available is the distance from the customer premise to the local telephone company central office.




Wireless Internet Service:
High-speed satellite and microwave Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless IInternet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.




Telecommunications Information:
Telecom Links mission is to be the most comprehensive source of telecommunications information on the World Wide Web. Dedicated to providing high-quality, up-to-date information in a simple, easy-to-use format so you can quickly find telecommunications information on the World Wide Web, Telecom Links, through its partnership with the Telecom Broker Network, always keeps you just a mouse click away from the best deals and prices available on the services you are interested in from leading telecommunication carriers and providers in the United States and around the world.

 How Does DIRECTV Satellite TV Work?

Written by: Rick Taylor - Dec 1, 2008


DIRECTV satellites are placed into a geosynchronous orbit approximately 37,000 km (22,300 miles) above the earth's surface. These satellites always remain above the exact same point on the earth's surface so that all DIRECTV subscriber dishes on the earth's surface at subscribers' homes, offices, restaurants, clubs, etc. are pointed to the same fixed DIRECTV satellite location.

DIRECTV shows, movies, music, pay-per-view, events, etc. are broadcast from an "uplink center" on the earth's surface where programming from cable television networks, local TV stations,and other entertainment broadcast networks is collected and encrypted so that the programming cannot be viewed by non-DIRECTV satellite dish owners. The DIRECTV satellite uplink facility uses large satellite dishes that are 9 to 12 meters wide to transmit a high-strength signal to the orbiting DIRECTV satellite.

Upon receiving the signal containing entertainment programs from the "uplink center," the DIRECTV satellite converts the microsave signal to a different microwave frequency band to ensure that the downlink to the DIRECTV subscribers dishes are not affected by uplink interference.

After traveling more than 50,000 miles, the DIRECTV signal will reach a DIRECTV subscriber's dish located on the outside of the subscriber's home, office, or facility. The signal received from the DIRECTV satellite is focussed by a bowl-shaped parabolic dish onto a device in the center of the dish called a "feed horn." The "feed horn" channels the DIRECTV satellite microwave signal to a "low-noise block downconverter" (LNB). The LNB again filters out unwanted interference, and sometimes converts it to another frequency at the subscriber's location before amplifying the signal and sending it via coaxial cable to the satellite receiver box located inside the DIRECTV subscriber's house, office, or facility.

A DIRECTV satellite receiver box converts the signal to television, audio, High Definition (HD) and/or data signals and may be may be equipped to decrypt the coded signal itself. Subscribers may be supplied with a "smart card" as well to decode the signal.

DIRECTV receivers also include integrated digital video recorders (DVRs) that allow subscribers to rewind and pause live television and to record and store shows on a built-in hard drive. In addition, DIRECTV receivers offer high-definition television (HDTV), pay-per-view events and movies, interactive television channels, and video-on-demand (VOD) channels.
