Techopedia Explains T1 Line
Developed by AT&T Bell Laboratories in the late 1960s, traditional T1 lines use copper wire, but most new installations use optical fiber. T1 lines use pulse-code modulation, which allows coder and decoder sharing by multiple voice trunks. Channels are preconfigured to carry voice traffic or Internet data.
