Comparison of telecom line types

Comparison of common telecommunication line types.

Line Type	Transmission Medium / Protocol	Concurrency Capacity	Suitable Scenarios	Disadvantages
Analog Line	Physical copper line, traditional landline	1 line = 1 concurrent call	Small and micro-sized businesses	Complex wiring; expansion requires new cabling; difficult to manage
Digital Trunk Line (PRI/T1)	Coaxial cable	1 cable = 23 concurrent calls	Medium and large call centers	Requires dedicated hardware gateway; carriers are gradually discontinuing new activations
VoIP Line (e.g. Telny / Flowroute )	Public IP network	Depends on bandwidth	Internet telephony	Runs over the public Internet; stability is greatly affected by network conditions
