What Determines The DS3 Pricing

By Gwen Lowe


DS3 is a fiber circuit with very high bandwidths, which move at 45 megabytes per second. This signal can transfer both DS1 level signals and 672 DS0 level channels within its payload. Businesses use digital signals to successfully run their marketing campaigns on voice aggregation, videoconferencing, expansion of backbone network and electric data interchanging. When you decide to choose a service provider for these services, you need to know some factors that increase or lower the DS3 pricing.

The cost at which the carrier operates is one of the main factors that determine the cost of digital signal 3 service. Some carriers operate at higher costs than others depending on the carrier backbone and the fiber circuit. Before choosing a service provider, you need to know the operating cost of their carriers.

How far your premise is from the network fiber paths of the service company would also affect the price of such services. The installation services tend to be more costly if the distance between the premises and the network fiber paths is more. The main factor that facilitates this is due the increased number of interconnection cables that would need to be installed.

The type and quality of cables used also have a significant impact on the price of such services. Different interconnection cables would have different specifications especially in the insulation ability, conduction capacity and the distance limitation. This means a variation in the performance and quality of different wires, which also affects their cost.

After installing these systems, you would need to maintain and monitor their performance. Normally, if you have not familiarized with them you may not find it easy to keep track of your facility. Therefore, most people who install these systems need the service of a professional to maintain and monitor the performance of their systems meaning your price for the services would also increase.

Depending on the mechanism used to transmit these signals, you may have to pay more or less. For instance, if the mechanism used to transmit these signals is the satellite technology, customers would have to pay more for the operation cost but no installation cost. If the transmission technology is through cables, you would pay more for the installation but less for the operation costs.

Your landline phone number and the address line can also have some significant effect on the cost of these services. If your address line is new to the system, you may have to pay more. As well, there are various phone numbers that are charged more than others hence the cost would also depend on the type of landline phone number you have.

If you decide to use these services, it is advisable to hire a trustworthy service provider. This is in the effect that not all companies can offer quality services. To know whether your potential service provider is reliable, you would need to read their customer reviews to know what their previous customers say about them. You would also need to determine whether the charges for their services are in line with the ones offered by other companies.
