Lightship Telecom Introduces ATM-based Dynamic Bandwidth T1 Service

Lightship Telecom, an integrated communications provider serving New England, introduced a T1 "dynamic bandwidth allocation" service that provides business customers with increased data bandwidth when voice calls are not being made. The ATM-based access service enables voice circuits to receive first priority, but circuits switch automatically between voice and Internet service. Dynamically allocated bandwidth can burst to up to 1.024 Mbps or 1.536 Mbps of data. Lightship's network includes four Class 5 Nortel telephone switches and four Lucent CBX-500 ATM/Frame Relay data switches.
