What is ISDN?
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) allows digital transmission over ordinary telephone copper wire as well as over other media including fiber optics. Home and business users who shift to ISDN technology instead of using an analogue modem will have faster connectivity.
ISDN is completely digital, which makes the connection fast. ISDN also suffers far less transmission errors, as the lines are less noisy than analogue telephone lines. The result is that an ISDN dial-up connection compared to a modem dial-up connection is faster and more reliable.
 
Key Features
  • Double your telephone line's capabilities; receive faxes or place telephone calls while checking your email, talk on the phone while surfing the Internet, increase your transfer speed. Mix and match these options to suit your changing needs.

  • Download large amounts of text, graphics, and multi-media quickly; save yourself time and money.
