A New Alternative
Today, in our increasingly competitive and deregulated environment, PT&Ts, carriers
and telephone companies worldwide are searching for ways to provision more services, more
economically, and with better Quality of Service.
Since the copper loop is - and will remain for some time - the final link to most locations, General DataComm's Universal Access System enables carriers to optimize their extensive copper investment in a way previously not possible.
The UAS uses a common shelf to support a variety of high speed and subrate access products using HDSL, IDSL, DATX and v.34 technology, allowing service provisioning from 300 bps to 2 Mbps. In addition, since the UAS also supports grooming and multiplexing of multiple 64 Kbps and N x 64 Kbps loop circuits into E1/T1 pipes, carriers can also groom customers into their channelised Frame Relay, Digital Cross Connect, or even ATM networks.
One key feature of the UAS is its ability to bring this wide variety of products under a single, consistent network management scheme with an enhanced graphical user interface using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which allows link management of both the central site and remote units.
The Benefits of The Universal Access
System
As new service platforms such as Frame Relay and ATM are installed, carriers are faced
with the problem of provisioning access to them. The result is often a combination of
methods that require costly, specially engineered loop plant and equipment that is
specific to only one service offering.
The UAS requires no special engineering, and offers a modular, add-on system. It is an excellent alternative to fibre, microwave or 4-wire baseband devices. The benefits of the Universal Access System are immediate and include: an improved quality of service, reduced incremental service provisioning costs and reduced installation time - all in a single shelf system.
The Advantages of GDC's Family of UAS
Products
Flexible Service Provisioning The modular
approach of the UAS system allows a wide varitety of data rates and services to be
provisioned and managed from a single platform.
Reduced Engineering Costs The complex design required to engineer copper loops to support digital leased line services can be reduced to a simple two-step process with the UAS.
Step 1 establishes a database of the copper loop plant based on the resistance of the cables. Each Universal Access System technology is limited only by the gauge and distance of the cable used.
Step 2 involves deciding which product meets the customer's bandwidth and distance requirements and installing it onto the designated loop. Carriers can now centralize a more cost-effective engineering staff and provision it with more administrative than engineering personnel.
Reduced Installation Costs Costs can be reduced dramatically by
simply shortening the time required to complete an installation. Using existing loops,
modular plug-in hardware and remote centralized testing reduces the installation time to
nearly that required for traditional voice services. Further savings can be realized by
pre-provisioning the plug-in modules, which reduces the installation to assigning cable
pairs and connecting the customer-located equipment.
Reduced Maintenance Costs The UAS's centralized network management provides performance monitoring, testing and service verification for all equipment, both within the exchange office and at the customer location. Both performance degradation and fault alarms are constantly monitored, leading to significantly reduced Mean-Time-to-Repair. By detecting faults before customers report them and correcting degraded lines before they become total outages, service providers can greatly improve overall service availability and customer satisfaction.
