Central office test platform
May 31, 2005 1:05 PM
Tollgrade (Booth #57000) introduces the DigiTest HUB next-generation central office test platform for both emerging broadband and legacy network testing.
The DigiTest HUB next-generation central office test platform is designed to support multiple testing and network assurance scenarios by retaining the interfaces to legacy equipment while providing testability to subscribers served on next-generation network elements.
The DigiTest HUB is a modular, 12-slot chassis for medium-to-large central office applications where a variety of services emanate. Plug-in modules can be added as required to support POTS, DSL Layers 1 to 7 and specials testing. Test plug-in resources can be shared to multiple network elements by the use of a module that multiplexes the test access path. This includes sharing a test resource to remote access elements as fiber is driven further out into the network in topologies such as FTTx.
Tollgrade systems already have access to 75% of the subscriber loops in North America. Our new service assurance solutions leverage this base and the processes already working to deliver automated, mass-market testability. When coupled with Tollgrade’s powerful LoopCare Test Operations Support System, the DigiTest HUB serves the testing needs of both legacy and evolving “packet” networks to facilitate a low-cost, asset-preserving transition.
