Desktop conferencing

ISDN allows computer users in distant locations to share and
edit any image, data or text file on their own computer screens
while they discuss the information.

File transfer

The ISDN network allows you to transfer files containing data,
text, images, data, or audio clips, faster and cheaper than with
a conventional modem.

Telecommuting

Convenient retrieval, processing and storage of files is
possible for the employee working at home by using ISDN
lines to give high-speed access to information resources at the
office.

Group 4 fax

ISDN fax applications save money by increasing both
transmission speed and the quality of resolution.

Remote LAN access

ISDN provides an affordable and fast means for employees at
remote sites (at home or branch offices) to access local area
networks (LANs).

Leased line backup

Essential backup for leased lines can be provided using ISDN
as required, rather than duplicating costly permanent leased
lines.

LAN to LAN bridging

Local area network (LAN) bridge/routers allow flexible
interconnection between LANs using ISDN, with charges only
incurred when information is actually transmitted.
