T3 is a high-speed data-transmission medium formed by multiplexing 28 DS1 signals into seven separate DS2 signals, and combining the DS2 signals into a single DS3 signal. T3 links operate at 43.736 Mbps. T3 is also called DS3.
E3 is the equivalent European transmission format. E3 links are similar to T3 (DS3) links, but carry signals at 34.368 Mbps. Each signal has 16 E1 channels, and each channel transmits at 2.048 Mbps. E3 links use all 8 bits of a channel, whereas T3 links use 1 bit in each channel for overhead.
