This is a basic channel which can carries any kind of

Data (D) Channel is defines at 16 kbps or 64 kbps rate,
depends on users necessity.
It carries signaling information for B channels using
common-channel signaling (CCS).
It carries the information needed to connect or
disconnect calls and to negotiate special calling
parameters (i.e., automatic number ID, call waiting).

Hybrid (H) Channel is defines at 384 kbps (H0), 1536
kbps (H1) or 1920 kbps (H12) rate, where it is implied
for high rate application such as video, teleconferencing,
facsimile, high data bit and many others.
This channel provides a high bit transmission (hi-speed
fax, video, hi-speed data and hi-quality audio). It is
designed for broadband services.

Multiplexing
Power supply
By using the digital repeater device and not using the analog
amplifiers, the noise effect and signal attenuators are not increasing or
becomes too high. By this way, data can be send in longer distance and
travels through low quality routes in digitally and the data purity can
be determine.
3) Capasity of usage:
It is economical to build routes and transmission with higher bandwitdh,
including the satellite and fiber optic channels. A high quality of
multiplexing is necessary for the capasity of usage; whereby it is much
cheaper and easy to obtain by digital (time division) and not using
analog technique (frequency division).
