Fast Call Set Up : Calls are established in Inet within 1 to 2 sec making it particularly suitable for on-line applications such as Credit Card Verification etc.

Error-free Data Transfer : Data from one customer premise to the other is transferred virtually error free (BER better than 1 in 109).

Multiplexed Connection : X.25 connection enables multiple calls to be handled simultaneously, on a single connection to the Inet. This matches with the capabilities and requirements of multi-user computer systems such as Public Database systems and Corporate Management systems etc.

Low-cost Data Transfer : The cost of exchange of data within the country and abroad through Inet is the lowest amongst the different alternatives. These charges are also independent of distance i.e., they are the same from anywhere to anywhere within the country.

International Access : Inet is connected both ways to all important data networks in other countries. Data Network Identification Code (DNIC) of Inet for access from networks abroad is 4043. Inet customers can thus use the networking and database facilities offered by the international networks.

Gateways : Inet Phase II have both way connectivity to Remote Area Business Message Network (RABMN), High Speed VSAT Network (HVNET), Gateway Packet Switching System (GPSS), Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Internet and ISDN of the Department of Telecommunications.
