A leased line is a symmetric
telecommunications line connecting two locations. It is sometimes known as a 'Private Circuit' or 'Data Line' in the UK. Unlike traditional
PSTN lines it does not have a telephone number, each side of the line being permanently connected to the other. Leased lines can be used for
telephone,
data or
Internet services. Some are
ringdown services, and some connect two
PBXes.
