Today, the Internet, ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network T1/T3 provides telecommunications, but they are not suitable for future telecommunication. Let's focus on Internet-2, ADSL, and wireless communications including direct satellites.
In an all-digital workflow process in which people continue to work hard to create print publishing that is not geographically constrained, the ability to quickly and automatically transfer digital files from one place to another has become an overriding priority. Just a few years ago, rapid delivery meant the use of express delivery or the use of evening delivery services. Today, although manual postal services are still used as a regular method in the prepress and printing industries, the share of express mail has dropped significantly. Nearly two-thirds of prepress and print jobs are now electronically transmitted via Modem (modem), ISDN, and T1/T3.
E-mails are widely used by Modem to transmit relatively small text or image files in order to facilitate some corrections and supplements as well as tracking jobs. Although Modem's download rate reaches 56Kbps and the upper communication rate reaches 33.6 Kbps, this transmission rate is rarely reached during working hours. Because of the heavy traffic on the Internet during this time. In any case, E-mail is replacing a fax for the electronic transmission of a small number of text and image files.
For the transmission of larger pages and image files, ISDN has become the most powerful digital network in the publishing industry. Because ISDN has a lower monthly fixed fee, the bandwidth is more selective, ranging from 128Kbps to 1.54Mbps. The bandwidth of the leased T1 communication line can even be reached. The ISDN charging method is that in addition to the monthly very cheap fixed fee, the ISDN user pays far according to the distance per minute and the transmission distance.
In the United States, ISDN started slowly because telephone companies or telecommunications companies were initially unwilling to provide ISDN services. Many parts of the United States now have ISDN capabilities. However, telecommunication companies still do not dare to compliment the services and services provided by ISDN, and their reliability is not satisfactory. The comforting aspect is that ISDN is based on international standards, while ISDN is widely used in Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. In Singapore, ISDN is just as convenient as ordinary telephone service.
Companies that regularly transmit large amounts of data may lease dedicated T1/T3 communications lines. Its monthly fixed cost is relatively high. The installation and operation of T1/T3 communication lines may include satellite communication connection technologies and therefore require strong professional skills.
Professional application system
Because the establishment and operation of ISDN and T1/T3 lines is not an easy task, many businesses have turned to professional systems and used their telecommunication networks for help. In the prepress and printing industries, some suppliers are taking advantage of this market opportunity by seizing the shortcomings of telecom companies responding slowly to the special needs of the printing industry. New companies that sell telecommunications hardware and software products such as DAX, Group Software (formerly Luminous) and Wam! Net (now 4-Sight), has captured most of the market share. The main players in this field are Angels and UPS, which are supplying digital transmission networks designed specifically for the printing industry.
One of the pioneers in providing professional systems for ISDN is 4-Sight. The company initially marketed hardware and software products in the UK, and subsequently successfully entered the emerging US market with its ISDN hardware and software companion products. Another company offering ISDN connectivity products is HermStedt. The company has entered the global market and recently entered the US market after occupying most of the German market.
The Boston-based DAX (Digital Art Exchange) operates around ISDN and has extended its technology to frame breaks, dedicated lines, custom networks, and the Internet.
Wam! Net company is a company established specifically to provide digital transmission networks for the printing industry. In the spring of 1998, the company acquired 4-Sight for $40 million. Users of the 4-Sight ISDN interface can now connect directly to the powerful Wam! Net digital network. Wam! Net digital network's charging method is composed of two parts: There is a part of the megabyte data communication charge is fixed and invariable; more than this part of the megabyte data volume is charged at a similar price. The addition of the two is the user's one-month data communication should be paid.
The Virtual Network provided by Imation Publisher Software can be used as a stand-alone system or tied to Remote Proofing. Group Logic has developed core software for Virtual Network. The company sold the expanded version of the Mass Transitrio software to OEMs and users.
Sailing Angels is developing a managed telematics service network called DGN (digital image network). It provides users with high-speed file transfer services.
UPS is the world's largest company engaged in communications services. The UPS document Exchange developed by the company is intended to be used on the Internet. At present, UPS is doing basic work. Users can use the UPS online Courier to transfer files over the Internet. It has security options, tracking and receiving capabilities, or the user selects Online Dossier, a two-way encryption service that enables senders and receivers to have legitimate digital identities.
Sprint has announced that it uses a standard telephone line to provide commercial and home users with a virtual, unlimited bandwidth on demand. Sprint is calling this service the Integrated On-Demand Network (ION). Sprint's ION will integrate the networks now used by users and greatly simplify network management. In 1998, the first ION network was put into use and it is expected that ION will become popular in 1999.
Northern Telecom is developing a technology called Digital PowerLine. This technology enables data to be transferred to the backbone network at 1 Mbps. The test system has been tested in the United Kingdom. The company said that Digital PowerLine will support high-speed Internet access, telephone systems and local area networks.
