T1 Theory - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

I am writing a paper for my class on T1's for wireless. Can any one explain to me the theoroy behind it. I understand why T1's are in place. I dont understand there essential function. I know they operate @ 1.54 Mbit/s and they have 24 channels, but what do those channels exactly carry? How would it tie in to the MSC and BTS using it for GSM,UMTS or TDMA? How many calls can 1 T1 essentially carry? How much data before its overloaded? Maybe a good analogy would help explain it as well?
