SWITCHED 56: WHAT IS IT?

****************************
*** Switched 56 represents a fast, yet cost-efficient method
of transferring data. The service taps the public network,
taking advantage of the recent investments telephone
companies have made in digital and fiber-optic
communications.
*** The "56" of Switched 56 stands for the fast data rate of
56 kilobits per second. "Switched" refers to your ability
to dial and receive switched data calls just as you would
with a voice telephone line. Switched 56 combines high
speed with the widespread availability and low usage cost of
voice. Once Switched 56 is installed, you simply dial
another user's Switched 56 number to transmit full duplex 56
Kbps digital data.
*** Switched 56 is a fast, inexpensive way to transport data
digitally. Cost effectiveness. High speed. Widespread
availability. Flexibility. Extensive Applications. For
all these reasons, data communications managers, PC power
users, LAN managers, broadcasters and videoconference users
are making Switched 56 the most popular of the Switched
Digital Services.
*** Integrated Network Corporation (INC) manufactures
Channel Service Unit/Data Service Units (CSU/DSUs). What a
modem is to analog data communications, the CSU/DSU is to
digital communications. The company created many of the
standards that define Switched 56 including call progress
monitoring, echo canceller disabler and extended loop range.
INC holds two dozen national and international patents on
Switched 56 technology. The company makes much of the
central office equipment that makes Switched Digital
Services possible. INC has written translation guides for
all the telephone company digital switches.
THE GUIDE TO THE GUIDE
****************************
*** This Guide, prepared by the people at Integrated Network
Corporation (INC), is the most up-to-date, most
comprehensive listing of Switched 56 Digital Services. We
give you an exhaustive listing of installation costs,
monthly charges and usage fees.. We also give you the names,
telephone numbers and fax numbers of the telephone company
product managers to contact.
*** SERVICE
The name each telephone company gives to their Switched 56
service. Each company uses a different name, and it helps
to use their name when making service inquiries.
*** TECHNOLOGY
Defines the specific circuits provided, and specifies 2-wire
or 4-wire connection.
*** PRODUCT MANAGER
Your first contact at the telephone company should be your
sales representative. However, if you need answers to
specific, highly technical questions about installation and
availability, you can contact the Product Manager. This is
the telephone company's person in charge of the service.
*** AVAILABILITY
Specifies the geographic areas where Switched 56 is
provided. Service is being brought to more and more new
areas Check with your phone company's representative for
the most up-to-date information.
THE GUIDE TO THE GUIDE continued
****************************
*** RATES
Like a voice telephone line, Switched 56 typically involves
a one-time installation cost, a monthly fee, and usage fees
from Local Exchange and Inter-Exchange carriers.
* For local or intra-LATA calls, you will be charged a usage
fee by your Local Exchange Company. A LATA typically covers
a much wider geographical area than the city for which it is
named. The Local Exchange rates in this guide apply to
local calls ONLY.
* For long distance switched calls, you will be charged two
fees. Typically both charges are included in the monthly
bill from your local telephone company. Your Local
Exchange Company will charge you for access to the Long
Distance Company. This typically runs about $ 0.05 per
minute. The Long Distance Company in turn will charge you
for transport between long distance switching centers.
These rates are quoted in the Long Distance Company pages
and DO NOT include the cost of local access.
* Access to Long Distance Companies is provided through
either dedicated digital or switched digital services
provided by the Local Company. Most users will find
switched digital service provided by their Local Exchange
Company to be the most cost effective access method.
* Very high volume users may find that it makes sense to
bypass the Local Exchange Company by using dedicated, rather
than switched access facilities.
* The cross-over point between switched and dedicated line
can be calculated as follows. Find out the monthly cost of a
dedicated line. Remember that $0.05 of every long distance
call using switched access goes to the Local Exchange
Company. Divide the dedicated line cost by $0.05 to get the
break-even point in minutes. For example, if dedicated
access costs $500 per month, then the break-even point comes
at 10,000 minutes per month (almost 167 hours).
THE GUIDE TO THE GUIDE continued
****************************
* The information in this guide is based upon tariff filings
by the Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) and the Long Distance
Carriers also referred to as Inter-Exchange Carriers (IXCs).
Tariff filings are often amended. Rates for some areas are
averages and may vary from state to state.
* We recommend you contact your Local Exchange and/or Inter-
Exchange Carriers to discuss current rates for Switched 56
Kbps data calls that apply to your specific situation.
Also, review any discount or special program for which you
may be eligible.
