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.
