The key feature of ISDN is that it integrates speech and data on the same lines, adding features that were not available in the <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_old_telephone_service" title="Plain old telephone service">classic telephone system</a>.

A major market application for ISDN in some countries is <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_access" title="Internet access">Internet access</a>, where ISDN typically provides a maximum of 128 kbit/s in both upstream and downstream directions. <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_bonding" title="Channel bonding">Channel bonding</a> can achieve a greater data rate; typically the ISDN B-channels of three or four BRIs (six to eight 64 kbit/s channels) are bonded.</p> <p>ISDN should not be mistaken for its use with a specific protocol, such as <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q.931" title="Q.931">Q.931</a> whereas ISDN is employed as the network, data-link and physical layers in the context of the <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model" title="OSI model">OSI model</a>. In a broad sense ISDN can be considered a suite of digital services existing on layers 1, 2, and 3 of the OSI model. ISDN is designed to provide access to voice and data services simultaneously.</p> <p>However, common use reduced ISDN to be limited to Q.931 and related protocols, which are a set of <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_(computing)" title="Protocol (computing)" class="mw-redirect">protocols</a> for <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_(telecommunications)" title="Signalling (telecommunications)" class="mw-redirect">establishing and breaking circuit switched connections</a>, and for advanced <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_feature" title="Calling feature" class="mw-redirect">calling features</a> for the user.

A <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_network" title="Telephone network">telephone network</a> can be thought of as a collection of wires strung between switching systems. The common electrical specification for the signals on these wires is <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signal_1" title="Digital Signal 1">T1</a> or <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-carrier" title="E-carrier">E1</a>. Between telephone company switches, the signaling is performed via <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signaling_System_No_7" title="Signaling System No 7" class="mw-redirect">SS7</a>. Normally, a PBX is connected via a T1 with <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbed_bit_signaling" title="Robbed bit signaling" class="mw-redirect">robbed bit signaling</a> to indicate on-hook or off-hook conditions and <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-frequency" title="Multi-frequency" class="mw-redirect">MF</a> and <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-tone_multi-frequency" title="Dual-tone multi-frequency" class="mw-redirect">DTMF</a> tones to encode the destination number. ISDN is much better because messages can be sent much more quickly than by trying to <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoder" title="Encoder">encode</a> numbers as long (100 <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond" title="Millisecond">ms</a> per digit) tone sequences. This results in faster call setup times. Also, a greater number of features are available and fraud is reduced.</p> <p>ISDN is also used as a smart-network technology intended to add new services to the <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_switched_telephone_network" title="Public switched telephone network">public switched telephone network</a> (PSTN) by giving users direct access to end-to-end circuit-switched digital services and as a backup or failsafe circuit solution for critical use data circuits.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="ISDN_and_broadcast_industry">ISDN and broadcast industry</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Integrated_Services_Digital_Network&amp;action=edit&amp;section=9" title="Edit section: ISDN and broadcast industry">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>ISDN is used heavily by the broadcast industry as a reliable way of switching low-latency, high-quality, long-distance audio circuits. In conjunction with an appropriate <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec" title="Codec">codec</a> using MPEG or various manufacturers proprietary algorithms, an ISDN BRI can be used to send stereo bi-directional audio coded at 128 kbit/s with 20&#160;Hz&#160;– 20&#160;kHz audio bandwidth, although commonly the <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.722" title="G.722">G.722</a> algorithm is used with a single 64 kbit/s B channel to send much lower latency mono audio at the expense of audio quality. Where very high quality audio is required multiple ISDN BRIs can be used in parallel to provide a higher bandwidth circuit switched connection. <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radio_3" title="BBC Radio 3">BBC Radio 3</a> commonly makes use of three ISDN BRIs to carry 320 kbit/s audio stream for live outside broadcasts.

