Coping with your evolving access network

Coping with your evolving access network

The Alcatel-Lucent access testing approach delivers testing capabilities in the Access nodes themselves, thus removing the need for test access matrices and costly external test-head solutions. Furthermore, as your access network evolves with the integration of POTS line cards (Class 5 replacement), you will be able to rely on the Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA to serve as a single integrated testing solution for DSL and POTS.

Over-the-time monitoring

Broadband services transported in high frequencies are more likely to be affected by line impairments such as bad contact, crosstalk, or interference. Because these problems are intermittent by nature, traditional line testing systems find them difficult to detect. But this can all change with the continuous line monitoring capability of the Alcatel-Lucent 5530 NA. Now such problems can be easily detected, along with their probable cause. The net result is faster reaction and problem resolution, especially for those troublesome and persistent line problems that you may currently leave unresolved.
