Tollgrade Communications Inc. (Booth 507) is demonstrating its DigiTest EDGE broadband test platform for DSL networks. The platform combines a precision narrowband and wideband metallic testing platform with multilayered DSL, ATM, IP and HTTP performance tests. Tollgrade says this lets service providers isolate DSL troubles between the customer's PC and DSL modem, metallic loop, DSLAM/ATM serving network and the ISP.
"As our customers continue to experience strong consumer demand for IP-based broadband services, they are looking for innovative ways to better automate their installation and maintenance processes," says Greg Quiggle, executive vice president of marketing for Tollgrade Communications. "Our solution was built upon Tollgrade's LoopCare Test OSS. ...When coupled with Tollgrade's DigiTest EDGE, this architecture allows...DSL service providers to extend their existing, highly-efficient POTS installation and maintenance procedures to a growing DSL business -- maximizing new deployment revenues while minimizing operations costs."
The company is inviting attendees of TELECOM '04 to stop by its booth for a free copy of its "Multi-layered Broadband Network" poster, which depicts the physical and virtual service layers, including application, transport, network and datalink.
