Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an E1 anyway?
A: An E1 is 2mbps (megabits per second) of data throughput. It is the standard in China and other countries. . Because of their reliability, E1 lines have been used for years to transport voice traffic and are divided into 30 channels, each capable of carrying one simultaneous voice conversation. E1 technology is extremely mature and reliable and can be used to deliver dedicated Internet, dedicated voice or a combination of voice and Internet. Because E1s use a line repeater technology, which amplifies the signal over long distances, E1s can be delivered at nearly any distance.

Q: Why is a E1 used for data communications?
A: Speed and reliability are the primary reasons for data over E1. If a company transmits large files regularly outside their office a E1 can be a great asset as well as if they receive large amounts of data. With the popularity of the Internet and the requirement to send data at higher speeds, E1 technology offers upstream speeds that are much higher than DSL and with greater reliability.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: If I get a E1 for Internet Access, am I guaranteed the full 2.00 Mbps speed?
A: Yes, if you order point-to-point E1 service. E1 lines are dedicated from the customer premise to the CNLink Networks Data Center. CNLink Networks maintains enough upstream capacity from its Data Center to the Internet so that E1 customers can burst up to the full E1 speed of 2.00 Megabits per second minus overhead.

Q: How long does it take to get a dedicated connection from CNLink Networks installed at my location?
A: Dedicated local loops usually takes between 30 and 45 days to install once the service order is signed. It is extremely difficult to get a E1 installed in less time than the standard 30 to 45 day interval in China.
