I have an option 81C and we are going to have another new office in another location a few miles away. What PBX equipments would I need to have to the new office to be able to be connected to our existing 81C in our other office? Would I have to buy an option 11C? What type of T1 would I need? A point to point T1? What type of PBX would I need? A fiber remote cabinet? or am I incorrect? Thanks for the help
 
You have many options. One is a fiber remote if you two fiber strands (dedicated for your use only) to the new location. You can purchase an Option 11C and tie it to the 81C with a point to point dedicated T1. You can also tie the 81C and Option 11C together with ITG Trunk (VOIP) and use your data network to tie the two switches together. All depends on how much money you have to spend. Make sure an telephony engineer helps you.
 
You forgot the last one: use a VPN (or direct) connection with a QoS to connect the 2nd office via VoIP (I think you will also have a network connection anyway, and using VoIP is cheaper then buying an 11C)
