Noun
T-carrier (plural T-carriers)
(telecommunications) The generic designator for several digitally multiplexed signal carrier systems.
Note that when a T-carrier system is used as in North America, robbed bit signaling can mean that a DS0 channel carried over that system is not an error-free bit-stream. Source: Internet
This is equivalent to using a non-linear ADC as in a T-carrier telephone system that implements A-law or μ-law companding. Source: Internet
T-carrier spans are terminated, originally one per card but in later models usually two, in Digital Line Trunk Units (DLTU) which concentrate their DS0 channels into the TSI. Source: Internet
When carried over copper wire, this is the well-known T-carrier system, with T1 and T3 corresponding to DS1 and DS3, respectively. Source: Internet
Comparison of T-carrier and E-carrier Note 1: The DS designations are used in connection with the North American hierarchy only. Source: Internet
Frame Relay can run on fractional T-1 or full T-carrier system carriers (outside the Americas, E1 or full E-carrier ). Source: Internet
