PBX-to-central office connections: In situations where a company's primary needs are voice communications, replacing standard, single-purpose trunks with PRI can result in significant cost savings.
Call Centers: Faster call set-up and Calling Line ID allow faster response and better customer service by your Call Center. It handles more calls, more quickly and efficiently; serves your customers better; and because of increased productivity, may also cost less to staff and operate. In addition, you may be able to reduce trunking costs.
Videoconferencing: Videoconferencing can work comfortably with your other data or voice applications, utilizing more or less bandwidth according to the quality needs for an individual videoconference.
Remote access: Workers in remote or home offices, or on the road, can access your corporate network with analog modems, or faster connections using Basic ISDN (BRI) connections.
Internet access: PRI provides high-speed Internet access, integrated with other data and voice communications. With PRI at the host end, Internet Service Providers can offer a better level of service affordably and efficiently.
Engineering, product design, CAD/CAM: Any application which requires transmitting large amounts of data at irregular intervals can take advantage of the flexibility of PRI, utilizing additional bandwidth only when actually needed.
Private line back-up: In a business with critical data requirements, PRI can provide dial back-up links, if private lines go down.
