What is T1, and what is the max it can transmit?
A T1 can transmit 24 telephone calls at a time because it uses a digital carrier signal (DS-1).
DS-1 is a communications protocol for multiplexing the bit streams of up to 24 telephone calls simultaneously.
The T1’s maximum data transmission rate is 1.544 mbps.
