ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
ISDN is a type of digital network that allows the transfer of data, voice, and video over a single line. ISDN is also known as a virtual circuit because it provides services such as teleconferencing or video conferencing without requiring special hardware or software at each endpoint.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
ISDN technology has enabled businesses to connect their employees from anywhere in the world through telephone lines that provide high-quality connections between two (or more) computers. The main benefit of using this type of service is that it allows for remote collaboration between teams across the globe, which can help reduce travel costs and improve productivity. While ISDN is still widely used, it is slowly being replaced by newer technologies such as VoIP (voice over internet protocol), which offer similar benefits but only require an internet connection.
