Integrated Trunking
Integrated Trunking is ideal for future-focused businesses that have acquired IP-equipped PBX and key systems. Unlike traditional channelized trunking, Integrated Trunking allows for dynamic bandwidth allocation between Internet access, Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity and voice with a reduced number of trunks required. Features include:

1. A Primary Rate Interface (PRI) type of service that will allow multiple voice sessions on a broadband pipe, using an IP-enabled PBX or key system
2. Expanded local calling
3. Integrated Trunking scalability, which combines voice and data on one pipe with room for growth
4. NTELOS Integrated Trunking, which provides connectivity to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) over a pipe shared between voice and data services, allowing customers to make better use of T-1 or Metro Ethernet transport costs
5. Integrated Trunking over T-1, which includes Quality of Service (QoS) for voice traffic on NTELOS facilities