The factors that should be considered when establishing a network system
In general, experts agree that there are several factors that influence how to choose a telecommunications network and system. The disagreement among experts lies in what factors influence decision-making? And how these factors are balanced and coordinated.
Point One: A network should meet three conditions: easy to use, affordable, and universal. The establishment of ISDN is not an easy task, but ISDN is easier to use and more reliable. At the same time, ISDN is based on a global standard that can be used worldwide and affordable. Of course, ISDN is not the only communication option, but it is the best and economically affordable solution in several network systems. ISDN is an entry-level system. If you need more features, you can choose a private network. Such as T1 or Wam! Net's any bandwidth network service.
If there is an infinite amount of data to be transmitted, the basic transmission rate ISDN is a great choice, but it must be networked. For relatively small or medium-sized image files (between several megabytes to tens of megabytes), ISDN is quickly transmitted within minutes. Each transfer fee is only a few dollars, so it is very affordable in this case.
With a certain kind of high speed connection to the Internet, even the system may be the general trend of transferring files. From a long-term perspective, a high-speed Internet connection is the cheapest way to transfer large files. If you want to transmit data to several companies in different locations on a long-term basis, you should seriously consider high-speed networks. If you have a private network of at least 128 Kbps and a transmission rate of T1, the time to transfer large files is faster. Private networks are an important pawn for printing service companies, so printing service companies can send and receive documents in one place.
Having a high-speed T1 or a T1 rating and a backbone network connected to the Internet, relatively high work efficiency and reliability can be obtained, and even hundreds of megabytes of data can be transmitted. At the same time, when you think about ROI, don't forget that the Internet can provide other important values ​​for your business.
Point two: bandwidth, networking, and management. Not every company needs as wide a bandwidth network as possible. In the fields of prepress, printing and Web, speed, networking performance, and manageability are the factors that influence the size and type of network bandwidth.
Network bandwidth determines speed. High bandwidth usually means faster file transfer. To a certain extent, users' computer equipment and non-fixed factors also affect the speed of the network. Networking capabilities, ie the ability to connect multiple points, can be achieved using dedicated point-to-point leased lines (T1 and T3), switching services (ISD) or routing services (Wam!Net, Internet, ATM, frame relay and satellite) .
When two users need to transfer large amounts of data frequently, the leased communication line is usually more affordable; when the user transmits data from time to time, not quantitatively between two points, the exchange service is usually selected as the most affordable; when the occasional transmission When it comes to data, such as Wam! Net routing services are the most cost-effective.
Management is the ability to operate a communications system. Router software has a technological innovation every two years. The computing platform will be updated once in the next 5 years. Companies with communications networks generally make major improvements every two years. Direct management costs more than indirect management. This is similar to Wam! Net is the charm of this managed communication service.
Point Three: Printing and Prepress Work Choosing the best telematics system should primarily consider three things: capacity, frequency, and time. The biggest failure of AT&T's Frame Relay network is the lack of a backup system. Interestingly, ISDN is an outstanding technology to provide backup systems, and load balancing is an added benefit of Frame Relay networks. This is because T1, Frame Relay, and ISDN are combined. For cost reasons, Frame Relay does not work for peak transmissions. ISDN improves this shortcoming of Frame Relay by increasing the bandwidth on demand, and it costs only a fraction of Frame Relay.
Having as much bandwidth as possible doesn't guarantee that you will be running fast on the Internet. T1 is only useless if an all-T1 communication line is not connected to a strong Internet service provider; if the other endpoint's receiver does not have access to a strong Internet connection or you are transmitting huge amounts of traffic during the peak of the Internet. The file information, then the effectiveness of T1 can not be played. That is why we are the full supporters of ISDN's direct networking strategy. Because ISDN does not care when you send and receive files, you can always take up the bandwidth resources you should have.
Telecom applications in brewing
In the past, Sportime, a catalog publishing company based in Atlanta, used mail to send 40 pages to 80 pages of information to its service provider SD. Since Sportime installed a DAX BRI ISDN system, supplemented by 4-Sight iSDN Manager (software), using the ISDN provided by Bell South, the cost has dropped from $40 per unit in the past to $90 per month.
Japs-Olson, a commercial printing company and direct mail printing service in Minnesota, shipped out 1 million direct mail prints daily from warehouses. After DAX analyzed the company's workflow and telecommunication needs, the company was recommended to install BRI and PRI ISDN lines. In this way, the customer directly transfers the file to the customer service workstation where the operation ticket is generated and the work time of the job is reduced by half.
The U.S. Wace Company claims to be the "image network." The company uses exchange T1 and PRI ISDN to connect Chicago headquarters and 50 branches in the United States, Europe and Asia. Every day, ISDN has 1 GB of data transmission and works seven days a week. Use Group Logic's MassTransit software to manage data transmission for remote proofing. Printing customers include Nike
