PRI service

Manage PRI service more easily with Spectrum Enterprise.

Primary rate interface service, or PRI service, is a telecommunications interface standard used on an ISDN line for carrying multiple voice transmissions between users and the telephone network. Based on a T1 carrier transmission, PRI service is the standard for enterprise phone services. But with the rise of VoIP telephony and SIP trunking systems that deliver telecommunications over the Internet, a PRI trunk is viewed as an “old” technology that will likely be phased out in the coming years.

This presents a dilemma for many enterprises. While they are drawn to the potential cost savings, flexibility and Unified Communications features of VoIP, most organizations have invested a lot in their PRI phone system. And PRI service is thought to offer superior call quality and security, as voice traffic is transmitted over a dedicated line and not over the Internet.

Spectrum Enterprise helps to resolve this tension by providing an easy-to-scale interface for PRI service that can be managed with existing PRI-compatible phone systems. By enabling organizations to leverage their investment in PRI phone technology, Spectrum Enterprise makes it easier to deploy and manage a hybrid phone solution as technology increasingly moves toward Internet-based telecommunications.
