What is DS1?

DS1 (Digital Signal 1) is a digital communications protocol used in telecommunications. It is a T-carrier level 1 (T1) line, which is a full-duplex communications line carrying data at a rate of 1.544 Mbps. DS1 lines are commonly used to provide voice and data services to businesses and organizations, and also as trunks between telephone exchanges. They were historically a primary means of providing digital connectivity before the widespread adoption of technologies like Ethernet and fiber optics.
