About Our Company

Who We Are
ShopForOCx.com is the result of the cumulative efforts of independent T1 agents and customers from all over the world, the realized dream of thousands seeking real-time T1 and DS3 price quoting. It took a team of expert programmers months of research, experimentation, and over $1M in funding to create GeoQuote. That investment is now paying huge dividends; the days of having to contact a myriad of companies and then wait days or even weeks for them to send you back a price quote are now a thing of the past.

What We Do
Although GeoQuote is used primarily as a good faith price estimate tool, behind it is a team of T1 service experts that are ready to help. Just minutes after you submit your information to obtain a price quote, one of our trained and experienced T1 consultants will contact you to discuss your situation, analyze your needs, and give you the unbiased research that you deserve. Making an informed decision will be easy and quick with our revolutionary new T1 shopping system.

Where We're Going
Our T1 experts continue in their commitment to bring to the best T1 pricing tools available. A team of programmers remains in constant contact with our T1 providers to update rates, coverage area, and specials/promotions. You can rest assured that we will be here for you during all phases of service, from the decision making process, the application and credit approval process, the installation process, all the way through to the end of your contract and eventual renewal of your service. We are committed to you in every aspect of the customer relationship.

If you need to contact us for any reason, please, don't hesitate to call or email us at your earliest convenience. We will do all in our capacity to respond to your inquiry immediately.

 Frame Relay Multisite Survey

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Feb 23, 2025

Frame Relay was developed to solve communication problems that other protocols could not: the increased need for higher speeds, an increased need for large bandwidth efficiency, particularly for clumping ("burst" traffic), an increase in intelligent network devices that lower protocol processing, and the need to connect LANs and WANs. Like X.25, Frame Relay is a packet-switched protocol. But the Frame-Relay process is streamlined. There are significant differences that make Frame Relay a faster, more efficient form of networking. A Frame-Relay network doesn't perform error detection, which results in a considerably smaller amount of overhead and faster processing than X.25. Frame Relay is also protocol independent-it accepts data from many different protocols. This data is encapsulated by the Frame-Relay equipment, not the network.

Today's LANs and computing equipment have the potential to run at much higher speeds and transfer very large quantities of data. With the diversity and complexity of today's networks, management can be a mammoth task if you don't have the proper tools. Each environment is a unique combination of equipment from different vendors. Frame Relay uses a packet-switching technology, similar to X.25, but is more efficient. As a result, it can make your networking quicker, simpler, and less costly.

Frame Relay sends information in packets called frames through a shared Frame-Relay network. Each frame contains all the information necessary to route it to the correct destination. So in effect, each endpoint can communicate with many destinations over one access link to the network. And instead of being allocated a fixed amount of bandwidth, Frame-Relay services offer a CIR (committed information rate) at which data is transmitted. But if traffic and your service agreement allow, data can burst above your committed rate. Since Frame Relay has a low overhead, it's a perfect fit for today's complex networks. You get several clear benefits: First, multiple logical connections can be sent over a single physical connection, reducing your internetworking costs. By reducing the amount of processing required, you get improved performance and response time. And because Frame Relay uses a simple link layer protocol, your equipment usually requires only software changes or simple hardware modifications, so you don't.