Basic Rate Interface (BRI), also called basic rate access (BRA)&#160;— consists of two B channels, each with bandwidth of 64 <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kbit/s" title="Kbit/s" class="mw-redirect">kbit/s</a>, and one D channel with a bandwidth of 16 kbit/s.

Primary Rate Interface (PRI), also called primary rate access (PRA) in Europe&#160;— contains a greater number of B channels and a D channel with a bandwidth of 64 kbit/s. The number of B channels for PRI varies according to the nation: in North America and Japan it is 23B+1D, with an aggregate bit rate of 1.544 <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbit/s" title="Mbit/s" class="mw-redirect">Mbit/s</a> (<a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signal_1" title="Digital Signal 1">T1</a>); in Europe, India and Australia it is 30B+1D, with an aggregate bit rate of 2.048 Mbit/s (<a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-carrier" title="E-carrier">E1</a>). <b><a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_Integrated_Services_Digital_Network" title="Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network">Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network</a></b> (BISDN) is another ISDN implementation and it is able to manage different types of services at the same time.

This precludes use of the line for voice calls while the internet connection is in use. The B channels of several BRIs can be bonded, a typical use is a 384K videoconferencing channel.</p> <p>Using <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B8ZS" title="B8ZS" class="mw-redirect">bipolar with eight-zero substitution</a> encoding technique, call data is transmitted over the data (B) channels, with the signaling (D) channels used for call setup and management. Once a call is set up, there is a simple 64 kbit/s synchronous bidirectional data channel (actually implemented as two simplex channels, one in each direction) between the end parties, lasting until the call is terminated.

This information can be passed between the network and the user end-point at call set-up time. In North America, ISDN is now used mostly as an alternative to analog connections, most commonly for Internet access. Some of the services envisioned as being delivered over ISDN are now delivered over the Internet instead. In Europe, and in Germany in particular, ISDN has been successfully marketed as a phone with features, as opposed to a POTS phone with few or no features. Meanwhile, features that were first available with ISDN (such as <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Way_Calling" title="Three-Way Calling" class="mw-redirect">Three-Way Calling</a>, <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_Forwarding" title="Call Forwarding" class="mw-redirect">Call Forwarding</a>, <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caller_ID" title="Caller ID">Caller ID</a>, etc.) are now commonly available for ordinary analog phones as well, eliminating this advantage of ISDN. Another advantage of ISDN was the possibility of multiple simultaneous calls (one call per B channel), e.g. for big families, but with the increased popularity and reduced prices of mobile telephony this has become less interesting as well, making ISDN unappealing to the private customer. However, ISDN is typically more reliable than POTS, and has a significantly faster call setup time compared with POTS, and IP connections over ISDN typically have some 30–35ms round trip time, as opposed to 120–180ms (both measured with otherwise unused lines) over 56k or V.34/V.92 modems, making ISDN more reliable and more efficient for telecommuters.</p> <p>Where an analog connection requires a <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem" title="Modem">modem</a>, an ISDN connection requires a <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_adapter" title="Terminal adapter">terminal adapter</a> (TA).

Since ISDN provides a high quality connection this assists in delivering good quality audio for transmission in radio. Most radio studios are equipped with ISDN lines as their main form of communication with other studios or standard phone lines. Equipment made by companies such as Telos/Omnia (the popular Zephyr codec), Comrex, Tieline and others are used regularly by radio broadcasters. Almost all live sports broadcasts on radio are backhauled to their main studios via ISDN connections.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Sample_call">Sample call</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Integrated_Services_Digital_Network&amp;action=edit&amp;section=22" title="Edit section: Sample call">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>The following is an example of a Primary Rate (PRI) ISDN call showing the <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q.921" title="Q.921" class="mw-redirect">Q.921</a>/<a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_Access_Procedures,_D_channel" title="Link Access Procedures, D channel">LAPD</a> and the <a href="/web/20150612230021/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q.931" title="Q.931">Q.931</a>/Network message intermixed (i.e. exactly what was exchanged on the D-channel).
