Private Circuit / IP Hoot
Private Line ‘Hoot’ Circuits
Private Line Circuits, also called Four Wire Circuits or “Hoot” Circuits, were introduced many years ago to meet the need of a circuit that would function as an intercom system. Anyone on the circuit could pick up a handset and make a general request and anyone on the circuit could respond. Financial institutions such as brokerage firms use private circuits to share information across sales offices. Oil and gas companies use them along pipelines for maintenance and emergency communications, as do railroads. Emergency management agencies and the National Weather Service use them for statewide and nationwide communications. Automobile salvage yards use private circuits for locating auto parts from other salvage yards.
