Carrier telephony is a method for carrying several simultaneous long-distance telephone conversations over the same transmission line. Each conversation is shifted to a different frequency band, allow

…pair for receiving. Signal repeaters may be used for extended distance requirements. Before the digital T-carrier system, carrier wave systems such as 12-channel carrier systems worked by frequency-division multiplexing; each call was an analog signal. A T1 trunk could transmit 24 telephone calls at a time, because it used a…
