There are two types of ISDN service: Basic Rate Interface (BRI), perfect for small- scale businesses; and Primary Rate Interface (PRI), ideal for larger businesses.
Both BRI and PRI use channels called "B", or Bearer channels, and a "D", or Delta channel. The B channels provide a transmission path for user information, such as voice and data, while the D Channel carries signaling information, such as call setup and packet data.
ISDN PRI
ISDN PRI service is used primarily by large organizations with intensive communications needs. An ISDN PRI connection supports 23 individual 64 kbps B-channels and one 64 kbps D-channel over a high-speed circuit. ISDN PRI is ideal for offices using a PBX solution, phone system or customer premise equipment, large call centers, room-sized video conferencing or backing up dedicated private lines.
The advantage of primary rate interface or PRI is that the 23 channels can be used in various combinations for specific communications needs.
ISDN BRI
ISDN BRI is a high-quality, switched digital communications service that gives your standard phone line the ability to transmit voice, data, and packet data simultaneously at a relatively low-cost. Supports two individual 64 kbps B-channels, plus one 16 kbps D-channel.
